As part of KinderWorld’s complete approach to education, an Outward Bound school in Vietnam aims to develop personal character in youths through adventure and challenge in an educational process based on action and reflection.

As a member of Outward Bound International, Outward Bound Vietnam endeavours to inspire social, community and environmental responsibilities in youths through holistic learning and development while adhering to the highest educational and safety standards of the Outward Bound Schools network.

Outward Bound Vietnam will form a collaborative partnership with Outward Bound Singapore and in so doing, will share knowledge and expertise and exchange of students / participants between the two schools.
