Education
“Like adding new branches to the same tree,” Mary Malifarges, the Pedagogical Advisor at La Petite Ecole Ho Chi Minh City, describes the opening of a new campus at 22/1 Lê Văn Miến Street, An Khánh Ward (formerly Thảo Điền) and the introduction of two new pedagogical offerings.
Education
When people hear that La Petite Ecole Ho Chi Minh is a French school, they assume this means it teaches the French language. While this is true, there is much more to it. Educating students in French and English from Kindergarten through Primary (ages 1–11), the bilingual school adheres to the French National Curriculum established by France’s Ministry of Education. This instills an analytical mindset and a confident, empathetic outlook that transcends any singular language. The value of these skills and traits is reflected in the student population. Half of the students come from families without a single French parent, suggesting that a French education is about far more than merely being able to speak French.
