Miss Thanh Nhan, Mother of Tue Minh – student of Class 1.5 has shared about the changes and growth of her daughter after a year learning at US Vietnam Talent International School: “Tue Minh is quite a shy girl while interacting with adults. She is very confident to make acquaintances with peers but somehow shy to communicate with her teachers. However, after a year UTS, she already has some positive changes. When Tue Minh acknowledges that she will be taught by other teachers in Grade 2, she expresses: ‘I will miss my old teachers so much, but no one can teach me forever in my life!’ Her thinking satisfies me since she knows that anyone should be independent, she needs to change to learn from more people. In long term, I hope that she can understand that the world will always change and we all need to adapt to it. Tue Minh understands that ‘we go to school to learn what we don’t know yet’. Therefore, while studying at UTS, she can freely give answers for questions without feeling ashamed. ‘Mr. Casey will never criticize me with the wrong answer, I just need to raise hands and express my ideas!’, said Tue Minh. I am really happy when she tells me that other teachers also apply the same teaching methods. I believe that she will more confident and be ready for new things without failure disappointment. Regarding the progress in knowledge, besides the standards of reading, writing and doing simple Math exercises like other Grade 1 students, she usually tells me about other knowledge from school that beyond my expectation. While enrolling at UTS, she has never studied at any language center. But now, she confidently teaches me how to add and subtract numbers, explain the stories she draws,

  How are your first online lessons, UTS-ers? In response to the new fluctuations of the pandemic, we have to stay apart from each other in the very last days of Semester II, School year 2020 – 2021. We are now missing the images of UTS-ers who studied as well as played enthusiastically everyday going to school! Although we are not together, let’s keep in mind that we can overcome these difficulties to meet each other again at UTS campus in the near future. To make this wish come true, please follow these protection measures as follow: 1. Always wear medical mask or textile mask in public and crowded areas, medical center and quarantine zones. 2. Regularly wash hands with soap or hand sanitizer; clean surfaces and contacting objects (door knobs, mobile phones, tablets, tables, and chairs). 3. Keep safe distance with each other. 4. Avoid mass gatherings. 5. Conduct health declaration as required while going outside.   The pandemic brings us many challenges, but it is an occasion for us to prove our awareness, positive spirit and readiness for the rapidly changing world. Let’s try together, UTS-ers!

Ms. Giang Tien, Mother of Uyen Phuong – student of Class 7.2, expressed meaningful feelings about her daughter’s learning journey at UTS: “Uyen Phuong enrolled the 7th grade at UTS after 6 years studying at another school. During the last school year, she achieved good results in not only academic but also extra-curricular fields such as drama and sports. Uyen Phuong was always a good student in previous school years, but her limitation is that she rarely communicates with other people. This limitation was immediately improved when enrolled at UTS and learned Drama – Civic Education. After very first lessons, her communication skills are much better than before. Especially, Director Viet Linh and Ms. Cam Tien inspired Uyen Phuong a lot so that she could freely express her emotions through the lines of the “Make friends with the sky” drama on professional stages. UTS has brought Drama the into education curriculum, marking a spectacular step for changing the teaching method of some “unconvincing” subjects. Moreover, Uyen Phuong received a lot of support, companion and encouragement from both UTS and family. It has a great impact on Uyen Phuong so that she can go further and longer in the following school years. With that being said, it is also important to mention the role of parents in creating success for children. Parents should cooperate with the school and not just assign all responsibility in students’ training to the school. Parents, more special than anyone else, must figure out the advantages and disadvantages of their children, then have exact solutions and encouragement for any behavior of their children. In addition, UTS’ facilities, the enthusiasm of Admissions counselors, security guards, and homeroom assitance agents also also make UTS become a friendly school. I am grateful for what UTS has been doing and also
