Bilinguals get all the perks. Better job prospects, a cognitive boost and even protection against dementia. Now new research shows that they can also view the world in different ways depending on the specific language they are operating in.

SPEAKING two languages rather than just one has obvious practical benefits in an increasingly globalized world.

Your child is maturing rapidly. Active and mobile, h/she is now moving around on a tricycle and using other wheeled toys. These adept movers respond freely to music and love the rhythms of music, shaking and twisting their bodies. Better hand-eye co-ordination allows mastery of new tools like a toothbrush and scissors.

The time between 24 and 36 months is often known as the “terrible twos” but this is not a very helpful way of describing the emotional roller-coaster little ones are on. Being emotional is a perfectly natural part of growing up and it becomes more evident as your child is showing increased independence.

Your toddler’s sense of who they are is developing quickly. This can, however, bring with it displays of frustration, wanting to be more independent, and aware of themselves as different to other toddlers.

Raising bilingual children comes with many well-known benefits. For parents, it can be very rewarding; however, it isn’t always as easy as some may think. Children don’t magically become bilingual overnight.

Children love using technology and are accessing the internet at an increasingly younger age. Here are four steps to help keep your child safe whenever and wherever they go online.

Research shows that both genes and the environment influence your child’s development.

Chi Man and Bao Tran had been doing the field work in Standard Chartered Bank for 3 days last week. During 3-day work, we have learnt lots of different skills which are really useful in real life such as communication, flexibility, team-work, etc.

The Vietnamese Lunar New Year, Tết, arrives again with joy and excitement filling the warmth atmosphere. Every year in BVIS, we celebrate in the spirit of Tết by organising meaningful events such as Tết Festival, Tet Assembly and a competition between houses- the Tet Tree Decoration. This year, starting from 11th January, students from years 7 to 13, are coming down to the football field during Break and Lunch time to help decorating the trees for their house teams.

On Monday of this week, the Student Council representatives from all three Ho Chi Minh City campuses met at BVIS.

Many students see sitting mocks as nothing more than a cruel trick. But these tests have more value than you might imagine – here’s why.

Is it an advantage to speak more than one language? Yes. Bilingualism helps children’s learning because they can think about their ideas in both languages. They can communicate with more people in their community and internationally and understand different cultures. They stay connected to their family, so they feel secure in their identity and have more self-confidence.

On Monday, November 9th, a group of staff and Students from Chuyen Biet Rang Dong school visited us here at BVIS. This school is one of our new link schools within the Binh Chanh community.

At the beginning of September, we were very proud to hear of the publication of 6 children’s book written by Ms. Truc, our legendary Librarian. These books are from the series “Educate young children’s imagination”, a project that Ms. Truc has conceived during her time at BVIS, and one she feels very committed to.

Often we are asked at school how you can help your children at home. A very simple, fun and effective way to support your child can be to play card games with them.
