HEI Schools has partnered with STH Holdings to develop its largest preschool campus in Southeast Asia, in Vietnam’s Thai Nguyen province. Scheduled to open in July 2027, the purpose-built setting is planned for up to 500 children aged one to six. Its bilingual programme will combine Vietnamese education requirements with a Finnish-inspired, play- based curriculum developed with expertise from the University of Helsinki. The project reflects growing demand for internationally influenced early years provision in northern Vietnam. Families should note that the opening date remains planned.

Launched in January 2026, the initiative builds outdoor exploration into everyday early years learning. The approach places physical activity, independence and child-led discovery alongside classroom experiences.
