History & Values

About Us

Founded with Passion. Grown with Purpose.

The Vietnamese Language Center of Saigon is proud to be one of the earliest schools in Ho Chi Minh City dedicated to teaching Vietnamese to international learners. From day one, our mission has been clear: to provide high-quality, personalized instruction that brings both the language and culture of Vietnam to life.

Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of students – from travelers and expats to professionals, diplomats, and global organizations – build the confidence to communicate naturally in Vietnamese. We’ve also forged lasting partnerships with international institutions and local businesses, expanding our reach while staying true to our roots.

What drives our continued success? A deep commitment to constant improvement – in our teaching methods, course design, and learning environment – to ensure every student has the best possible experience.

Values

  • Nhiệt tâm – Zeal from the Heart
    To us, teaching is an art form. We believe true learning begins with passion – and our passionate teachers are the heart of everything we do. We nurture creativity, dedication, and joy in teaching, so that every lesson touches not just your mind, but also your heart. When language reaches the heart, progress comes naturally.
  • Commitment to Excellence
    We are deeply committed to helping each student succeed. That means continually developing better curricula, innovating more effective teaching methods, and maintaining a warm, supportive environment. We blend passion with professionalism – always with the learner in focus.
  • Stewardship & Growth
    At VLC, we work together to carry forward the founder’s vision – creating a school that grows, evolves, and inspires. Our teachers take initiative to sharpen their skills, while our supportive team creates a positive, collaborative atmosphere. Behind every class is an academic department that equips teachers with high-quality materials, thoughtful guidance, and meaningful activities to help students thrive.
