BIA: Bilingual International Academy
At Viet Hoa International School this is an ambitious and distinctive program that upholds both English and Mandarin as co-standard official languages of instruction—setting it apart from most international schools where one language typically dominates.
Highlights:
- Mandarin and English co-standard language instruction
- Math instruction in both Mandarin and English, with IXL online platform integration
- 21st Century Experiential Learning approaches: PBL, HIP, STEAM
- Class sizes between 18 to 24 students
- From Kindergarten onwards, students are immersed in a balanced bilingual environment designed to foster fluency in both languages. Even core subjects such as Mathematics are taught bilingually to ensure deep academic and linguistic integration.
- By Grade 5, students are empowered to navigate both languages independently—selecting books from the library in either English or Mandarin based on personal interest and reading level.
- As students advance to high school, they have the opportunity to specialize in either the Taiwan Ministry of Education curriculum or an American curriculum pathway, both supported by the school's strong bilingual foundation.
-
This dual-language, dual-pathway model prepares students not only for academic success, but also for future global citizenship.
