I am delighted that King’s College Wimbledon Ho Chi Minh City now enables us to offer a King’s education to young people in Vietnam.
We are committed to bringing to Ho Chi Minh City the same education in Mind, Spirit and Heart that has shaped King’s for nearly 200 years, as we prepare our young people to fulfil their potential and to lead extraordinary lives in the world beyond school.
Life at King’s is an exhilarating adventure of learning. Ours is an outward-looking, forward-thinking global community shaped by two centuries years of intellectual aspiration. Pupils pursue academic excellence with curiosity and creativity, in a fun, kind and caring environment, where they are supported to thrive. Above all, we look to life at 25, to the lives young people will lead, as we prepare them to a positive contribution, whichever pathway they choose, with the heart of our lion.
The opening of King’s College Wimbledon Ho Chi Minh City is a hugely exciting opportunity for youngsters and parents who live and work in this vibrant city. Situated in the inspiring development in The Global City, our new school will bring the history and traditions from King’s College School, Wimbledon and combine them with world-class facilities to create a truly exceptional educational experience.
At its heart, King’s College Wimbledon Ho Chi Minh City will offer a challenging and stimulating curriculum which will lead to impressive outcomes for its pupils. However, in preparing children for life at 25, we know that excellent grades are just one part of what is needed to succeed. King’s College Wimbledon Ho Chi Minh City will offer an unrivalled Personal Enrichment Programme (PEP), drawing on its strong relationship with the school in Wimbledon, to introduce its pupils to the wider skills they will need to be agile and flexible in an ever-changing world.
It is a privilege to be the Founding Head of King’s College Wimbledon Ho Chi Minh City. I look forward to welcoming families and to building a school community that reflects the values and aspirations at the heart of a King’s education.
