Movie Day
July 15
Now that tests are finally finished we can celebrate and have some fun. Wednesday, July 15 will be Movie Day at SIKS. Grades 1-6 will be going to CGV Cinema in Vivo City to see “Minions and Monsters” at 9:30 am and have some drinks and popcorn.
If you do not want your child to see this movie, please inform your homeroom teacher. All students should wear their formal uniform (white shirt and necktie) to school and bring a Tiger hoodie, because it may be cold in the theatre. Thank you for helping to make this day special.
Sports Day
July 17
This is the final day of the first term and we will celebrate with Sports Day!
The students will be divided into 10 equal teams with students from all grades on each team. 2 Teachers will be the captains of each team.
We will go to Phuoc Kien Ports Field at 8:15 and return at 1:00. All students and teachers must wear team colors and be dressed to exercise in the sun. Students should bring their own lunch for a picnic at the field. They can also bring drinks and healthy snacks. No chips. No candy. Cold delicious fruit juice and energizing fruit will be provided.
The goal is to have a fun filled competition with medals for the first-place team and a boys and girls MVP.
Go Tigers!

Elementary Curriculum
The SIKS Elementary Curriculum is specifically created for our unique students. The curriculum is annually updated to meet our students’ ever-changing needs in an ever-changing world.
The curriculum is well balanced and gives students an opportunity to explore their individual interests and passions and also understand their relationship to the local Vietnamese community and global community. We use a combination of traditional teacher-centered learning and hands-on inquiry-based student-centered learning to engage students of all interests and learning styles. The curriculum is integrated across the different subjects to improve the students’ ability to transfer their learning to other settings.
Students are evaluated on the final tests each term, and also on the quality of their assignments, presentations, participation, and effort.
