Phenikaa School - Preparing for the demands of the 21st Century

For centuries, Vietnam’s education has followed the traditional approach, which is teacher-centric and direct instruction. However, the drastic changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in recent years have had profound impacts on education. Students have become the center of learning, which means they are increasingly active in the learning process, while the role of teachers has shifted to facilitator and advisor.
In that context, Phenikaa School focuses on equipping students with essential knowledge and skills so that they will be ready for the massive changes in real life.

Physical Education and Life Skills

In addition to supporting students academically, one of the most important goals of Phenikaa School is to ensure students a healthy body and lifestyle. Therefore, the number of Physical Educations and Life Skills lessons takes up a considerable proportion of the main curriculum. The infrastructure of Phenikaa school is heavily invested with facilities such as a football stadium, swimming pools, music room, and studio, etc., to ensure that students have a balanced and healthy body and mind.

Language

Nowadays, the language barrier has been increasingly narrowed thanks to the rapid development of technology. Therefore, English has become a tool for learning, rather than a competitive advantage. That is why at Phenikaa School, students learn English for further purposes, namely studying other subjects, researching and creating products, etc.

Academic knowledge – Real-life experience

With the aim to prepare students a firm foundation for further learning and researching in the future, Phenikaa School focuses on basic and essential subjects, such as natural and social science.
Nowadays, with the remarkable development of technology, students can access knowledge anywhere and anytime, which has overshadowed the unique role of school in teaching and learning. With that mindset, we believe that students should be proactive in seeking for knowledge, practice critical thinking and presentation skills, with the teachers’ guidance and orientation. The well-invested School Library and Learning Center will support students to broaden their knowledge and perspectives.
“Learning by doing” is another highlight of Phenikaa School. We are proud to have a US-standard Makerspace, where students perform experiments and carry out their projects, ranging from IoT, Robotics to Astronomy, etc. Brilliant ideas and projects will contribute greatly to students’ successful application for abroad Universities.

Thinking – Skills

Our curriculum and educational programs are designed for the comprehensive development of students, including proficiency in English and technology, excellence in academic knowledge, problem-solving skills, scientific thinking, and essential life skills to be a global citizen.
