For kindergarten, we have obtained the Montessori education method, which is a child-centered method of education that respects children"s nature of growth.

In Montessori classrooms, children make creative choices in their learning, while the school and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process. Children will work in groups and individually to discover and explore the knowledge of the world and to develop their maximum potential.

At the primary stage, OVIS offers the curriculum of IPC (International Primary Curriculum), which uses a set of creative pedagogues that integrates academic, educational, personal development and international learning for children worldwide. Currently, more than 1500 schools in 85 countries around the world are adopting IPC.
