Bui Thi Xuan Primary - Secondary - High School: Fostering a comprehensive learning environment

Bui Thi Xuan Primary - Secondary - High School (commonly referred to as Bui Thi Xuan) is the earliest-established private high school in Dong Nai province, founded in accordance with the province's and the Ministry of Education and Training’s policy to encourage the socialization of education.

Established and operational since 1999, the school has become a trusted place of learning and personal development for tens of thousands of students across Dong Nai province over the past 26 years.

According to the administration of Bui Thi Xuan School, from its inception, despite many initial difficulties, the school set a clear vision: to become a modern, nationally accredited institution, while also aiming to meet ASEAN and international education standards.

To realize the vision and goals set from its inception, the school has invested in fully equipped, modern classrooms that comply with the standards set by the Ministry of Education and Training. In addition, the campus features specialized facilities, including computer and music rooms, a library, boarding facilities, a canteen, a swimming pool, and sports grounds. Upon entering the campus, parents and students are immediately greeted by a green, clean, beautiful, modern, and welcoming environment.

Alongside its infrastructure, the school has developed a team of highly qualified, dedicated, and responsible teachers and staff. These important factors have allowed Bui Thi Xuan School to consistently maintain high teaching and learning standards, as evidenced by a 100% high school graduation rate for many consecutive years and consistently high university admission rates.

The school not only focuses on enhancing the quality of teaching and learning but also emphasizes the comprehensive development of students’ skills through life skills clubs, experiential learning activities, and programs that nurture patriotism, compassion, and a spirit of sharing.

According to the administration of Bui Thi Xuan School, despite continuous investment in modern and well-equipped facilities, the school has maintained affordable tuition fees over the years to ensure stable learning opportunities for all students and provide peace of mind for parents. Additionally, the school offers tuition exemptions and reductions for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, particularly those from low-income families, including children of laborers.

Nguyen Thi Kim Anh from Tan Trieu Ward shared: “The school has modern facilities, a friendly learning environment, and responsible teachers, and it saves commuting time compared with public schools. Beyond the core curriculum, students also have access to advanced international programs, such as the Cambridge English Program, IELTS preparation, and MOS International Computer Certification, all on campus. These factors have led me to entrust my children to Bui Thi Xuan School for many years.”

Bui Thi Xuan School – A notable institution in charitable activities

Over the years, Bui Thi Xuan School has been recognized as a standout in charitable initiatives within Dong Nai’s education sector. Each year, the school organizes the Spring Tree program, supporting disadvantaged communities and victims of natural disasters and floods, with contributions reaching billions of Vietnamese dong.

Meanwhile, Tran Quoc Khanh, a parent from Tam Hiep ward, shared: “Although public schools now offer free tuition, I still chose to send my child to Bui Thi Xuan School because the school employs a scientific and modern teaching approach, and students face less pressure from academics and exams, particularly without the need to 'chase' extra tutoring. In addition, the boarding program allows me to save time on midday pick-ups, while providing good conditions for meals, rest, and daily activities, all at a reasonable cost.”

The administration of Bui Thi Xuan School stated that: to ensure students’ learning experience is always attentive and safe, the school places special emphasis on food hygiene and safety, establishing a secure school canteen. A concrete testament to this effort is that for many years, the school’s canteen has been recognized by the Food Safety Sub-Department under the Dong Nai Department of Health as one of the exemplary school canteen models in the province.
