Our teaching was accredited by the French Ministry of Education in 2020, which brought us into the AEFE partner network, a system of more than 500 French schools worldwide. Accreditation is not a one-time badge. Our methods, our teachers and our professional development are reviewed on a regular schedule against the same standard applied in France.<\/p>\n<p>For families who move, this matters more than it first appears. A child leaving La Petite Ecole can enter any school in the network and pick up where they left off, in the same curriculum, the same year group and the same assessment framework. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-sm-6 col-lg-3 mb-2\">\n<div class=\"cardcolor d-flex flex-column\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lpehochiminh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MG_4110-372x300.jpg\" width=\"\" height=\"\" alt=\"MG_4110\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"text d-flex flex-column justify-content-center align-self-stretch\">\n<div class=\"title d-flex flex-column justify-content-center\">\n<h4>Bilingual French-English, taught by native speakers<\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>La Petite Ecole Ho Chi Minh follows the French national curriculum for preschool and primary school, alternating between instruction in French and English on a half-day basis, with lessons taught by native speakers.

Children choose between activities. They are given time to work at their own pace rather than to a clock. Teachers guide rather than direct, and the classroom is arranged around the child rather than the lesson plan.<\/p>\n<p>The point of all this is confidence. A child who is used to making choices and being trusted with them arrives at the next stage of school expecting to succeed, and that expectation does much of the work.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-sm-6 col-lg-3 mb-2\">\n<div class=\"cardcolor d-flex flex-column\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lpehochiminh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sand-playground-372x300.jpg\" width=\"\" height=\"\" alt=\"Pourquoi La Petite Ecole HCM?\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"text d-flex flex-column justify-content-center align-self-stretch\">\n<div class=\"title d-flex flex-column justify-content-center\">\n<h4>A green campus in Ho Chi Minh City<\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We are on Nguyen Van Huong, in one of the quieter green pockets of Ho Chi Minh city and a short drive from most of the area&#8217;s residential compounds.

Children grow things in the school garden, watch them change through the year, and learn where their food and their waste actually go.
