HOME OF THE GRIZZLIES
Welcome to
St. Mary's International School
At St. Mary’s International School, we make learning fun. With an emphasis on inquiry-based, hands-on, cooperative learning, St. Mary’s provides a high-quality international education. Our approach to education combines a dynamic American curriculum with culturally inspired lesson plans to provide an international education while still recognizing the importance of traditional cultures. A holistic, engaging American Curriculum with an emphasis on cultural values provides our students with a firm foundation from which to explore the world and find success.
Our highly qualified teachers bring diversity into the classroom and the community. Each faculty member embodies our teaching philosophy and commitment to providing a rigorous, engaging, and nurturing environment for our students. At St. Mary’s, we believe that learning is driven by curiosity and motivation in a supportive environment with a focus on engagement, social interaction and constructive feedback. We inspire children to engage with the world, develop their unique strengths and achieve success in all areas of their lives.
Beginning in the 2023 – 2024 school year, we will offer a language support option for Korean students in our Pre-Kindergarten and Grade One Preparatory Programs. This additional support will allow Korean families who want their child to develop academic language ability in both English and Korean. This program will allow students to gradually increase their English-language fluency over two years, preparing them for success in an English-immersive academic environment in Elementary school.
Our campus is designed specifically for our youngest learners in all programs. With bright, innovative classrooms; dynamic indoor and outdoor play spaces; a dance studio, and a training pool, our Kindergarten campus is ideally suited for our 4 and 5-year-old students. It offers them the freedom to engage and explore in a cozy, child-friendly environment. Our staff of highly qualified International, Vietnamese and Korean teachers lovingly prepare our youngest learners with the skills they will need to successfully transition to Elementary School.

CELEBRATION OF VIETNAMESE CULTURE
At St. Mary’s, we understand the importance of culture and work to ensure that the values of Vietnamese culture are woven into our curriculum and celebrated in our community. Located in Hanoi, the beautiful capital of Vietnam, we are fortunate to be situated in the midst of a culture with a deep history that values respect, education, resilience, harmony, family, and community. We honor these values and keep them alive for students through cultural lessons and celebrations throughout the year.
We are St. Mary's
My mission is to guide St. Mary’s toward becoming the top choice in Hanoi for social and emotional learning, where children will learn the social skills necessary for future success.
