Canadian International School Vietnam Joins Novana as a NovaSchool

We’re pleased to welcome Canadian International School (https://cis.edu.vn/en) to Novana as a NovaSchool.

The Canadian International School (CIS) Vietnam has built a strong reputation for academic excellence and a vibrant student experience, with rich programs in arts, athletics, and global learning. Yet what stood out most in our conversations with the CIS team was not simply the school’s achievements — it was their mindset about improvement.

The focus was not on passing reviews, but on asking a deeper question: what can we improve next?

That perspective reflects something fundamental about school quality. Accreditation and external reviews are important milestones, but real quality is shaped through everyday decisions, ongoing reflection, and the way leadership teams continuously refine their practice.

That is exactly the spirit behind the NovaSchools network.

At Novana, we believe quality should not be something schools switch on during accreditation cycles. Instead, it should be visible, continuous, and embedded in how schools operate every day.

We’re grateful to the CIS leadership team for their trust and partnership as we begin this collaboration, and we look forward to working together to explore how technology can support schools in making quality a living, ongoing process rather than a periodic project.

As the NovaSchools network continues to grow across Asia, we’re excited to connect with school leaders who believe that school quality should be continuous, visible, and meaningful in daily practice.
