Our Philosophy
The International Kindergarten and Primary School of Buon Ma Thuot is pioneering a unique global curriculum here in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam. School leaders have seen the need for this region to continue globalizing and keep pace with the explosive growth of other more urbanized regions in Viet Nam. In this effort, members of the community made the great investment in Buon Ma Thuot's youth as the future of their community by constructing the International Kindergarten and Primary School in 2009.
English Language Teaching Philosophy
Given that the International Kindergarten and Primary School is a private institution requiring tuiton, one of the great appeals is foreign language instruction from native speakers of English. With the great differences in the Vietnamese and English languages, pronunciation is a critical step in the road to bi-lingual fluency. Thus, the International Kindergarten and Primary School are eager to recruit and retain English Language instructors from abroad as apart of the growing team of skilled educators here at the school
