Just over two and a half years ago I was given the opportunity to come to BSA and teach
English. I am pleased to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here.
There are many great things to say about the school. The first thing that I noticed was the
cleanliness of the school. It is a wonderful, friendly and safe learning environment for the
students, and the equipment and resources has made teaching here so much more efficient.
What has impressed me the most is the hardworking and dedicated teachers and staff. I have
found them to be very professional and friendly. They are always there to offer help and to
cater to my needs.
Thank you to BSA for providing me with a wonderful experience over the past couple of
years. I look forward to continuing at the school.
Be part of a great team. Make a difference Working at Blue Sky Academy not only provides you the autonomy to teach creatively, but also an
opportunity to explore and immerse into the Vietnamese culture beyond the urban areas. As the school
is young and fast growing, you could play a key role in its foundation, culture, and development.
When I first started at BSA, I was new to both the country and teaching. So needless to
say, I was terrified. Within my first week at BSA all my worries were gone.
The school was accommodating, and made me feel like I was apart of the school
"family". They always made sure I was conformable. The students here are amazing.
They are all very respectful and they all really want to learn new things. I planned to
only stay for nine months but I've been here for almost two years now. My stay here has
nothing been but fantastic.
Working in an international environment gives me a great opportunity to explore the world as
well as learning experience through interaction with native teachers.
At Blue Sky Academy, I’ve enjoyed working with very creative and multi-talented colleagues.
Our students are smart and energetic. As a student in this school, one builds his or her own
independent habits from early age. As part of the school’s Montessori methods, children are
taught useful life skills. This also motivates me to improve my pedagogy, always striving to
become better and more creative. My philosophy is to make the best things even better.
I fully believe that, through a modern working style and a professional environment, BSA will
grow and attract more talents to come to the best school in Central Vietnam and more parents
to entrust their children’s education to us.
