Usually, I like to narrow down the range of schools we look at to 2 or 3. In this case, we looked at two schools in Saigon in District 2. We chose the British International School Vietnam for a few reasons, that I talk about in no particular order….
Uday was shy and scared of crowds and loud noises when we came to Vietnam. In Singapore, he was going to school, but it was a teeny, tiny one for 20 children only! BIS encouraged social interaction within a secure environment. When he joined F1, Uday had about 19 kids in his class, with 4 adults to supervise and teach them. The open plan layout of his classroom meant that he was able to mix with a large group of children without even having to leave the room.
On top of this, he was exposed to music, the library, robotics and the gym where he learnt to interact with different primary specialist teachers and he was able to mix with children from other classes through the after school clubs programme. By the time we left Ho Chi Minh City, we were reaching school at am, but only coming back at 5pm since Uday would refuse to leave school while a single child remained for him to play with!
Another reason we chose BIS were the teachers. We initially met Ms Sarah Curran, whom I absolutely loved - she was upbeat, energetic and enthusiastic and just such a positive person, that I decided on BIS even without visiting the other school!
But what a lucky mistake that was - both of them were absolutely perfect in their roles, and both helped my son settle in well. Finally, we wanted a system of schooling that would be accessible no matter where in the world we went next so that as our son grows older, he will be able to settle in quickly. The Nord Anglia Education group is a large one, but even if one is not able to access it, as has happened in our case, the British system of schooling is available more or less all over the world.
Similarly, in the initial months, Ms Precious encouraged playdates with peers and activities that would help my son build fine motor skills.
Ms Mary got me to ride my first ever bicycle - one borrowed from BIS.
