“Congratulations to the school for creating a lifelong learner” shared former parents at Tesla Education. Tesla offers the Integrated International Baccalaureate Programme in Tan Binh District (HCMC).
With the goal of developing the IB Learner Profile Attributes that are highly valued at prestigious universities, Tesla Primary Years Programme (PYP) focuses on developing Approach to Learning (ATL) skills for each student. Students’ achievement is not measured by scores or assessments but by developing the ability to think, communicate, collaborate, research, and organize themselves. While scores represent only results for the moment, to help students adapt and thrive in all environments, whether educational or social, appropriate learning methods play an important role.
Sara – a former Tesla student currently studying abroad in New Zealand, was awarded a co-shared Dux position, the highest score in the school. Her Science score is impressive the top 10% for all of Australia, New Zealand, and Asia Pacific students. “On her award, it noted her accomplishment was even more special as English is not her first language” shared Mr. David Watson – Sara’s parent.
According to Ms. Pham Thi Hue – Sara’s mother, the Integrated International Baccalaureate Programme at Tesla School provided my children with a solid foundation before being exposed to the learning journey in a foreign country. Sara is “learned how to learn” instead of being delivered knowledge passively so that she has independence and initiative in learning so as not to be surprised in the new environment.
