Educational methodology

Design Thinking

Design thinking is a human-centered approach to learning. It allows students to engage with the way designers think, have hands-on experiences with the designing process, and finally create a real prototype. Along the way, they apply their knowledge, construct new knowledge, and develop creativity, communication, and empathy – gaining insights into other people’s needs. This process also facilitates problem-solving ability.

Inquiry-based learning

This self-directed learning approach starts with constructing knowledge by making questions, building hypotheses, and testing them through experiments This approach fosters deeper understanding as it moves away from mere information delivery and supports students’ self-directed learning.

Project-based learning

Project-based learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which students learn by actively exploring and applying knowledge in real-world projects. PBL projects are complex tasks, challenging questions, or problems that require learners to design solutions and hone their skills through their products or presentations to a real audience.

Differentiated instruction

Differentiated instruction means tailoring instruction to meet individual needs based on the student’s readiness, interests, or profiles/learning styles.

A pioneer in teaching
Design Thinking

Students are provided an ideal space to experiment with their ideas, asking “Why? How? What is a better way?” to find solutions for real-world problems.

FACILITIES

International-standard learning environment

When it comes to school design, we often answer the question ‘How can we build a school that can stand the test of time and solve the times’ challenges? How can the school’s facilities support learners?’

Then, The Dewey Schools Cau Giay was constructed based on the “student-centered approach” with a total area of 10,000 m2, allowing students to experience a smart learning space equipped with modern facilities and school days filled with the joy of discovery.

"Our kids always smile brightly and not stressed about studying"

The happiness of parents like me is to see our kids always smile brightly and not stressed about studying when picking them up from school. At home, he is comfortable talking about school, activities he had with his classmates, what he learned and how useful it is. It is one of the outcomes that we expect when sending our kid to The Dewey Schools Cau Giay.

"Khoa An has never wanted to miss a class, except when he was sick"

During five years of studying at the School, Khoa An has never wanted to miss a class, except when he was sick. He loves the school and his classmates. He enjoys studying, talking with teachers, participating in extracurricular activities, and having meals at the school canteen. Besides, I am very impressed with Ms.Caitlyn's dedication. She is an English teacher who carefully monitors students' performance, always listens to parents' opinions, and has timely support for students in the learning process. Therefore, I am happy when my child studies at TDS because it's important to me that students can develop a passion for learning and feel happy, which is exactly what I can see in The Dewey School Cau Giay.

"My children affectionately share their thoughts, show their gratefulness, and care about me"

I am so surprised and touched when my children affectionately share their thoughts, show their gratefulness, and care about me. When talking with the Homeroom teacher, I know they are taught to observe and feel the love among the family members in Vietnamese-Literature subject. In addition to such a quality academic program, Dewey Cau Giay also impressed me with extracurricular activities such as Winter Concert, Tet markets, D-show, etc. Thanks to these events, students not only can enjoy school life, meet friends, and broaden their knowledge about culture and arts but also have opportunities to show their talents and identities.

"What impressed me the most at The Dewey Schools was the core values"

What impressed me the most at The Dewey Schools was the core values which cannot be found in the schools I attended before. Four values, Integrity - Passion - Generosity - Lifelong learning, are often reminded and applied in our daily learning environment. The teachers at the school are always enthusiastic and dedicated, and perhaps the inspiration they bring to classes has helped me to acquire knowledge effectively. In addition, my friends and I have opportunities to grow through bonding activities and lead the junior students in a series of different events at school.
