Newton Inter-level School's philosophy of 'training future leaders'

Newton Inter-level School applies information technology and modern teaching methods to train generations of outstanding students.

According to Ms. Le Thi Bich Dung - Vice President of the Board of Directors of Newton Inter-level School System, the school's educational spirit is summarized in the slogan: "Every student is a future leader". To realize this philosophy, the school implements an interesting experiential learning method. According to the traditional educational method, students will acquire knowledge by reading, copying, listening, watching, and presenting. With the experiential teaching method, students acquire knowledge through practice, projects, STEM, participating in competitions, field trips, and domestic and international summer camps.

Through experiential activities, students will have a solid knowledge foundation, increase their interest, initiative, and promote their creative potential. Students have the opportunity to access knowledge through many different senses such as sight, hearing, touch, smell... This contributes to increasing students' ability to remember, increasing necessary skills such as information synthesis, analysis, communication skills, creativity, situation handling skills...

According to Ms. Dung, at Newton, parents can easily see their children change a lot after joining this educational environment. These are students who are knowledgeable but no less witty and confident; students who have sharp opinions and arguments in debate competitions; students who are energetic and determined in subjects and sports competitions, according to the school's leadership representative.

Newton Inter-level School System focuses on developing 3 subjects: Math, IT and English throughout 12 years of study. Teachers use advanced teaching methods in these subjects, combining achievements and inventions of technology, thereby making students interested and easily receptive.

Not only do teachers skillfully apply information technology to teaching, Newton also allows all students to use tablets in class, along with digital experts such as ChatGPT, Google, Bing... This contributes to providing students with a lot of expanded information, being proactive in learning, stimulating their ability to explore and develop their thinking.

The tablet grading method also helps teachers to free up manual grading, making grading more accurate and diverse with more questions. Parents also receive their children's results faster and closely monitor their daily learning.

According to Ms. Le Thi Bich Dung, the school aims to improve students' information technology skills to become the foundation for all fields and careers they choose in the future. "When they finish grade 12, students' level will be equivalent to that of second-year university students majoring in information technology, even if they do not major in this field," she hopes.

In the future, Newton continues to aim for optimal methods to train generations of "global students" - excelling in information technology, foreign languages and leadership skills. The school also moves towards smart school management, creating a system that connects all parents, students, teachers and principals.
