Lyrics

With every step we take, we learn and thrive,
Skills and talents bloom, we feel alive.
Responsible and strong, we face each day,
Success in our hearts, we pave the way.

We aim for the stars, with knowledge as our guide,
Together we stand, with hearts open wide.
From the local to the global, we make our mark,
With Vinschool, we'll ignite the spark.

Dream big at Vinschool, where the future's in our hands,
Nurturing talents, in this vibrant land.
Together we'll grow, with a mission so true,
At Vinschool, there's nothing we can't do.

In the heart of Vietnam, there's a place so bright,
Where dreams take flight, under the starry light.
With a vision clear, reaching for the sky,
Vinschool's the name, where futures lie.

We aim for the stars, with knowledge as our guide,
Together we stand, with hearts open wide.
From the local to the global, we make our mark,
With Vinschool, we'll ignite the spark.

Dream big at Vinschool, where the future's in our hands,
Nurturing talents, in this vibrant land.
Together we'll grow, with a mission so true,
At Vinschool, there's nothing we can't do.

Bridge: International standards, reaching new heights,
With every challenge, we unite.
Building a community, that's strong and bright,
Vinschool's the place, where we shine the light.
