OUR PRIMARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM

One of the leading British-Vietnamese IPC schools in the country, our primary programme offers an outstanding education that’s carefully adapted to our local context.

In our dedicated primary classrooms, IPC specialists teach the skills, knowledge, and understanding our students need to thrive in a structured yet fun way. Learning is delivered through engaging themes and topics, which are personalised to individual strengths.

Importantly, our students learn in both English and Vietnamese, building on the bilingual education they receive in the early years.

ABOUT THE IPC

A CREATIVE AND FLEXIBLE PROGRAMME

The IPC is a creative programme with clear personal, subject, and learning goals. A truly flexible curriculum, it can be personalised to each student’s interests, talents, and level of understanding. 
  • The Subject Goals assess a child’s knowledge and understanding in specific areas, including maths, science, technology, history, geography, music, PSHE, and art and society.
  • The eight Personal Goals – enquiry, resilience, morality, communication, thoughtfulness, cooperation, respect, and adaptability – are embedded into each unit of work.
  • The Learning Goals raise our students’ awareness of national, international, and intercultural viewpoints.

Get active, get moving

Before lunch, students head to our play areas, Astroturf pitch, and sports hall. As well as working up an appetite, taking part in daily physical activities gets our students moving, develops their skills, and keeps them fit.

Mastering maths

Our children learn to love maths through our hands-on approach to numeracy. From running their own mini-supermarket to learning about proportions by baking Banh Troi, we make maths fun, every day.
