English speaking Schools in Saigon

Hi Tim,

Welcome to Expat.com

Less than £5000 pounds per child per year!

You have to be joking, the industrial/commercial scholl system is collecting upto USD$20,000 annually.

PLUS there are Application/Registration Fee's PLUS a Capital Fund Fee.

If your wife has VN citizenship there might be a possibility they could get in a local school - only USD$30 a month.

I will send you some info via PM later tomorrow morning.

I THOUGHT I MIGHT BE ASKING TOO MUCH BUT GOT TO TRY
HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE LIVING IN DALAT MY WIFE DOES HAVE VIETNAMESE
CITIZENSHIP ....... JUST NEED TO FIND SOMEONE TO TEACH THEM VIETNAMESE MAYBE 5 HOURS A DAY 5 DAYS A WEEK WHAT DO YOU THINK !
THEY ALREADY SPEAK A LITTLE AND HOW DO YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD TEACHER AND A NOT SO GOOD TEACHER ..
MANY THANKS JAITCH AND JULIE FOR YOUR REPLIES

KIND REGARDS

TIM

Hi Tim, could you please lower Caps Lock when you write in the forum?

Thanks,
Harmonie.

I can't read caps. I suggest you get your children over here, get them registered as VN citizens (dual nationality OK now). Your reason is that they are now 'home', don't even discuss school.

Da Lat is 6 hours north of TP HCM so you should get them into a VN school in Da Lat and forget about schools in the Big City.

VN schooling is quite reasonable, my daughter takes UK and Canadian tests occasionally so I can benchmark her progress. I am very sensitive to any politics and she is well aware of the differences between VietNam and the West. VN is nothing like Chinese schooling.

VN schooling is interactive, buy which both the teacher and he students talk and exchange views. Chinese schooling is more the teachers talk, talk and talk and the students listen.  VN schools do instill a good work ethic in the children.

And VN schools don't have people checking out for 'improper' political views.
