OBJECTIVES OF PRIMARY EDUCATION AT PHS

The primary education goal of PHS is the comprehensive development of students physically, culturally, emotionally and intellectually. The program is built around five key elements: Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes, Awareness and Habits.

Knowledge from subjects is designed to be appropriate for each age group, to relate to the world around them and to follow the standards of international primary school programs. Children are encouraged to experience, explore and learn.

STUDY RESULTS REPORT AND PARENTS MEETING

Student progress reports are sent home monthly and at the end of each semester. The school holds a meeting with each parent in October and March every year. In addition, the homeroom teacher will regularly contact and exchange information with parents to coordinate and best support children in learning and developing at school.

A SAFE AND HAPPY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

PHS students study part-time every day from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. All standards on safe environment, hygiene and health of PHS are strictly controlled.

Each year students will be measured and selected a set of tables and chairs suitable for their height regardless of their grade. The average living area is 10m2 for a student. The whole school applies three-zero hygiene criteria: no garbage, no smell, no water (including restrooms). The conditions of light, air convection, and temperature are strictly maintained.

Here, in addition to being cared for and taught by teachers and staff, elementary school students are also especially loved by high school seniors. PHS parents send all their children from grades 1 to 12 to school. There are families with up to four siblings studying together.

From the next school year, high school students will have several hours of community service during the year. One of those activities is taking care of an elementary class at the school. They will help the children study, practice sports or participate in the organization of school events. Middle school students practice many skills and working styles from this activity, while elementary students are happier when they are cared for and respected.
