Curriculum

Your child's journey of discovery

Educating the Head, Heart and Hands of little global citizens — international standards interwoven with Vietnamese cultural values.

The PLAY & LEARN method

Play that teaches — deeply

TopMind teaches with PLAY & LEARN, a method our school built specifically for Vietnamese children: your child lives in two languages every day and learns through their own hands, senses and games.

  • Bilingual every day: English phonics, vocabulary and reading woven between Vietnamese
  • Project-based: one theme a week, and every theme ends in something your child made
  • Sensory science for the little ones, nature exploration for every age

Six classes

A class for every age

Small groups, dedicated homeroom teachers and programs designed for each age's developmental rhythm.

Vo Thi Sau

Vo Thi Sau

1–2 years

The gentlest start: a small group with the same teachers all day, four freshly cooked meals, a real nap, and nappies and potty training taken in their stride. English begins here — the foreign teacher opens the morning every weekday — and they swim twice a week in the shallow, fenced end of the pool.

Kim Dong

Kim Dong

2–3 years

A language explosion. First words in two languages, first friendships, and learning to name their own feelings. The foreign teacher comes every weekday, they swim twice a week, and sensory science and number play arrive as games rather than lessons.

Picasso

Picasso

3–4 years

Creative arts and a widening world. English with the foreign teacher every weekday, swimming twice a week, and Taekwondo begins — the first year of the extras that carry on to the end of school.

Newton

Newton

4–5 years

Early logic, mathematics and scientific enquiry — STEAM accelerates from here, with English alongside a foreign teacher every weekday.

Edison

Edison

5–6 years

Grade-1 readiness: pre-primary skills, ePad writing practice and advanced problem-solving, with daily English and Vietnamese literacy side by side.

da Vinci
International Program · 3–6 years

da Vinci

A mixed-age international class in a 100% English environment. The foreign teacher is with them morning and afternoon every weekday — English, STEAM, drama and role-play — and nothing is translated.

A fully English-speaking environment — TopMind's premium option.

Why parents choose us

What every child gets, at every age

The campus sits in a quiet, green part of Mỹ Gia, away from the traffic and noise of the centre — and these six things run all year, in every class.

English every weekday

Not a lesson once a week. Our foreign teacher works with every class every weekday, from the one-year-olds upwards, and English carries on through the day in the small instructions children actually hear.

Small groups, familiar faces

The same trained teachers stay with the same group through the whole day, so a child is known rather than supervised. It is what makes the first fortnight bearable for the youngest ones.

Swimming every week

Included, not an extra. Our pool has a separate shallow section for the little ones, fenced off from the deep end. Taekwondo joins in from age three.

The park next door

A real public park sits beside the school, so outdoor time is part of an ordinary day rather than an outing — nature walks, playground games and campus exploration, every afternoon.

Watch the day yourself

Cameras stream to parents while your child is here. You do not have to take our word for how the morning went, and you never have to ask.

Saturdays are different

Music and aerobics, educational shows and workshops, with all the children together — and a field trip every second week.

39 theme weeks

A new world to explore every week

The school's English curriculum runs on weekly themes — these are the real themes of the children's school year.
