Grade 1 is the starting point for a long journey of learning, a “golden” time for children’s strong physical and psychological development. This is the time when parents are both excited and have many concerns:
- Is the child confident enough to leave the arms of their parents to integrate into a new environment?
- Has the child developed the skills of independence, concentration and adaptation to the learning routine?
- Will the Grade 1 program overload or leave the child with knowledge?
- Are the teachers understanding so that the child does not feel “lost” in a crowded classroom?
Understanding these concerns, Hanoi Adelaide School offers the Explore & Innovate Preschool Experience: an experiential journey, where each learning topic is an exciting discovery, helping children prepare thoroughly for the new journey.

Diverse learning experiences – Explore and create
The program is designed with familiar and applicable themes, bringing children to new discoveries:
- Discover Me – Discover yourself: Identify yourself, your family and your school.
- Exploring Together – Make friends & Explore: Learn how to make friends, cooperate, explore the world with your senses.
- Wonders Around Us – Secrets around us: Learn about objects, food, insects and familiar everyday things.
- Journeys Ahead – New journey: Explore trips, sounds, experiences with pets.
What your child receives before entering grade 1
- The course not only helps your child get used to the new learning environment, but also forms essential skills:
- Ready and confident: Your child improves his communication skills, confidently expressing his thoughts and feelings to teachers and friends.
- Independent skills: Children learn how to manage school supplies, prepare and maintain their books and study corners.
- Solid foundation of learning and skills: The curriculum is built in a balanced way between H.A.S’s typical subjects such as English, STEM – Robotics & AI, Math thinking, Art, Social-emotional education.
