APU International School - Middle & High School

APU is committed to providing a quality American education/experience in Vietnam. Our focus is on nurturing skills in communication, critical thinking and creativity. APU empowers self-directed learners in the areas of academic excellence, athletics, the arts and 21st century skills. Through a variety of academic pathways, we create internationally-minded global citizens. APU strives to develop positive, contributing members of the local and global community. As community members, students demonstrate concern, not only for their personal well-being but also for the well-being of others. Through problem-solving, empathy, altruism and community service, APU inspires students to become global leaders.

Since its inception in 2004, APU has continuously participated in the economic development of Vietnam by offering high-quality education to k-12 learners. We have created the Pathway to American Education, paved with high academic standards and quality faculty instruction.

APU has provided a pathway to US universities by delivering a quality American education in Vietnam. We offer a rigorous curriculum approved by the state of California. As one of the first in Vietnam to model this US approach toward learning, we continue to refine our model according to leading research. Please explore the links below to discover our approach and the unique opportunities offered by APU.

As APU students follow our pathway of dynamically updated curriculum, our supportive, competent and committed teachers assure that learners develop intellectual abilities, social skills, emotional strengths, environmental and global awareness, and lifelong skills.

Our focus on instructional quality has produced extraordinary results. APU graduates have “given back” by returning to Vietnam to assume positions of importance in business and technical industries or by continuing their US studies to pursue careers in pharmacy, business, public administration, and medicine.

APU American International School has received accreditation and membership certification from many leading international educational organizations. This reaffirms APU’s ongoing efforts and significant investment in improving training quality and APU’s international educational environment.

The faculty at our school seeks to provide students with a robust and diverse education through instruction in four core subjects—language arts, mathematics, science, and social science—as well as supplemental and peripheral subjects such as English as a Second Language (ESL) and computer science.

We believe

• Each student is unique, has distinctive learning styles and individual rates of development and require a variety of teaching strategies.
• Students learn best in an environment where leaders are prompt and prepared and that promotes care for others, acceptance of responsibility, where children are encouraged to work together and showing respect to others
• Students are challenged by a curriculum that is dynamic and responsive to the changing needs of society.
• Teachers and administrators are professionals who work continuously to upgrade their knowledge and engage in activities that enhance their effectiveness as educators.
• Teachers and administrators will seek to develop innovative and creative strategies that enhance the educational climate.
• School personnel, students, parents, and the community will work in partnership and demonstrate an active commitment to education.
