ICT Teacher

About our School
Hanoi Toronto School is truly a unique institution in Vietnam. Established in August 2022, it stands as the sole provider of international and integrated programs for Primary and Secondary levels (Grades 1-12) that align with the Ontario, Canada Curriculum.

In Canada, the Ontario Curriculum is widely recognized for its capability to assist every student in realizing their full potential through a structured learning program that is coherent, relevant, and appropriate for their age. It acknowledges the necessity for students to be critically literate, allowing them to synthesize information, make informed decisions, communicate effectively, and succeed in an ever-evolving global landscape. It is crucial for students to connect with the curriculum, recognizing themselves in what is taught, the methods employed, and how it relates to the broader world. The curriculum is designed to accommodate diverse learner needs, ensuring all students acquire the knowledge, skills, and perspectives required to become informed, productive, caring, responsible, and active citizens within their communities and the world at large.

Ontario has established curriculum frameworks, resources, and achievement standards in various subjects at both primary and secondary levels. The curriculum undergoes periodic revisions, developed in consultation with curriculum experts, parents, teachers, and other stakeholders. The Ontario Ministry of Education offers sample activities and assessment rubrics that align with the curriculum by grade and subject, enabling teachers to integrate activities and evaluations that directly adhere to the curriculum goals.

At HTS, this curriculum framework, comparable to other prominent global education systems, has been tailored to reflect both our international and Vietnamese contexts.
