ACADEMICS
Education is a crucial foundation for the comprehensive development of children, encompassing emotional, ethical, intellectual, aesthetic, and physical aspects.
At Sydney Elementary and Secondary School, education goes beyond the acquisition of information – it fosters independent thinking, practical application, and proactive learning. The curriculum is carefully designed and optimized to provide a strong knowledge base while enhancing students’ ability to explore and apply their learning in real-life contexts.
Sydney Elementary and Secondary School implements an educational program in accordance with the Ministry of Education and Training’s regulations, integrating technology and global integration skills. This approach empowers students to confidently access knowledge and prepare for future academic challenges.
The education program at Sydney Elementary and Secondary School is optimized based on the Ministry of Education and Training’s new framework (issued on December 26, 2018, under Circular No. 32/2018/TT-BGDĐT). This program ensures that students acquire a strong academic foundation, apply knowledge effectively in real-life situations, and develop long-term self-learning skills.
Beyond core knowledge, students are equipped with essential skills for career orientation, independent thinking, and positive social interactions. The School also emphasizes English proficiency through a range of subjects such as Science, Mathematics, Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE), Arts & Creativity, and Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE).
With this comprehensive approach, Sydney Elementary and Secondary School aims to foster intellectual growth, strong character, and practical skills, empowering students to acquire knowledge confidently and prepare for the future.
Teaching Methods in the National Education Program
The reformed national education program not only provides knowledge but also encourages students to actively explore and apply what they learn. Instead of passive learning, students are motivated to take ownership of their education, develop competencies, and shape their personal qualities through engaging, hands-on learning activities.
A key shift is the transition from traditional teaching methods to active learning approaches. This transformation emphasizes critical thinking, independent learning, and real-world application. The principle of “learning through practice” is widely applied, enabling students to grasp theoretical concepts while refining practical skills and fostering creativity.
At Sydney Elementary and Secondary School, the national general education program is delivered through modern teaching methods such as project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and flipped classrooms. These proven approaches enhance student engagement, promote active knowledge acquisition, and cultivate a natural enthusiasm for learning.
Additionally, the School integrates interdisciplinary projects that connect knowledge across various subjects. This holistic learning model allows students to identify the relationships between different fields and apply their understanding in real-world contexts.
Through these innovative teaching methods, Sydney Elementary and Secondary School not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures independent thinking, problem-solving abilities, and self-confidence, preparing students for lifelong success.
