For Kindergarten: the Kindergarten screening aims to record children’s characteristics and abilities for their future homeroom teachers so that appropriate care and education can be provided for their development. Vinschool refuses to accept students who have infectious diseases, severe congenital anomalies or special educational needs as our current care services and facilities unable to support young students with special needs. The Kindergarten screening at Vinschool takes the form of a teacher-student conversation which employs words, gestures and body language. During the conversation, teachers may use appropriate teaching tools, toys and games to engage children and create scenarios to observe their reactions, thereby identifying their skills. Children need to demonstrate basic knowledge as well as fundamental cognitive and motor skills (holding, grasping, stacking, walking, running, jumping, etc.) expected of their age.
For Primary, Secondary and High schools: students will be evaluated in the following subjects:
Standard program: Math, Vietnamese Language/Literature, ESL, Logical thinking;
Advanced program: Math, Vietnamese Language/Literature, ESL, Logical thinking. Students who enter Grade 10 or higher must also take Math and Science tests in English (these students are exempt from taking the Math test in Vietnamese). Those who apply for lower grades may take the Math test either in English or Vietnamese;
Students will be directly interviewed by teachers;
