Hear from Our Parents, Students and Alumni

Mother of Ha Nam (EY4)

One of the reasons I chose ISSP for my kid was because I trust Cognita group. The campus has a harmonious combination between modernity and tradition, with green trees and facilities to fully meet physical and extracurricular activities requirements, which is very suitable for this early development stage of my child.”

Mrs. Ngan Nguyen

Mother of Daria A. (Grade 2) and Marya A. (Grade 5)

“For me, the most important thing is the happiness of my children. They love ISSP and always want to go back to school even when they are on holiday. They are getting great academic achievements thanks to the support from the teachers and the ISSP community.”

Mrs. Tatiana A.

Ji H.

Father of Joel W. (ISSP alumni)

“My son, Joel, progresses in many aspects thanks to ISSP. Besides academic growth such as reading and math skills, he grows as a person. Joel is more mature and starting to take ownership of his behaviors and choices. Like any other parent, I want the best place for my son and I think ISSP is the right choice. I am so proud of my son.” 

Mr. Adam W.

Mother of James (EY4) and John (KG)

“The school is very warmly welcoming to kids. I have truly appreciated the teachers who spend time saying hello every morning to my kids. At ISSP, I am always confident my children could practice and learn to communicate English well. They feel free and ready to communicate with teachers, the Head of School, and even the bodyguards of the school.”

Mrs. Flora Dang

Mom of Kha N. (Grade 5) and Khang N. (ISSP alumni) 

“How wonderful to see the Principal welcome the children every morning!
