Andy's Class

Last night, our students at Andy’s Class had a field trip to the Vietnam Food Culture Festival, where learning came alive through real experiences.

The students explored colorful food stalls from all three regions of Vietnam, soaking in the festive atmosphere and discovering a wide variety of beautifully presented dishes. With their own 200,000 VND, they confidently chose, lined up, and enjoyed the foods that caught their interest, practicing independence, decision-making, and cultural appreciation along the way.

So proud of our students for their curiosity, confidence, and joyful spirit.

Some of the most important lessons are never found in textbooks. A family trip is warm, safe, and meaningful. But a journey with friends and teachers is a completely different experience where children learn to make their own decisions, adapt, and grow independently.

Without parents by their side, they learn how to build real friendships, handle unexpected situations, and become more independent and self-aware.

These are experiences that cannot be “made up” later in life. Each stage of childhood happens only once, and once it passes, it’s gone. The more they explore, the earlier they experience, the more confidently they grow. Sometimes, the greatest gift a parent can give… is the chance for their child to step out into the world with their friends.

🎃 🎃 Happy Halloween! 👻
Andy's Class had an amazing Halloween party this past Sunday! We had so much fun celebrating with the kids from Saturn, Neptune, Mars, The Moon, and Titan Classes, along with their families. A huge thank you to all the parents for their support—it truly made the event special. We’ve made so many wonderful memories together!

Life is a tough but fair teacher. The sooner children are allowed to go out and experience the world, the more opportunities they have to build character and adaptability.

Day 11: A Journey Completed, Growth Achieved! 🌟

And just like that, we've reached the final day of our students' "journey to growth"! Eleven days might not seem long, but it was just enough for them to truly step out of their comfort zones, miss home a little, and appreciate everything they have.

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them. They embraced every challenge, from learning life skills and mastering teamwork to immersing themselves in the new cultures of Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. This is a great group of youngsters!

Personally, I've loved every moment spent with them, witnessing their incredible development. I sincerely hope we can make another adventure like this happen in the future!

A huge thank you to all the parents for giving your children this amazing opportunity, and to everyone who helped us arrange and make this unforgettable trip a reality.

Day 10: Souvenirs & Singapore Exploration!

After a quick recharge in Batam, our students were ready for more! Day 10 kicked off with some fun souvenir shopping – finding the presents for family and friends back home.

Then it was back to the vibrant streets of Singapore to explore even more of this amazing country. They had a fantastic time simply enjoying each other's company and making more great memories with their friends.

Day 9: From City Buzz to Island History!

What a contrast for our students on Day 9 as they journeyed from modern Singapore to Batam, Indonesia!
Stepping into a completely different environment, they tried authentic Indonesian food. It was incredible to see them connect their real life experiences with what they'd researched for their debating lessons about various countries truly making their studies come alive!

The highlight of the day was a profound visit to the Vietnamese refugee camp on Galang Island. Here, they met Mr. Abu, a local guide who once lived there. He shared powerful stories and showed them around the camp, turning history into a tangible, emotional lesson. It was a truly meaningful experience, deepening their understanding far beyond any textbook.

Day 8: Singapore – Navigating a New City! 🇸🇬

What an early start to Day 8 as our students packed up and set off for Singapore! This wasn't just a simple bus ride; it was a real life lesson in cross border travel. They followed the flow of local commuters, taking the bus to Johor Sentral, then navigated the bustling immigration checkpoints between Malaysia and Singapore. Witnessing thousands of people moving between the two countries was an eye-opening experience, and their excitement for Singapore was palpable!

Once across the border, they had to figure out Singapore's efficient MRT system, from purchasing their SmartLink cards to identifying the correct lines to reach their hotel.

But the self-reliance didn't stop there. For dinner and their visit to Gardens by the Bay, they took charge, discussing food options, deciding on cuisines, and figuring out the logistics. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to practice real-world travel skills, from navigation to decision-making.

Ending the day, they felt a huge sense of accomplishment for successfully leading their own way through a new, vibrant city. We're incredibly proud of how they embraced every challenge and demonstrated amazing independence.

Day 7: A Fantastic Day at Legoland!

After all the challenges, Day 7 was dedicated to pure fun at Legoland! You can imagine how excited our students were, many have been playing with Lego since they were little, so stepping into this park was like a dream come true.

They dove into many activities, explored Lego creations, and even took on some thrilling roller coasters! But what truly made the day special was seeing them just enjoying time together with their friends, surrounded by so much laughter and joy. It was the perfect way to unwind and create some unforgettable memories.
