About us

Để có một ý tưởng vĩ đại, hãy có thật nhiều ý tưởng!

Thomas Alva Edison (1847 - 1931)

He was the person who brought the most creative inspiration in the history of the modern world. His whole life was associated with continuous creativity.

1.500 is the number of his patent.

1.093 patents are patented in the United States along with many patents in the UK, France, and Germany.

February 11th – Edison’s birth date has been chosen by the US Congress as National Inventor’s Day since 1983.
He is also a leading entrepreneur, a founder, and a successful builder of many companies, the most famous of which is a General Electric Company since 1890 and is still the leading Group in the United States, developing in many technology fields.

Naming the school EDISON expresses the founders’ dream and goals of an educational system that will:

Equip learners with a passion for learning and the creative capacity for life in a lifetime (INNOVATION FOR LIFE).
Apply skills, crystallize knowledge into practical results for life.
Like Edison’s General Electric, going back to the Industrial Revolution 2.0 and the Industrial Revolution 4.0, it is still going strong.

“If you want to have a great idea, have lots of ideas!” – Thomas Alva EDISON

“From the perspective of a founder and developer of SSG Group – one of the leading economic groups in Vietnam, operating in the most dynamic areas of the economy, I understand and want to share to parents and teachers, there is only one way for our children to develop in a constantly changing and developing globalized society, automation with Internet and artificial intelligence in every aspect of life – BE ALWAYS READY TO RECEIVE, LEARN, UPDATE NEW THINGS, BE CREATIVE WITH PASSION AND BE ALWAYS PERSISTENT . CREATIVITY IS THE MOTIVATION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF LIFE. “

“The happy life of a person is an endless source of inspiration and the highest goal for creativity. I believe that to educate creativity, teachers must first understand the most about students, about people and what makes people happy.
We choose the name of the inventor – the greatest entrepreneur of the 20th century – Thomas Edison not only because of his wonderful inventions but above all because of his creative spirit, perseverance and always searching for learning, his relentless labor to devote to a better, and more happiness life for people.

In Edison Schools, we believe that education only brings real meaning when it gives children a healthy heart, loves people, creates creativity for a happy life and brings happiness to others.”

“For me, education is an incredibly fascinating endeavor. It’s something we’re all engaged in from the moment we wake up until we fall asleep at the end of the day. It profoundly influences not just every individual, but also entire nations. I always hope and believe that Edison Schools will create an environment where childhood can be extended as much as possible. We aim to nurture young souls with curious eyes and eager hearts, encouraging them to explore the world around them. This aligns with the spirit of the great inventor Edison, after whom our school is proudly named.”

“You have to learn to walk before you can run”… Vietnamese people have paid attention to the word” Learn” since the past. From a technology perspective, I would like to contribute the intellectual power for a learning playground for Vietnamese children, help them become kind and happy people.”

“Twenty years of working in education gave me the opportunity to access educational models, learn and analyze many policies, meet and learn from many educational experts … And more than that, I have been listening to educational stories, inspiring by parents who always know what their children need, what they want in the way of learning and growing up.
Edison Schools is an opportunity for us – the founding members to share the same enthusiasm, inspiration, and desire to create an educational environment that can nurture Edison’s students’ longing for learning and creativity, confidence, and kindness in life.
Together, we will create an educational environment for children to grow not only in education but also by living, thinking independently and responsibly.”

Mission

Establish and develop an educational environment that harmonizes knowledge and humanities.
Direct learners to kindness, responsibility, creativity, adaptability, and lifelong learning aspirations.

Vision

With an advanced and comprehensive education program, Edison Schools is a safe school – a reliable educational address, leading the innovation and applying practical knowledge to life, contributing to the training of generations of students to be proactive, positive and ready to become responsible, creative and happy citizens.

Educational goals

In Edison Schools, students will be fully equipped with the core knowledge and necessary skills to be confident, brave, and healthy to create a successful and happy life, in an increasingly open but challenging and competitive world of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era.

Healthiness

In Edison Schools, students will be educated to become people who are full of vitality: having an abundant spiritual life, cultivating positive emotions, always following good directions … combined with a healthy, active physical body and lifestyle.

Creativity

In Edison Schools, advanced educational programs and methods will give students the key to success not only academically but also practically in life. Each student is facilitated to maximize their ability to acquire and apply knowledge appropriately and effectively. Students will be able to form independent thinking, proactive learning, and practical applications.

Passion

In Edison Schools, we are fully aware that the passion will help students nurture a desire to learn, explore endlessly not only in school but also on the journey of conquering life’s challenges. Not only limited in the arid knowledge, but passion also gives Edison students the energy to access science, music, art, sports …, to develop themselves holistically and be always balanced in life.

Openness

In Edison Schools, students will be educated with dedication and openness which make learners willing to head to something new, ready to acquire new knowledge. With an open mind and vision, our students will become individuals who are not only confident about themselves but also generous and tolerant of differences, know how to listen and share ideas, have high adaptability to a changeable life.

Responsibility

In Edison Schools, students are always given opportunities to learn, think, act, and grow. From their own experiences and the training and development of the necessary skills, our students will become individuals responsible for themselves, their families and the community: to respect values and traditions of the family, school and country; to empathize and to be willing to share; to have enough capacity and skills to be ready to shoulder leadership responsibilities.

Academic Year Message

Dear Teachers, Staff, and Beloved Students,

As we embark on a new academic year, it’s a time to set forth our vision and goals for the exciting journey ahead. So, what’s our inspiration for the 2023-2024 academic year?

After thoughtful consideration, our teachers have chosen a theme that encapsulates our future aspirations. Building on the foundation we’ve nurtured over the past five years, fueled by our enthusiasm, aspiration, and inspiration, we’re ready for the Edison community to redefine leadership – to be the best and lead the way!

Mrs Le Tue Minh togehter with othe teachers at Opening Ceremony of the Academic School Year 2023-2024 – the first Opening Cermony of Edison Campus An Khanh

As we move forward, Edison must continue to steadfastly develop and embrace the values that have been our cornerstone from the beginning, embodying the School of Liberating and Humanitarian values – E.D.I.S.O.N:

E for ENERGY: ENERGY
D for DIVERSITY: DIVERSITY
I for INNOVATION: INNOVATION
S for SMILE: SMILE
O for OPEN-MIND: OPEN HEART AND MIND
N for NURTURE: CARE – LOVE

In a VUCA world, filled with volatility and uncertainty, it’s these values, formed through lessons, activities, projects, and experiences, that will guide our teachers and students into the future. They are the bedrock of character and maturity, transcending scores or achievements. These values shape who we become, our happiness, our ability to bring joy to others, and our contributions to society.

As we step into the 2023-2024 academic year, I wish everyone good health, positive energy, joy, and happiness. To our students and teachers, may this year be filled with fresh energy, a love for life and people, proactive spirit, confidence, and the freedom to choose, act, and courageously pioneer. May you dare to dream, write, and live your own future stories. Together, let us redefine leadership.

Mrs Le Tue Minh – President of Edison Schools’ Council

Firstly, in the spirit of the inventor Edison, our namesake, Edison Schools, embracing the philosophy of “Innovation for Life,” will continue to uphold our reputation as a Pioneer School. Recognized as a National Innovative School at the Creative Teachers Forum organized by Microsoft and the Ministry of Education in the 2022-2023 academic year, we are steadfast in our commitment to innovation in education. We’re continuously updating our educational programs, restructuring activities, and incorporating new educational directions to meet the evolving needs of students and society. Our students, the Eddies and Eddas, will play a pivotal role in initiating and leading various school programs and clubs, with dedicated support from our teachers.

Secondly, in a world increasingly shaped by technology and AI, it’s imperative that our future Eddies & Eddas not only stay updated on the latest technologies but also grasp the essence of Human Innovation Technology – Technology for Human Happiness. We are focused on developing robust programs in IT, AI, STEAM, and Robotics, encompassing all aspects of school life, from management to teaching and learning. Our position as a leading STEAM school in the global community is cemented by our recognition as a “Global Model School of Microsoft,” among more than 400 educational institutions globally.

Lastly, in our interconnected world, Edison is set to expand as an International Integration School. We’ll be enhancing global learning and competition trends, participating in international contests in fields like English, Mathematics, Science, IT, and Debate. Notably, we’re launching the Australian Dual High School Program this academic year, providing numerous opportunities for studying abroad and global exchange programs for our students.
