Our Story

The Learning Home opened its doors in 2018 and was established by Emma and Joeli Ravai.

Both founders are fully qualified teachers who had over 30 years of UK teaching experience between them before boarding the plane to Vietnam in 2014.

Like many people before them, they fell in love with Da Nang and were determined to stay, regardless of having two children, aged 5 and 3. During the settling-in period, it became clear there was a lack of schooling options for foreign children. As a result, they made the natural decision to home-school.

While valuing the importance of a strict routine and wanting to create a friendship group for their children, more and more families in the same situation started to enquire and join the group.

As a result, Emma and Joeli started working with the City Education Department of Da Nang and were able to satisfy all legal requirements. Then, in September 2018, the local authorities granted the licence, and the centre has been growing and serving the community ever since.
