History
HISTORY OF DES
Founded in 2007 with a team of just 5 teachers, Dong Co Non first started in a 3 storey building that was originally built to be used as an office. Despite such a rough start, DES started to invest and renovate the building so that it's suitable for teaching purposes. Various changes and improvement were made such as improved lighting, wall decoration and air conditioning system. All the rooms were equipped with modern visualiser and projection system in order to aid our teachers with their lessons.
From then on, DES started to grow, both in term of the number of students and staffs. Until the mid of 2011, we maintained 18 classes of 250 students in total. Our team of teachers consisted of 7 local teachers and 2 foreign teachers.
As the number of students was growing fast, DES felt the need to expand its facility to further improve its capacity as well as quality of education. In 2011, construction of the new language center began on the same ground of the first building. DES temporarily moved its operation into a primary school where DES rent classrooms in the evening for teaching purposes.
Six months later in December 2011, the construction finished. DES operation is now centered in a 6 story building that was specially designed as an education center. The building is equipped with 7 classrooms with toilet on every floor.
Till now, DES continues to grow, with a current student count of 550+ in 42 different classes, divided into 11 different levels. There are currently 14 local teachers, 3 foreign teachers and 6 administrative staffs working hand in hand with the students and their parents in order to bring out the best of our students.
