Thuy Bui

Year Appointed:

House Armstrong

Mrs. Bui brings nearly a decade of teaching experience and a passion for early childhood education to IST. Originally from Sydney, Australia, she earned a Bachelor of Education from The University of Sydney. Before becoming a teacher, her work in public relations, event management, and as a nanny and tutor helped shape her strong communication skills and deep appreciation for partnering with families.

Mrs. Bui is a passionate advocate for social-emotional development in the early years, believing that children learn best through play, sensory exploration, and secure, nurturing relationships. Guided by the IB philosophy, she is committed to creating a classroom where kindness, connection, and curiosity help children build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning.

Outside of school, Mrs. Bui enjoys watching movies, reading, and sharing dinners with friends. One of her favorite parts of teaching at IST is witnessing the joy, wonder, and excitement her students bring to learning each day. She believes, as Aristotle wrote, that “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
