Edufit Group has officially partnered with AIC Group (Japan) to develop an English–Japanese International Education Programme, with the aim of establishing a continuous learning pathway in Vietnam from Early Years through to Upper Secondary education.
The partnership responds to a growing need among Japanese families living in Vietnam: finding an international learning environment for their children that also enables them to maintain their Japanese language skills, cultural heritage and identity, particularly as they progress to higher grade levels.
With more than 15 years of experience in education in Vietnam, Edufit will oversee the development of internationally benchmarked facilities, system operations and quality assurance for the international English-language programme. AIC Group, with more than 50 years of experience in education in Japan, will lead the Japanese language and culture curriculum, supported by a team of experienced native Japanese-speaking teachers.
Building on their complementary strengths, the two organisations will jointly develop the English–Japanese International Programme at The Dewey Schools. Alongside the international English-language curriculum, students will study Japanese Language and Literature, as well as supplementary Mathematics in Japanese, with Japanese accounting for approximately 10% of their overall language exposure. This programme design enables students to develop the academic capabilities needed to thrive in an international environment while maintaining a strong connection to the Japanese language and cultural identity.
Ms. Tran Thi Huyen, Deputy CEO of Edufit Group, emphasised that the programme aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills and competencies they need to pursue their education confidently in an international environment, while preserving their connection to their Japanese heritage. It also provides a foundation for students to make informed decisions about their future pathways, whether they choose to continue their education in Japan or pursue educational opportunities in other countries.
Mr. Katsumi Kuwabara, Chairman and CEO of AIC Group, expressed his hope that the partnership would deliver a high-quality educational programme while serving as a lasting bridge for knowledge and cultural exchange between Vietnam and Japan.
By combining Edufit’s expertise in operating international education programmes with AIC Group’s deep knowledge of Japanese language and culture, the partnership opens up a new educational pathway for families in Vietnam. It aims to prepare students to engage confidently with the world through global competencies while preserving the values and cultural identity that make them who they are.
