On October 27, in continuation of its mission to partner with international educational institutions in unlocking learners' full potential, representatives of the Cambridge International Academic Exchange Alliance (CIAEA) conducted an in-depth working visit to European International School Ho Chi Minh City (EIS).
This visit marked a promising beginning in jointly researching and designing supplementary academic programs and enriching global integration experiences for students across all grade levels.
Attending the meeting on behalf of the Cambridge International Academic Exchange Alliance - CIAEA was Mr. Kevin Qiao – Chairman & Founder and Mr. Lennox Li - Director. Welcoming and joining the discussions from European International School Ho Chi Minh City (EIS) were Ms. Jo Roberts – Co-Head of School and Head of Early Years & Primary, and Mr. Ben Armstrong – Co-Head of School and Head of Middle and High School.
Within the vibrant international educational environment of EIS, the Board of Director of CIAEA and the EIS's co-heads engaged in an open dialogue focusing on educational orientations and students' evolving practical needs throughout their developmental milestones. From the perspective of an organization specializing in researching and designing international academic solutions, CIAEA’s representative emphasized the vital importance of fostering independent thinking, multicultural resilience, and versatile adaptability from early childhood through to high school. The shared liberal educational philosophy between CIAEA and the EIS leadership established a strong foundation for both parties to shape actionable collaborative initiatives.
Specifically, both sides focused their discussions on co-developing supplementary competency-building frameworks tailored to the learning pathways of EIS students. These solutions aim to diversify international-standard academic experiences, igniting early curiosity and exploration among primary students while equipping secondary and high school students with in-depth research skills, robust academic capabilities, and the confidence needed to succeed in higher education aspirations.
