Program
Introduction
PennSchool is proud to offer a comprehensive curriculum designed specifically for students from Elementary to Secondary School. Our approach goes beyond academic instruction, placing equal emphasis on students’ mental well-being and holistic development.
Holistic Education – Bridging Knowledge and Emotion
Our curriculum thoughtfully integrates Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) to build a foundation of psychological safety and emotional self-management skills. Through SEL, students are empowered with empathy, effective communication, and conflict resolution skills—creating a nurturing and supportive learning environment for all.
A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation
PennSchool skillfully combines the strengths of Vietnam’s educational traditions with the inquiry-based, student-centered approach of American curricula. This blend creates a well-rounded learning experience that meets the evolving needs and challenges of a globally connected world. Students not only engagingly acquire knowledge but are also encouraged to explore, create, and apply what they’ve learned in real-world contexts.
The 5E Model – A Key to Holistic Growth
Our teaching methods are built around the 5E instructional model:
- Engage – Stimulate motivation and curiosity in learning.
- Explore – Encourage students to investigate and experience for themselves.
- Explain – Deliver knowledge clearly and vividly.
- Elaborate – Apply learning in practical ways and expand creative thinking.
- Evaluate – Provide continuous feedback and assessments to enhance learning.
Throughout each phase, students not only gain academic knowledge but also develop essential emotional intelligence skills—such as recognizing, understanding, and managing their emotions—vital components for intellectual and personal growth.
A Journey of Personal Growth and Academic Excellence
PennSchool’s curriculum offers a strong foundation for success both in academics and in life. We are committed to accompanying each student on their learning journey, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to confidently navigate the challenges of the future.
