The Khmer cultural space at school is naturally formed in school life. The bustling sounds of pentatonic music, the graceful movements of coconut shell dance, Ramvong dance and many other folk art forms have become familiar images in activities, festivals and extracurricular activities. The performances are elaborately staged, with depth, reflecting the customs, beliefs and spiritual life of the Khmer people.

Teacher Ly Hoa Ly devotes much effort to teaching traditional dances to students.

The teaching staff plays an important role in preserving and teaching traditional arts. From each dance movement, beat to the story behind each art form, teachers help students understand that they are inheriting unique cultural values. Thanks to thorough investment, the school's art programs have won high prizes for many years in competitions at the commune, district and regional levels.

Teacher Tang Quoc Dat, a Khmer language teacher, shared: “Every written word, every dance, every drum beat carries a story about the origin and spiritual life of the Khmer people. When children are exposed to it from an early age, their love of culture will grow naturally.”
“Preserving culture is not something far away. The important thing is to form habits and a sense of appreciation in each student so that they can be proud to preserve their national identity,” said Ms. Le Hong Thanh, Vice Principal of Danh Thi Tuoi Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities.

The school regularly organizes internal performances, cultural exchanges, and traditional art competitions associated with Khmer festivals. Through these activities, students are trained in stage skills, increase their confidence, and gain a deeper understanding of the history, customs, and community spirit of their people. Many students share that participating in Ramvong dance or coconut shell dance helps them feel more clearly the softness and sophistication of traditional art.

The value of cultural space is not only shown through awards but also lies in the spread of awareness in students. From dance practice hours to community festivals, students gradually form a sense of pride, love and preservation of the values ​​left by their ancestors.

In the midst of modern life, when many traditional values ​​are at risk of being lost, the model of preserving Khmer culture at Danh Thi Tuoi Ethnic Boarding School - Secondary School is an effective way to contribute to preserving identity and enriching the spiritual life of the community. In this school, dance rhythms and pentatonic music still resound every day, as an affirmation that Khmer culture is not only preserved but is living and spreading in the hearts of the young generation.
