May 15th is selected by United Nations as the International Day of Families when family members can connect to each other and raise awareness about families’ issues. At UTS, we also have a family of big sisters, brothers in High School and lovely younger ones in Primary School. UTS-ers always take care as well as help each other if necessary, without distinction of age. The “Love Giving” stories-telling project is an activity which helps strengthen the connection among students at UTS. Students of Primary School usually listen to stories told by their Parents before sleeping. To bring the familiar and cozy feelings to Primary School students, Grade 10 UTS-ers visited classes, spent time telling short stories and then gave mini gifts to their juniors before the sleeping period. This project helped UTS-ers prove event organizing, presenting and detailed planning skills. Besides, this is an occasion for UTS big family to take care of each other which proves the contribution spirit – one of six core values of UTS-ers.

  Miss Thanh Nhan, Mother of Tue Minh – student of Class 1.5 has shared about the changes and growth of her daughter after a year learning at US Vietnam Talent International School: “Tue Minh is quite a shy girl while interacting with adults. She is very confident to make acquaintances with peers but somehow shy to communicate with her teachers. However, after a year UTS, she already has some positive changes. When Tue Minh acknowledges that she will be taught by other teachers in Grade 2, she expresses: ‘I will miss my old teachers so much, but no one can teach me forever in my life!’ Her thinking satisfies me since she knows that anyone should be independent, she needs to change to learn from more people. In long term, I hope that she can understand that the world will always change and we all need to adapt to it. Tue Minh understands that ‘we go to school to learn what we don’t know yet’. Therefore, while studying at UTS, she can freely give answers for questions without feeling ashamed. ‘Mr. Casey will never criticize me with the wrong answer, I just need to raise hands and express my ideas!’, said Tue Minh. I am really happy when she tells me that other teachers also apply the same teaching methods. I believe that she will more confident and be ready for new things without failure disappointment. Regarding the progress in knowledge, besides the standards of reading, writing and doing simple Math exercises like other Grade 1 students, she usually tells me about other knowledge from school that beyond my expectation. While enrolling at UTS, she has never studied at any language center. But now, she confidently teaches me how to add and subtract numbers, explain the stories she draws,
