In the jubilant atmosphere of a series of events celebrating the 70th Anniversary of Hai Phong’s Liberation Day and the Red Flamboyant Festival 2025, the city proudly launched and inaugurated 12 key development projects on the afternoon of May 11, 2025. These projects hold significant value in social welfare and urban planning, enhancing local citizens’ quality of life. Among them, the inauguration of the Singapore International School (SIS) in Hai Phong shines as a beacon of knowledge, marking the city’s first international-standard educational institution. The event opened a gateway to global education for the younger generation of Hai Phong and underscored a powerful message: education is the foundation of sustainable urban development.
The inauguration ceremony was held on the school’s campus on Vo Nguyen Giap Street, Vinh Niem Ward, Le Chan District—one of the city’s most dynamic and rapidly developing areas. This is also one of the 12 strategic projects approved by the Hai Phong People’s Committee and was broadcast live by Hai Phong Television, amplifying the celebratory and emotional atmosphere across the city. Every drumbeat, floral tribute, and radiant smile contributed to an unforgettable moment—a moment of pride, a moment of new beginnings, and a strong commitment to development for the people of Hai Phong.
The ceremony was honored by the presence of Major General Vu Thanh Chuong, Director of Hai Phong City’s Police Department; Mr. Bui Van Kiem, Director of Hai Phong Department of Education and Training; along with representatives from various local departments, agencies, partners, distinguished guests, parents, and students of the school.
Representing the General Contractor, Central Construction Joint Stock Company, Executive Director Mr. Mai Chanh Thanh and Mr. Tran Dang Khoa were in attendance, expressing their pride in contributing to a project that stands as a symbol of Hai Phong’s strategic vision for education.
Developed by KinderWorld International Group, the Singapore International School in Hai Phong is situated on a prime 3-hectare plot. This is the city’s first large-scale integrated school campus, capable of accommodating 1,500 students from preschool through Grade 12. More than just a school, SIS Hai Phong has been designed as a holistic development environment where students can thrive intellectually, physically, and morally. It is a place where learners can access high-quality international education right in their homeland. The school aims to nurture a new generation of global citizens, contributing to the city’s high-caliber human resources.
In particular, the entire project adheres to sustainable development principles, with an architectural design that optimizes natural lighting, ventilation, and open space. Notably, SIS Hai Phong is the first educational institution in the city to receive the LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a prestigious recognition that affirms the commitment to building a sustainable future while protecting the environment and improving quality of life.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Ricky Tan, Chairman of KinderWorld International Group, stated:
“Hai Phong currently holds a highly favorable position to attract foreign direct investment, and KinderWorld strongly believes in the city’s growth prospects. The warm reception and proactive support from local authorities have instilled great confidence in the success of the Singapore International School in Le Chan, Hai Phong, as well as in our future projects in the city.”
Major General Vu Thanh Chuong, Director of Hai Phong City’s Police Department, also conveyed high expectations for the institution: “I believe that the Singapore International School will continue to grow, becoming a bright spot in Hai Phong’s education sector. It will help foster generations of outstanding students with creative thinking and international integration capabilities. At the same time, I hope the school will maintain high teaching standards, continuously innovate its educational methods, and create an advanced learning environment that helps students develop comprehensively in knowledge, skills, and moral character.”
As the Design & Build General Contractor, CENTRAL has stood side-by-side with the investor from the conceptual design phase to final construction. The team of engineers and technical experts at the project ensured compliance with international standards in terms of progress, quality, and safety—delivering a project that meets expectations, is aesthetically impressive in every detail, and is built to last for future generations of students.
SIS Hai Phong continues the series of educational projects implemented nationwide by Central, affirming the company’s pioneering role in creating value for the community through knowledge, sustainability, and global thinking.
On the occasion of Hai Phong’s 70 years of heroic development, the inauguration of the Singapore International School stands as a vivid testament to the city’s spirit of innovation and aspiration for sustainable progress. One school – one vision – one mission: to enhance the quality of life through knowledge and global integration.
With strategic foresight, professional investment, and the collaboration of reputable partners, SIS Hai Phong is set to be a nurturing ground for ambition, a launchpad for dreams, and a bridge connecting the youth of Hai Phong to the world through knowledge and compassion.
