Phu Quoc Gets Its First Premium School (2026)

What Is Meyschool Doan Thi Diem Phu Quoc?

Meyschool Doan Thi Diem is the first premium K-8 school on Phu Quoc Island, opening in 2026 within the Meyhomes Capital urban development in An Thoi, south Phu Quoc. Built on a 1.5-hectare campus with an investment of 250 billion VND, the school features 60 classrooms and functional rooms designed to serve up to 1,500 students. It is a partnership between MeyGroup (part of Tan A Dai Thanh Corporation) and the Doan Thi Diem school system from Hanoi — one of Vietnam’s most respected educational brands with over 30 years of experience, honored as a “Labor Hero” in 2026. The school offers Grades 1-8 with a curriculum combining the Vietnamese Ministry of Education program with enhanced English, STEM, technology, and life skills training, plus a dedicated pre-primary preparation program for the 2026-2027 academic year.

For an island that has added world-class resorts, an international airport, a JCI-accredited hospital, and now a light rail system, a premium school is the missing piece that signals Phu Quoc’s transition from tourist destination to liveable island city.

School Details at a Glance

Curriculum and Approach

The school follows a dual-track educational model:

Vietnamese National Curriculum

All students follow the Ministry of Education and Training’s standard program, ensuring nationally recognized qualifications and transferability to any school in Vietnam.

Enhanced Program

Layered on top of the national curriculum:

• English — intensive English language instruction from Grade 1
• STEM — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics projects
• Technology — digital literacy and computational thinking
• Life skills — critical thinking, communication, teamwork, and global citizenship

Extracurricular Activities

The school develops a full ecosystem beyond academics:

• Arts clubs (music, visual arts, drama)
• Sports programs
• Science clubs and labs
• Life skills workshops
• Monthly themed events and experiential learning projects
• Practical learning projects connecting classroom knowledge to real-world applications

Scholarships and Enrollment

Meyschool is offering significant financial support to attract the island’s first cohort:

These scholarships signal a strategic play — Meyschool wants to establish itself quickly as the island’s go-to school by making the first year accessible to as many families as possible. Once reputation is built, standard pricing applies.

Why This Matters Beyond Education

A school is not just about education. On an island transforming as fast as Phu Quoc, it is an infrastructure signal with ripple effects:

For Expat Families and Long-Stay Visitors

Until now, the biggest barrier to living on Phu Quoc long-term — or visiting for extended dental treatment trips with children — was the lack of quality schooling. International families had two options: homeschool, or don’t bring the kids. Meyschool changes that.

For Phu Quoc’s Healthcare Ecosystem

Schools attract families. Families need healthcare. Healthcare investment follows population growth. The cycle reinforces itself. Meyschool’s opening adds to the momentum that has already brought Vinmec International Hospital, Sun International Hospital, and advanced ICU capabilities to the island.

For Property and Tourism Investment

A premium school in the Meyhomes Capital development anchors south Phu Quoc as a residential community, not just a resort zone. This drives sustained investment in the area around Vinh Dam Bay and the APEC corridor.

What This Means for Dental Tourists

Dental tourism trips to Phu Quoc typically last 5-14 days, depending on the procedure. For patients traveling with families, the island’s family-friendliness matters:

Traveling with Children

Parents scheduling dental implants, veneers, or All-on-4 procedures can now consider Phu Quoc knowing that organized educational and activity programs exist for children. While you are at Tri Hao Dental for your appointment, your child has structured activities available.

Extended Stay Dental Trips

Some procedures — particularly staged implants requiring osseointegration — benefit from longer stays on the island. For families considering a 2-4 week dental + holiday combination, having a school with day programs removes a major logistical barrier.

Family-Friendly Island Scorecard

Phu Quoc has quietly assembled the full set of family infrastructure that most island destinations lack. For dental tourists comparing Phu Quoc to Bangkok or Da Nang, the island’s family-friendly ecosystem is an underappreciated advantage.

The Doan Thi Diem Brand

Meyschool is not an unknown startup school. Its educational partner, Doan Thi Diem, is one of Vietnam’s most established private school systems:

• Founded: Over 30 years ago in Hanoi
• Recognition: Honored as a “Labor Hero” by the Vietnamese government in 2026
• Track record: Thousands of graduates, many proceeding to top Vietnamese and international universities
• Teaching philosophy: Student-centered, emphasizing both academic achievement and personal development

The partnership with MeyGroup (Tan A Dai Thanh Corporation) provides the capital and campus, while Doan Thi Diem provides the educational methodology, teacher training, and curriculum expertise. Faculty at the Phu Quoc campus are trained through the Doan Thi Diem Hanoi system.

The Bottom Line

Phu Quoc now has a premium school — a 250-billion-VND campus backed by one of Vietnam’s most respected education brands. For the island, this is the final piece in a transformation from beach resort to liveable international destination. For dental tourists traveling with families, it means one less reason to hesitate. Your kids have organized activities while you get your implants at Tri Hao Dental or veneers at Phu Quoc Luxury Dental. Phu Quoc is not just a place to get cheap dental work anymore — it is a place where families can comfortably spend two weeks while saving thousands on dental care.
