Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year! We hope that your family has enjoyed the summer months and that your children are as eager as we are for school to start.
This summer, we have been preparing for a great school year. Several improvements were made to the campus, and in the Elementary division, there is a new addition for grade 1 classes, a new flex room, and, on our playground, a climbing mountain called “Dragon Hill.” Your children will love it!
We also continue to refine our educational program. Based on your feedback, we have made significant changes to our Virtual Learning program. However, naturally, we hope that we will be spending the entire year on campus. For those students who cannot return to Vietnam at this time, we have established a ‘remote learning’ program.
Attached, we have listed important dates for the start of the school year. You will receive a separate email with more in-depth details about the New School Year Orientation.
We are looking forward to welcoming your child to a new and exciting school year.
Sincerely,
Daniel J. Keller, PhD
Elementary School Principal
