... it’s about finding a nurturing environment, a future-oriented path, and a supportive community that will help shape your child’s character and intellect. At The American School (TAS), a U.S.- accredited international school located in An Phu, Ho Chi Minh City, students are equipped with the confidence and skills to achieve international success, all while enjoying a balanced school life of learning and play.
A Strong Academic Foundation
One of the top concerns for parents when choosing an international school is the quality of education and the holistic development of their child. In the 2024–2025 academic year alone, TAS Grade 12 students earned over 30 scholarships with a total value of more than 2 million USD from world-renowned universities such as UC Berkeley, UC Davis, University of Toronto, Monash, University of Melbourne, RMIT, MICA, and Frankfurt School of Finance & Management (from the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Germany).
These impressive results are the product of TAS’s personalized American-standard curriculum, combined with long-term academic planning, dedicated international teachers, and a college counseling program that begins in Grade 9.
Ms. Khoa Thi, mother of Nguyen Thu Ky (Grade 12), shared: “When our daughter chose UC Berkeley in California, we knew the journey wouldn’t be easy. But the teachers always stood by her and supported her in achieving her dream.” Thu Ky was not only accepted to UC Berkeley, one of the most prestigious and competitive public universities in the U.S., but also received three additional scholarships worth over USD 200,000 from other American institutions.
Many Paths To Success
Harvard Professor Howard Gardner proved that intelligence is not limited to IQ or mathematical-logical abilities. Children can succeed in many different ways — through the arts, sports, social interaction, spatial reasoning, and more. TAS embraces this philosophy to create an inspiring, human-centered learning environment that helps every student unlock their potential.
Nick Q Tran (Tran Quang Duc), a 2015 TAS graduate and now one of Vietnam’s top sports KOLs, shared: “Sports have always been a part of my life, and it all started during my middle and high school years at TAS. I trained on the school courts, was selected for the national basketball team, and today, football is my full-time career. TAS gave me the discipline and passion to pursue professional sports, just like any other core subject like math or science.”
TAS's 25,000 m² campus in central District 2 features 100 modern classrooms, a library with 35,000 books, state-of-the-art science labs, a professional auditorium, and a full-scale sports complex with 2 soccer fields, 2 basketball courts, 2 swimming pools, a gym, and a boxing studio. Programs in arts, STEAM, sports, and soft skills are carefully designed to support students’ cognitive, physical, emotional, and creative growth.
Visionary Leadership And Trusted Partnership
Under the leadership of new CEO Van Xuan Thien, TAS has made significant strides in recent years - from upgrading its campus and modernizing the curriculum to attracting high-quality international educators and academic experts. “Our vision is to make TAS one of the top American-standard international schools in Vietnam - where students are inspired to learn, empowered to reach their full potential, and ready to become global citizens,” said the CEO.
At TAS, education is a collaborative journey between the school and families. Parents are seen as an essential part of each student’s academic path. The school promotes open, transparent communication and fosters trust in a multi-national, multi-cultural environment.
TAS offers not only a world-class education but also a financially reasonable choice. Tuition fees are only two-thirds of comparable international schools in Ho Chi Minh City. Currently, the school is offering up to VND 100 million in tuition discounts for 25 new students enrolling for the 2025–2026 academic year.
