VAS was one of the first schools to introduce the Cambridge program alongside the Vietnamese national curriculum (MOET), contributing to the formation of bilingual international education in Vietnam. After more than 15 years, Cambridge has become the most widely taught program in bilingual and monolingual international schools nationwide.
It is the most prestigious and popular educational program globally, rigorously assessed for teaching quality and outcomes according to global standards. Its qualifications hold lifelong international validity and are highly regarded by the world's top universities.
