My time working at Blue Sky Academy has been both enjoyable and exciting. The great

facilities provide a good foundation for learning. The school produces a positive

environment for the students to actively learn and enjoy the English language. I have the

opportunity to teach students of all ages. You are definitely valued here as an English

teacher which makes working at Blue Sky Academy a pleasure. This has been an

experience like no other; a job filled with fun, new encounters, and great memories.

Be part of a great team. Make a difference Working at Blue Sky Academy not only provides you the autonomy to teach creatively, but also an

opportunity to explore and immerse into the Vietnamese culture beyond the urban areas. As the school

is young and fast growing, you could play a key role in its foundation, culture, and development.

BSA is one of the nicest schools I have ever worked in. The staff are incredibly friendly,

helpful and welcoming, and have made me feel as though I am part of the family from

day one. I have been teaching at the school for nearly three months now, and it feels as

if I have been here for three years. In a good way, of course.

The children are great fun, friendly, hardworking and never fail to make me smile. As a

primary school teacher in England, I taught one age group for a year. Here, it is great

teaching the variety of ages every day and to see how far the children progress with

their learning and understanding of English throughout the year groups.

I have already made so many great memories, and I look forward to the rest of my time

here. I couldn't ask for a better school to be a part of!

I've been teaching here for nearly 4 years. I am proud that this is the cleanest and most

modern school in central Vietnam. The staff here are hardworking, professional and everyone

loves children.

BSA's children are very active, hardworking and fun. Teaching and talking to them everyday

make me happier. Seeing their progress in English is the greatest thing to me. I have learnt a

lot not only from my colleagues but also from my children.
