Wellspring students' learning goals go beyond grades, aiming for happy, confident growth and a clear, long-term future orientation from an early age.

1. Wellspring Hanoi - A Happy School according to UNESCO standards

Proud to be the first school in Vietnam to join the UNESCO Happy Schools Community (in 2022), Wellspring Hanoi continuously strives to create a holistic educational environment where "student happiness" is always at the center.

Here, the school is not only a place for acquiring academic knowledge, but also a space for nurturing the soul, providing comprehensive care for students' physical, emotional, and life skills. As a result, each day at school becomes a meaningful journey, where children can maximize their individual potential with confidence and joy in learning.

Wellspring Hanoi - A UNESCO Model of a Happy School

Wellspring's vision is a community of individuals rich in knowledge and emotional intelligence, successful in academics and careers, mastering balanced and happy lives, and contributing valuable insights to a constantly changing and evolving world.

2. The Comprehensive 12-Year Learning Pathway of Wellspring Hanoi Bilingual International School

From primary school to secondary and high school, students gradually build a solid academic foundation while gaining diverse, practical experiences – to confidently develop, mature, and be ready for their future journey.

2.1. A 12-Year Journey to Happy Growth

The quality of education at Wellspring Hanoi is not just a commitment, but is guaranteed by global standards. Besides the academic foundation recognized by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training, Wellspring's full WASC (USA) international accreditation for its entire program from grades 1-12 is clear evidence of its superior and sustainable educational capabilities.

Simultaneously, the strategic collaboration of prestigious educational organizations such as Mizzou Academy, Edmentum, and College Board (the organization that administers the SAT, AP, PSAT/NMSQT exams), and Cambridge has created a globally connected learning ecosystem. This platform helps children maintain sustainable development, possessing a "knowledge passport" to be ready to integrate and step out into the world.

The quality of education at Wellspring Hanoi is not just a commitment, but is guaranteed by global standards.

Students' digital citizenship skills are solidly built as Wellspring Hanoi has been recognized as a Microsoft Showcase School for three consecutive academic years, leading the country in the number of Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts (MIE Experts) and with over 80% of teachers and staff holding Gemini certification. This is clear evidence of its outstanding digital transformation capabilities, effectively integrating technology and AI into both management and daily learning experiences. Notably, Wellspring is a pioneer in implementing artificial intelligence (AI) education within its core curriculum from grades 1 to 12.

Regarding language proficiency, students are tested and proven in foreign languages ​​through prestigious Cambridge exams such as Starters, Movers, Flyers, KET, PET, and IELTS.

All these foundations not only demonstrate the quality of education but also represent a commitment to a transparent and reliable educational path – giving parents complete peace of mind as they accompany their children on their journey to maturity and global integration.

2.2. Orienting towards global citizenship and integration skills

The journey of children's growth goes beyond simply accumulating knowledge; it also involves cultivating independent thinking and the ability to integrate, becoming true global citizens.

Wellspring Hanoi's curriculum is a solid blend of the foundations of the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training and the in-depth international academic standards CCSS (Common Core State Standards) and NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards). These are two common sets of knowledge and skills standards that students need to achieve, currently applied in many US states. This convergence is also designed to closely follow the OECD's (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) Education 2030 guidelines, emphasizing that students learn not only to "know," but to "do," to "live," and to be ready to take responsibility for their own choices.

At the same time, the UNESCO Happy School model is deeply integrated with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, placing well-being and equity as the foundation for each student's long-term and sustainable development journey.

WISers are trained to become happy global citizens with independent thinking, integration skills, adaptability, and social responsibility.

Therefore, learning goes beyond traditional textbooks and is expanded without boundaries through:

• Over 100 learning projects each year are implemented flexibly at each grade level, putting students into real-world experiences to directly solve problems and shape their global citizenship mindset. 

• A system of over 75 clubs in 25 diverse fields provides a rich playground from academics, arts, sports to technology and creative science, allowing students to freely explore their personal passions. 

• A diverse ecosystem of extracurricular and community activities creates countless opportunities to help students develop their intellect, life skills, and emotional depth simultaneously.

2.3. Building a Solid International Academic Foundation

To ensure English truly becomes an academic tool and a solid foundation for studying abroad, Wellspring Hanoi designs a curriculum where students use English as a "lens" to explore the world of knowledge – through subjects such as ELA, Math, Science, Computer Science, Personal Exploration Project, and Global Citizenship Education….

The entire curriculum is designed and operated rigorously according to reputable global educational standards, ensuring academic rigor, practical application, and sustainable international integration capabilities.

The US Common Core State Standards (CCSS) provide a clear roadmap for developing math and English language skills, focusing on cultivating critical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities. The US Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) shift from rote memorization of knowledge to applied scientific thinking, encouraging children to learn through exploration and experimentation. The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ​​(CEFR) serves as a precise benchmark for assessing and developing English language proficiency at international levels (A1–C2), ensuring children use the language flexibly in all contexts.

Students use English as a tool to develop a global mindset.

In addition to a superior curriculum, students' English exposure is optimized with 18–22 international lessons per week. They learn in an academic English environment, guided by 100% foreign teachers holding PGCE (UK) teaching certificates, which are globally recognized.

The co-teaching model between international and Vietnamese teachers helps students absorb knowledge effectively while providing close support for their psychological well-being and personal development.

This comprehensive support creates a solid foundation, helping each student confidently excel and grow within a standardized bilingual ecosystem.

2.4. Developing Individual Identity on the Journey of Integration

Instead of imposing a common mold, the school values ​​each student as a unique individual with completely different potentials and developmental paces. From this deep understanding, a flexible educational environment is created to allow children to freely shine according to their own identity.

Each student at Wellspring Hanoi is recognized as a unique individual – with their own potential, pace of development, and journey of growth.

To realize this personalized education philosophy, class sizes are small: 20 students in Grade 1 and a maximum of 24 students in other grades.

This advantage of small class sizes, combined with the close support of the homeroom teachers and assistant homeroom teachers in each class, allows them to easily guide, empathize with, and adjust their teaching methods to suit the abilities of each individual.

Furthermore, the learning pathway is not rigid but flexibly designed, closely following each stage of children's development throughout their 12 years:

Primary School: Building a solid foundation in thinking and language with the International Standard Bilingual Program. Middle School: Unlocking potential through the diversity of the Bilingual and Talented Bilingual Programs. High School: Optimizing career goals and study abroad orientation with flexible choices between the Bilingual Program, the Vietnam-USA Dual Diploma Program, and the AP International Diploma program.

Beyond formal classroom hours, children's passion discovery unfolds naturally through a system of over 70 clubs spanning 25 fields across all three levels, along with more than 100 learning projects and experiential activities each year.

2.5. Graduating with dual degrees, diverse career paths

Each graduation degree is not just the result of an academic journey, but also proof of solid preparation in knowledge and character. It is the "golden ticket" that helps students confidently explore future choices and be ready to step out into the world.

Each graduation certificate is not just the result of a learning journey, but also proof of solid preparation in knowledge and character.

The first guarantee of our students' abilities is that 100% of our graduates possess the Vietnamese National High School Diploma, along with prestigious international certificates such as IELTS (6.5–9.0), SAT (1250–1600), or AP certificates… This is a solid foundation for entering top universities.

Specifically, to provide a superior competitive advantage, the diploma Program is designed with a comprehensive pathway:

• Bilingual Program: Students receive a National High School Diploma from the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam along with international certificates such as IELTS, SAT, or AP certificates (depending on each student's ability and aspirations). 

• Dual Diploma Program (Vietnam - USA): Students receive two diplomas simultaneously: a National High School Diploma from the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam and a US High School Diploma issued by Mizzou Academy (a teacher training high school affiliated with the University of Missouri - a Top 100 university in the USA). 

• AP International Diploma Program: This program offers the opportunity to obtain a National High School Diploma from the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam along with an AP Diploma and AP Capstone (after completing AP Seminar and AP Research). This is a key academic highlight that creates a distinct advantage, maximizing the chances of winning international scholarships.

Possessing international diplomas and certificates, Wellspring students have maximum flexibility for their post-secondary journey. From there, they confidently take control of their future – proactively choosing universities domestically or internationally, conquering scholarships at top schools, and building a learning path that suits their personal aspirations.

This is a vital stage for each individual to break through academic limitations and begin their own journey of self-discovery.

• A long-term educational vision is demonstrated through early study abroad workshops, providing students and parents with a comprehensive overview of the learning path in advanced educational systems.

• The presence of a team of academic advisors throughout the program helps closely monitor each student's development, thereby personalizing their path towards their individual goals.

• Practical career experience sessions are not just exploratory trips, but also help students grasp the essence of the work, understand their passions, and develop career orientation thinking from practical experience.

• For the 2025-2026 academic year, Wellspring Hanoi plans to make significant changes to improve the quality of its International program for students at the beginning of junior high school. The international subjects for 6th grade students are taught entirely by native English-speaking teachers, with one Vietnamese teacher providing support.

All these elements blend together into a unified educational ecosystem, closely connecting academics, career guidance, and experiences.
