Speaking about the school's development direction at Eco Retreat, Le Tue Minh, general director of Innochain Education Investment Group and chairwoman of the Edison Inter-level School System, stated it aims to create a learning environment that respects emotions, encourages independent thinking, and nurtures creativity. The architecture draws inspiration from the humanistic philosophy and mosaic art of painter Antoni Gaudi, reminiscent of Park Guel in Barcelona.

The institution aims to transform learning spaces into part of the experience, where students can interact with nature and their surroundings. Lessons extend beyond classrooms to pathways, gardens, sports fields, and common areas, aligning with Eco Retreat's vision for a green educational urban area.

"Each student possesses creative energy. When designing the school, our highest criterion was to ignite that creativity in them", Minh said.

Nguyen Duc Canh, a representative of Ecopark's founder, stated the groundbreaking of the school during the initial phase of urban development reflects the vision of integrating education as a crucial part of living infrastructure.

"The project is not just an educational facility; it marks a milestone in forming a living ecosystem where people, nature, and social values coexist harmoniously", he said.

The school is situated in the Mua Le Hoi subdivision, at the entrance of Eco Retreat. This area serves as the urban area's central hub for services, education, and commerce. According to the master plan, it allocates significant land for education, meeting residents' demand for high-quality learning.
