It all began in 2014, with a mother's heart filled with longing and love. She envisioned a school where children could soar freely like birds, where they could immerse themselves in nature, and most importantly, where they could be their authentic selves. A place where creativity knew no bounds, respect was paramount, and love was the guiding force.
Driven by this dream, the dedicated individuals at ME School came together to establish a chain of preschools united by a powerful mission: to empower children to unlock their minds, embrace their full potential, and discover their unique place in the world.
Our journey over the past decade has been one of continuous learning and exploration. We've drawn inspiration from renowned educational approaches such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf, immersing ourselves in their wisdom and adapting their principles to our Vietnamese context. Through years of observation and research, we've carefully studied the developmental stages of our children, always striving to refine and enhance the learning environment we provide.
This journey has not been without its challenges. We discovered that our greatest obstacle wasn't the children themselves, but rather facilitating a transformation within the community of adults surrounding them. We realized that beyond any specific educational method, the most crucial element in nurturing children is a supportive environment fostered by the adults in their lives – an environment built on love, understanding, and inner peace.
Today, our mission at ME School is clearer than ever: to cultivate a transformative community that nurtures children who are at peace with themselves, free to be, and free to act. With this mission as our compass, we are pioneering "Transformative Education" for the early childhood community, starting in 2023.

We've observed how captivated and delighted children are by elephants. Their immense size and gentle, calm demeanor spark a sense of awe and wonder. Elephants are known for their peaceful nature, which belies their powerful physique, creating a feeling of safety and approachability.
Elephants live in herds, and their strong family bonds are evident in their interactions. They are a symbol of the ultimate mother figure, with mothers always present, protective, and deeply connected to their young. This resonates deeply with children, offering a sense of familiarity and comfort. Elephants are also recognized for their remarkable intelligence and impressive memory. They are known for their empathy, care, and unwavering support for one another.
At ME School, we aspire for our children to embody the same qualities we admire in elephants. We envision them growing into strong, free-spirited individuals, developing their leadership potential with hearts full of love and compassion.
