I'm trying to find some international schools in Da Nang. I want to move there next month and I need a school for my 7 year-old daughter. I know that there's Singapore International School there but I don't know the fees.... Are there any other ...
Large loans to international schools where the school refuses to honor the loan terms, or closing an international school at the beginning of the semester to leave the country pocketing everyones tuition fees are both examples of fraud. when you ... Read More

And another international school in the news… be careful and fully investigate a school before enrolling. https://ampe.vnexpress.net/news/news/education/parents-put-themselves-in-risks-by-giving-loans-to-international-schools-4658104.html Read More

And not surprisingly, the Green Shoots owner ran away with everyones tuition money (https://ampe.vnexpress.net/news/education/uk-owner-of-hoi-an-international-school-leaves-vietnam-as-school-abruptly-closes-down-4650457.html). I think they tried to ... Read More

Oh, it looks like Green Shoots and Hội An International School now have the CIS accreditation (Council of International Schools, which is the European accreditation , the American system uses WASC, and some of the best schools are dually ... Read More

Virtual classrooms and online distance learning is mostly a waste of money, as this pandemic certainly demonstrated (with most kids like 2 years behind despite years “studying” online). If your kids succeed in this, great, but most kids ... Read More

Applying for IB is a great step but not nearly the same as getting accredited. Hội An International School also was trying to get it but now they gave up and just using Cambridge. Most of these schools use the “we are applying for. ... Read More

@lilyfish oh, I forgot to mention: they hire legit Vietnamese teachers for “support” in the classrooms in basically a ruse to the government. By having actual certified teachers (Vietnamese, because the backpack foreigner isn’t), ... Read More

@lilyfish Have you checked out Skyline school? I believe their campus in Đanang offers this. Many international schools simply rely on online schools, with many of these programs being low quality, and you could do at home for a fraction of the ... Read More

Just a follow up. Although I homeschool my kids now, I was curious again about the local international school offerings, as I hadnt checked it out recently. I looked up again the accredidations for schools in Danang, Hoi An area. There are 3 legit ... Read More

I looked into this school briefly, they opened recently, I think about 2 years or so. Looking at the website, the yearly tuition is $17k/ year (395vnd) plus extra costs, for each child. I can't see any true international school certifications ... Read More

Hi. Yes, I am still living in Hoi An. The homeschool teacher we used several years ago was not very good and we cancelled her. Then my kids went to Palm River. It is a nice small school, and inexpensive, but they weren't learning much. The older ... Read More

I am planning to move to Da Nang and was wondering if any other members have children enrolled in Greenshot international school? And if so, any one have an opinion about Greenshot?
The best accreditation for international schools from my research is the WASC ( Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accredited School. The Singapore International School in Danang is accredited with this. From my last contact with Green ... Read More

Sorry, here's an update from my last post on this topic. We have become disappointed in the quality of education at the home school in Hoi An. Now we are working on trying to transfer the kids into the Singapore School near Danang. Although it ... Read More
