"After 6 hours of walking through the Sapa countryside, the groups started to arrive at the campsite and began to put up their tents. Some students were also brave enough to go for a little dip in the river to cool down from the day’s trek".

Hanoi, November 20 - The BVIS Hanoi’s IGCSE Certificate Presentation Evening taking place in the UK Embassy in Hanoi was an event of honour to celebrate the success of BVIS students after the IGCSE examination.

'At the heart of their educational philosophy is a desire to develop learners who are curious, collaborative, creative and able to identify and solve complex problems. It is therefore incredibly exciting to share the news that Nord Anglia Education (NAE) has formed an innovative partnership with MIT to help shape our learners of the future', Chris Dawson (STEAM Co-ordinator and Science Teacher) shared about the MIT collaboration with NAE after his traning week at MIT.

'It was clear that all the students took away something from the experience. It was more than just a sore thumb and aching muscles. They left Tanzania with a new set of skills, developed their problem-solving, experienced cultures that were nothing like they had seen before, made a lot of new friends and, most importantly, impacted on the lives of people who remain less fortunate than themselves' - Gareth Owen, Head of Learning Support (BVIS Hanoi) shared about the student expedition trip to Tanzania 2018.

On 14th November, we were privileged to welcome Prof. Paul Jensen, Deputy Dean in the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Melbourne, to deliver a masterclass in ‘Innovation and Public Policy’. Our students witnessed first-hand the format and atmosphere of a university lecture, helping them appreciate what to expect when they enrol in their course at university.

Previously, the path to achieve outstanding results in such examinations as A-Level or IGCSE was a significant challenge for most students born in the 1970s and 1980s who dreamed of studying abroad. Nowadays, young people demonstrate their confidence and high academic level successfully negotiating examination demands with flying colours. Common features among these young people is their ability to identify passion, to master the pressure of getting high scores and their openness to receive and exchange support from teachers and family.

“I’m here to make sure that our students receive the most from our shared resources and our collaboration. We expect our students to be creative, facing problems and solving them, not just in dancing class but also in real life”, said Salla Saarikangas, Juilliard Dance Curriculum Specialist. She had a two-day visit to BVIS Hanoi as part of The Juilliard/Nord Anglia Education Performing Arts Programme.
