St. Mary's International Kindergarten -

HOME OF THE GRIZZLIES

Welcome to

St. Mary's International School

At St. Mary’s International School, we believe that learning should be both enriching and enjoyable. Through hands-on, inquiry-based learning, our research-backed Creative Curriculum empowers students with the skills and confidence to explore, question, and discover. This approach blends a rigorous American curriculum with culturally inspired lessons, honoring both global perspectives and traditional values. Our aim is to provide a world-class education while creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn.

 

We understand that learning is fueled by curiosity, and we prioritize engagement, social connection, and meaningful feedback to inspire each child to reach their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally. Our highly qualified teachers bring diverse expertise to our classrooms, fostering a nurturing, interactive, and supportive environment that encourages children to develop their unique strengths.

 

Designed to meet the needs of our youngest learners, our Kindergarten campus offers bright, inviting classrooms, dynamic indoor and outdoor play spaces, a dance studio, and a training pool, all creating a “home away from home” for our 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old students. Here, children can play, grow, and learn in a stimulating child-centered environment. Supported by a team of dedicated teachers, we guide each child in building the skills they need to thrive, ensuring a seamless transition to the next stage of their educational journey.

EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT

The Administration at St. Mary’s has over 10 years of experience operating international schools in Vietnam. We bring a deep understanding of Vietnamese culture and government relations, combined with expertise in international elementary and secondary education. This allows us to offer St. Mary’s families the sense of security that comes with knowing their child’s education is in good hands.

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.
