Dare to try different things
In his essay to his dream university, Nguyen Thanh Dat (grade 12 student, TH School) thanked his parents and TH School for helping him have a learning journey full of experiences, to venture out to try different things and explore his own limits.
“ During the four years of boarding school, I had many times more joy. The void of being far from home and parents was filled with the love of my second home - boarding school. I still remember the first days of getting to know my friends in the common room, the camping trips on campus, playing basketball with my older siblings and cleaning, decorating and giving meaningful gifts to the preschool children in Con Cuong, Nghe An with my friends ,” Thanh Dat shared.

Ms. Vu Thu Hang, Thanh Dat's mother, said: Before entering TH School, Thanh Dat studied at a public school, was not an excellent student, and was not fluent in English. At the time when he had just turned 15, his psychology and physiology had changed a lot, and he had to study entirely in English. If he chose a new learning environment, there would certainly be many challenges to overcome.
However, through practical experience, talking with teachers and other parents and discussing with their child, they still decided to transfer their child to the boarding environment of TH School in Hoa Lac, Hanoi.
“ Thanks to moving to boarding school, during the familiarization period, my child had an English environment, friends to share with, plus the support of teachers, so my child adapted very quickly ,” Ms. Thu Hang shared.
Up to now, Thanh Dat's changes have made Ms. Thu Hang feel proud and see that she has put her trust in the right place. Thanh Dat confidently MCs his mother's primary and secondary school reunion, applies for a part-time job in a cafe when summer comes to gain more experience for himself, is not afraid to admit mistakes but is also ready to debate to defend his personal opinion if he thinks it is right.

Thanh Dat also wrote in his essay that he was trained in English skills, thinking skills, and digital communication skills through subjects such as Digital Media, English, and English math.
In addition, I also honed my teamwork, communication, presentation, and critical thinking skills through weekly creative challenges and extracurricular activities. Mastering knowledge and soft skills helps Thanh Dat gain more confidence in conquering the A-Level exam, the key to opening the door to international and Vietnamese universities.
Thanh Dat shared that the weekend trips while staying at TH School and the trips with his family ignited his passion for tourism.
The 1:1 discussions with teachers and participating in career counseling activities at the school helped me find my major and dream university – Tourism Management at British University Vietnam (BUV). I confidently applied for a scholarship at this dream school and am waiting for the results.
Build good habits, prepare for the future
Having two children studying at TH School Hoa Lac campus, Ms. Hoang Diep Anh (Ha Tinh) is very satisfied with the way the school helps her children build good habits and learn life lessons from real-life experiences.

Tram Anh, her eldest daughter, shared with her mother the valuable lessons she learned at boarding school such as gratitude, appreciating the life around her, learning how to congratulate herself on small victories, or the lesson of tolerance for mistakes so that she has the opportunity to be recognized, corrected and improved.
As for Tuan Kiet, her second son, he has become much more proactive after each group work with friends. He knows how to use his time to optimize his learning productivity while still ensuring his health.

For Tram Anh and Tuan Kiet, studying and living with friends in a multicultural environment is one of their joys. Every experience here brings countless lessons, relationships and new knowledge, so that they can become more mature and be ready to step onto wider paths ahead.
After 4 years of her children studying at TH School, Hoa Lac campus, Ms. Diep Anh clearly felt the positive changes in Tram Anh and Tuan Kiet with habits that lay the foundation for success such as independence, proactively approaching problems and taking responsibility, the habit of planning and adjusting goals according to reality.

Tram Anh and Tuan Kiet proactively discussed with their parents about the majors and universities they wanted to attend and prepared their scholarship applications. In 2022, Tram Anh successfully won 10 prestigious scholarships in the US. In 2023, Tuan Kiet also received scholarships and was admitted to 4 international universities.
Ms. Diep Anh shared: “ Letting my children study at TH School was the right choice for my family. Tram Anh and Tuan Kiet were able to immerse themselves in an international environment, practice life skills and independence in daily activities in addition to thinking and learning skills. The boarding days at TH School helped Tram Anh integrate very quickly into life in the US despite the many differences in culture and lifestyle. And I believe Tuan Kiet will adapt quickly whether he chooses to study in the US or the UK .”
