Dear Parents,
I extend my warmest welcome to you as we embark on an exciting educational journey here at Anne Hill International School. It is a privilege to share with you the story of our school’s growth and vision.
My own journey in education spans over 25 years, both in Singapore and overseas. In 2015, I ventured to Vietnam with a dream: to establish Anne Hill Preschool. Since then, we have dedicated ourselves to creating a nurturing and inspiring environment for our young learners. Over the years, to further support them on their educational journey, we have expanded to include a Primary School, an afterschool Enrichment Centre, and soon a Secondary School.
At our Preschool campus, our students are at the heart of everything we do. We love our children, and we are committed to providing them with a holistic and joyful education, unlocking their full potential while fostering a love for learning. Most importantly, we believe that every child should not only learn but also enjoy every step of their educational journey through their childhood.
Today, I am delighted to introduce you to our thriving community that spans across multiple campuses. We are devoted to affordability without compromising quality, ensuring a safe and conducive environment for all students, parents, teachers, and staff. Together with my colleagues, I look forward to welcoming you and your child to our campus. It is the start of a fulfilling and enriching experience for all our young learners.
In kindness,
Anne Hill
