Experience at ISHCMC-AAVN

Felix Huynh, Class of 2023 alumni

I’m glad that I was fortunate to be able to study at ISHCMC – American Academy. Those years  enabled me to discover my passion in terms of both education and life. Through the AP (Advanced Placement) courses, I was able to earn university credits prior to entering university. My AP Calculus BC class and perfect exam score also helped me to skip the first-year Math 2A & 2B class required at UC Irvine. In addition, AP Physics and Computer Science helped me to define a fundamental interest in the fields of science and technology, in which I chose to pursue as an MIS major in university.

Mr. Duy – Khang’s Parent – Year 8

Khang has improved his English and overall grades since starting at ISHCMC-AA, I’m really proud of him! I’m glad to have the opportunity to meet with his teachers on a regular basis.

Ms. Chi – Annie’s Parent – Year 9

Annie just started at ISHCMC-AA this year and this was our first Parent-Teacher Conference together. She is much more confident today than the first day of school with her reading, writing and conversational skills.
