“I was nervous when transferring from a Vietnamese school to ISHCMC-AA since it was my first time at an international school. However, I was able to make some great friends and the one-on-one orientation really helped prepare me and my parents for life at ISHCMC-AA. I’m glad we were able to join the school when we did.”

Aurora International School Of The Arts’ educational philosophy is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. The school fosters life-long learning for children aged 12 months to years, supporting self-discovery, imagination and creativity.

We believe that children have the capacity for representing ideas and constructing knowledge in a variety of symbolic and graphic modes. We emphasise the importance of children’s symbolic language, conceptualised as the “100 languages”, where ideas and knowledge-building are expressed through many creative processes, such as speech, writing, drawing, painting, sculpture, construction, music, movement and shadow play.

‘Children are active protagonists of their growth and development processes as our core value at Aurora Ecosystem.’
