The Canadian International School System has opened a new campus of Canada - Vietnam Kindergarten at HCM City’s District 7.

The new facility with an investment cost of VND295 billion (US$12.64 million) has capacity of 500 students.

In addition to modern classroom facilities, 65 per cent of the campus is devoted to an environmentally friendly playground and areas for outdoor activities to foster both healthy minds and healthy bodies, including a water park, train classroom, dinosaur garden, and a 400-seat cinema designed with a sound and lighting system suitable for children.

Currently, Canada - Vietnam Kindergarten District 7 has 350 students and more than 100 teachers and nannies.

Construction of a new Binh Chanh campus is scheduled to begin this school year.

For a decade, Canada - Vietnam Kindergarten has been the home of children from 18 months to six years old from different countries. — VNS
