Accreditation

Its logo on a school’s website can help attract quality staff and leadership, which in turn can stimulate a positively reinforcing cycle of school improvement even after membership is earned. Membership is reassessed regularly to ensure that standards observed during the entry assessment are maintained over the long term.

In 2019, Green Shoots became the first CIS school in central Vietnam and at the time one of only 16 in the country. Acceptance into the group, which oversees standards at 740 schools and 600 universities in over 120 countries, followed a visit by a CIS evaluator who spoke to students, staff and parents and studied our policies, procedures, and systems. 

Memberships of this highly respected global group of schools gives Green Shoots families:

• Assurance of high standards in both education and child welfare and safety
• Smooth entry into other schools (international or national) and into the world’s best universities, as it’s name is synonymous with quality
• A promise that internationalism is at the core or learning
