Eduland Ba Vi – The Ideal Outdoor School Extracurricular Venue at the Start of the Academic Year

At the start of each new school year, after a long summer break, students need a special activity to reconnect with each other, with their teachers, and with the spirit of learning — not inside a familiar classroom, but out in cool, green nature, through vivid, hands-on experiences.

An outdoor extracurricular program at the beginning of the year is not just a day out — it is a comprehensive educational initiative: developing life skills, building individual capacity, inspiring a love of nature, and strengthening the collective spirit among every student.

Eduland Ba Vi — located in Lien Bu Village, Minh Quang Commune, Ba Vi District, Hanoi — has become one of the most trusted outdoor school extracurricular venues at the start of the academic year for primary schools, lower secondary schools, and upper secondary schools across Hanoi and surrounding provinces. Just 60 minutes from central Hanoi, Eduland offers a campus of over 3 hectares of pine forest and open green lawns, along with a full range of facilities — communal stilt houses, a large event hall, and an on-site restaurant — all within one seamless natural setting.

Why Do Outdoor Extracurricular Programs at the Start of the School Year Matter?

Modern education increasingly emphasizes expanding extracurricular programs, experiential activities outside the classroom, thematic workshops, and creative hands-on learning — in formats and durations appropriate to each school's real-world context.

Outdoor extracurricular activities deliver benefits that traditional classroom teaching simply cannot replicate:

• Real-world life skills development: Students gain practical experience, build self-reliance, curiosity, and the ability to work in teams

• Team bonding: Especially critical at the start of the year when students need to reconnect after summer or get to know new classmates

• Positive energy release: Physical activity outdoors helps students release energy and arrive at a mental state better suited for learning

• Connection with nature: In an increasingly urbanized environment, bringing students into nature is an irreplaceable educational value

A successful extracurricular program depends not only on the activities but also on choosing the right outdoor school extracurricular venue — one that offers sufficient space, facilities, and support to ensure the safety and quality of experience for every student.

Eduland Ba Vi satisfies all 8 criteria above — which is why this eco-education resort has become the trusted outdoor school extracurricular venue at the start of the academic year for schools across Hanoi and Northern Vietnam.

Eduland Ba Vi – Complete Facilities for School Extracurricular Programs

🌿 3-Hectare Green Campus – The Ultimate Outdoor Classroom

Over 3 hectares blanketed in ancient pine trees, wide-open green lawns, and natural garden areas — this is a vast "outdoor classroom" that no inner-city school can provide.

Eduland's campus is designed without large concrete surfaces — the entire space preserves the natural landscape of the Ba Vi hillside. Students can:

• Walk through the pine forest — observe the natural ecosystem in person

• Explore the fruit orchard — identify plants and learn about the environment

• Run and play freely on open green lawns — physical activity in clean, fresh air

• Capture memorable group photos against Eduland's many beautiful natural backdrops

The campus temperature is 3–5°C cooler than Hanoi in summer — students can participate in outdoor activities without being affected by city heat.

🏯 Communal Stilt Houses – Collective Accommodation With Cultural Character

Designed specifically for overnight extracurricular programs — one of the most impactful and memorable experiences students take away from a field trip.

Eduland's stilt house complex is built in traditional Muong ethnic architecture — wide wooden floors, breezy thatched roofs, shared open-air spaces connected directly to the natural surroundings:

An entire class or school group sleeping together in the stilt house — genuine collective living that no hotel room can replicate.

🏛️ 200-Seat Event Hall – Opening Ceremonies & Group Assemblies

• Screenings and presentations related to the program's educational theme

• Student talent performances — each class presenting a prepared act

For large-scale school extracurricular programs (100–200 students), Eduland's event hall accommodates the full group in one single assembly — no need to split into rotation groups.

🍽️ Huong Rung Restaurant – Group Meals With Local Ba Vi Specialties

Huong Rung (Forest Breeze) Restaurant, located within the resort grounds, serves full meals for the entire student group without staggered seatings. The menu is designed to suit school groups:

• Simple, nutritionally balanced options suitable for students of all ages

• Fresh, clean ingredients sourced from on-site gardens and local farmers

• Breakfast, lunch, and dinner service available according to program schedule

• Capacity to serve groups from 50 to 200+ students in one sitting
