The ISHCMC-American Academy educational program is a guaranteed, viable and tested curriculum that ensures every parent can feel assured that their children are in safe hands.
When any parent or guardian looks to enroll a child in school, there are surely two main concerns that come to mind: that the child will be happy attending the school, and that the school will ensure the child receives a positive education.
At ISHCMC-American Academy we can promise that every student in our care will encounter a positive, caring and engaged learning experience within our school community. We are also extremely proud to have realized our vision to become one of the most academically successful American international schools in Asia.
These circumstances have been achieved by implementing both a highly qualified and dedicated team of teachers, and a viable and tested school curriculum at ISHCMC-AA.
We are able to set the foundation for success for each student with a rigorous academic program that follows American accreditation standards from age 11. Most crucially this curriculum is designed to be flexible and responsive to the abilities and aspirations of each individual student.
All classes are taught in English except for an extensive Vietnamese Studies Program that ensures Vietnamese students can maintain their Mother Tongue, whilst non-Vietnamese students can learn Mandarin as a second language.
ISHCMC-American Academy is the only school in Vietnam to offer university-level courses through both Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA) and Advanced Placement (AP). These programs, supported by our University Counseling program, offer your child an unparalleled advantage to attend higher education in Vietnam, America or elsewhere abroad.
Above excellence in academic subjects, our inspiring curriculum allows us to empower students to realize their potential in other areas including the arts, sports, music and technology.
