Mr. Nathan Freeman

Whole School Principal

St. Mary’s International School

Welcome to St. Mary’s International School!

Thank you for considering St. Mary’s International School for your child’s education. We are delighted that you are exploring our community, and I am excited to share with you what makes our school a distinctive choice in Hanoi.

Leadership with Confidence and Humility

In my role as principal, I believe that confidence and humility are essential qualities for effective leadership. Confidence is about believing in oneself and in the potential of others, while humility involves learning from and valuing the perspectives of our teachers, staff, parents, and students. Together, these qualities build a foundation of mutual respect and collaboration, which is crucial for school success.

Teachers Who Care and Challenge

At St. Mary’s, we pride ourselves on having teachers who combine high expectations with genuine care and warmth. Just as I experienced a balance of love and discipline in my own upbringing, our teachers strive to offer both nurturing support and rigorous standards. You can be confident that your child will thrive academically and emotionally under their guidance.

Preparing for the Future

As we navigate a rapidly changing world, we are mindful of the skills our students will need to succeed. With the rise of AI, many traditional jobs will evolve, and our goal is to equip students with skills that go beyond what AI can replicate. We are committed to fostering strong communication and leadership skills, which will be invaluable in their future careers.

My vision is to position St. Mary’s as the leading choice in Hanoi for exceptional social and emotional learning. By choosing our school, you can be assured that your child will experience not only top-tier academic instruction but also develop the critical social skills needed for a successful future. As you consider joining the St. Mary’s community, we are here to support you every step of the way, so please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information or with any questions you may have.

Warm regards,

Mr. Nate
Principal, St. Mary’s International School
