How would you rate The ABC 麻花视频 School?
Teachers pick on you, don鈥檛 take you seriously, and even neglect you no matter how obvious it is you鈥檙e tired or overwhelmed. Management is also horrid, this school cares more about dress codes and phones than our safety and well being. Teachers bully you if you ever show too much enthusiasm in your work, overall a very unmotivating environment. The teachers really don鈥檛 know how to read the room. The only thing that is keeping this school on the map are the students and their grades (thank you strict parents) The school looks way too much like a public school to be considered a private school, some fees are even more expensive than SSIS. Yet somehow the school facilities don鈥檛 change a bit. It makes me wonder if all the money just goes straight to the higher ups. Or some super high maintenance charity. Almost all of the school events are paid for and hosted by the students, coming to this school is just doubling your yearly expenditure. The sports are weird, in PE classes we always learn some unknown sports. All the tests needed to take in the beginning of the year is insane too, what鈥檚 the point? Just compare using last years results. All the PE teachers are just biased on who鈥檚 the most athletic. PE classes feel like hell on earth. Music and arts are fine. It鈥檚 just ridiculous that the orchestral orders of first chair, second chair, third chair, are based off of a pupils age, not their skills, which is totally unreasonable and unfair. We don鈥檛 exactly learn anything useful as well. Science and technology are also pretty basic. The problem in this school is how stingy they are and how the teachers act. Imagine being stuck in a fire drill where you鈥檙e scared you may not make it out alive, and proceed to get in trouble for texting your own mother. This school has their priorities wrong.
The school has teachers that constantly pick on you. Many teachers are extremely unsupportive with the pupils. I am a student at the ABCIS and the experience at the school is extremely poor.
Last year I sat through an interview for here and it was one of the most old fashioned interviews. The head of the secondary campus asked questions an interviewer would not dream of asking these days. I couldn鈥檛 believe it! Education has changed so much now and research is clear about what is good practice and what鈥檚 not. It was disappointing to discover that questions like his were still asked. It was also confusing that the head of secondary was not able to answer the questions I asked about the section and its environment. Writing this review is a chance for me to warn others since I still can鈥檛 believe the outdated practices suggested. Parents and teachers should not waste their effort and time. I ultimately secured a position in an educationally advanced school and I am loving the journey.
I am happy my friend tell me about this website. I want to share my impression about this school. There are lots children in one class. This is not why we pay nearly highest fees in hcm. Friends who has children at cheaper schools have smaller class and better teachers with more experience. Big class size show this business care only about profit not customer. This school waste a lot money from fees and charity donation. Donations for charity are asked alot. Following this there is new campus. It expanding even during covid crisis. To have money for expanding is unusual during covid crisis. Families who help this school in some way are valued but others are seen for profit only. I decide to remove my children from this school and will recommend same to my friends. It is sad some parent are impressed only by results and will stay. They do not recognize the negative on children that come from being at maximum profit, one dimension place. Children at this school do very little outside academic. Teachers are nice to have conversation but most are not experienced and not effective and this is why most children spend each evening at academy. An example is my friend son was taken for math by teacher with high senior position in the school for few weeks. He was not good. He couldn't answer many question and made easy mistakes. My child try get help but teacher always say they busy. It is obvious that bullying is problem here also. I am happy that some family have courage to move their children to different school away from harmful atmosphere. It is sad I thought this school good for children development

The ABC 麻花视频 School (originally the ABC English School) was established in 1995 at a time when Ho Chi Minh City lacked options in international education for children of foreign investors, expatriates and Vietnamese nationals. The school began with 12 students in a playgroup and nursery class and added new classes each year. By 2001 the school catered for 70 children from Playgroup to Year 6, teachers were increasingly recruited from overseas and the school formally began to follow the British National Curriculum. At this time, the school name was altered to the ABC 麻花视频 School to reflect the growth of the school and the diversity of the students and staff. In 2003, the school was registered in the UK with the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and Department for Education and Skills (DfES). At this stage, the school was involved in a very rapid phase of expansion and growth as its popularity grew. The school moved into its first purpose built campus in Saigon South in 2004 and shortly afterwards, we were obliged to move to the larger present campus at Saigon South as the student population then exceeded 500. In 2005 the school was accredited by Cambridge University (UK) to teach the 麻花视频 General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and Advanced level examinations. In the same year, the school successfully applied for membership of the Federation of British 麻花视频 Schools in South and East Asia (FOBISEA). Currently, The ABCIS is the only School in Vietnam to be acknowledged and accepted as a member of the Council of British 麻花视频 School (COBIS); a group of the most prestigious and best of British curriculum schools abroad that uphold the very highest academic standards and are recognised by the British Government. Similarly, it is the only school in Vietnam to offer examinations from Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA) board.
