Relocating to a new country is an exciting adventure.
At Sky International Preschool, we have been welcoming families of 50+ nationalities from around the world for over 30 years.
We understand better than anyone that finding a high-quality international school in Hanoi for your child is a top priority. We also know the relief that parents feel once their child is settled, has friends, connects with their teacher, loves learning and going to school. That is why supporting and settling children is always our top priority.
Our extensive experience, professional approach, and diverse community make us uniquely equipped to welcome your family.
Our Professional Team - Nurturing children’s minds, bodies & emotions
The quality of an early childhood education program hinges on its educators. At Sky International Preschool, our team of qualified early years educators is committed to excellence and genuinely cares about children. Every day, they create innovative and exciting learning experiences through play-based and child-led activities that inspire curiosity and growth.
Effective communication is at the heart of our practice. With small class sizes and good adult-to-child ratios, our educators have ample time to connect deeply with each child individually every day, fostering a clear understanding and strong connection. Equally important, they communicate openly and regularly with parents—using platforms like StoryPark, allowing parents to gain an insight into their child’s day. In addition there are lots of events held at school for parents and families to attend. Parents feel informed, connected and involved, and a true partner in their child’s learning journey.
Our Professional Settling-In Program: Ensuring a smooth Start for Your Child
Our settling-in approach prioritizes:
Parental Presence: We encourage parents to join their child at school for their first few days, gradually stepping out of the classroom as your child builds trust, confidence and adapts to their new environment. This gentle, phased approach, supported by our reassuring educators, helps children feel secure and minimizes anxiety (for both children & parents).
Language Focus: At Sky, the whole day is spent in English - the language of play is English, the language of music, Art, Story time, lunch time, and we like to believe even nap time - where children dream in English! Being in an all-English environment can feel overwhelming at first, but at Sky we are very proud of the way we engage with children, helping them all to feel comfortable communicating and expressing themselves from day one, regardless of English language ability.
Choosing the Right School for your child is an important decision
Location and Convenience are also important, with 3 campuses in Hanoi, you can choose whichever is closest to your home, minimizing the time spent in Hanoi’s traffic.
Is your child (& are you) school-ready?
While every child develops at their own pace, you might notice your child showing signs of school readiness, such as:
- Paying close attention to other children when you are out and about
- Wanting to do things independently
- Showing curiosity about the world around them
- Frustration at home with their toys (even the newest!)
If you have noticed any of these signs, it may be your child showing you they are ready for school.
Why Sky International Preschool Stands Out for Expat Families in Hanoi
With over 30 years of educating international children from over 50 nationalities, Sky International Preschool offers:
Authentic Play-Based Learning: Our curriculum fosters natural curiosity and development through engaging, child-led play, underpinned by the latest educational research.
100% English Immersion: Your child will thrive in a fully English-speaking environment, enhancing their language skills naturally.
Truly Diverse Community: Our student body and staff proudly represent over 50 nationalities, creating a rich, multicultural learning experience that prepares children for a global future. This diverse environment helps new expat children settle in quickly by finding common ground with peers from various backgrounds.
Environment as the 'Third Teacher': We believe that physical space plays a vital role in learning and keeping children safe. Our facilities include spacious, light and calm classrooms all with air purifiers (essential during Hanoi's winter months with high AQI), a dedicated Art Studio, Cooking Lab, and a magical Light & Shadow Atelier, designed to stimulate creativity and exploration.
Unwavering Professionalism: Our dedicated team of highly qualified and compassionate educators are committed to providing the highest standards of care and education, ensuring a nurturing and stimulating environment for your child.
