Supporting Adolescents Through Puberty in a Compassionate International Environment

Middle School years are marked by emotional and psychological growth. At TAS, students are supported academically and emotionally through a balanced approach, including Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and advisor mentorship.

Understanding the Challenges of Puberty

Puberty—especially during Middle School—is a sensitive phase where students face significant changes in physical, emotional, and behavioral development. This is also the period when many parents struggle to connect with their children. For this reason, choosing an international school with a compassionate, student-centered support system is essential.

At The American School (TAS), Middle School students are not only nurtured academically through the American Common Core curriculum but also supported emotionally through the SEL (Social Emotional Learning) program. This integral element—found in many leading global schools—is implemented effectively at TAS in Ho Chi Minh City.

SEL at TAS: Emotionally Safe, Intellectually Strong

TAS integrates SEL into both academic classes and extracurricular activities. Students learn to identify their emotions, manage behavior, show empathy, and build healthy relationships. These values are especially important in today’s digital age, where peer pressure, academic stress, and social media challenges often impact adolescents’ well-being.

Every TAS student is assigned a dedicated advisor who follows them throughout the school year—not just as an academic guide, but also as a caring listener and counselor. This one-on-one relationship helps students navigate the emotional ups and downs of adolescence—something rarely done systematically at other international schools.

Continuity and Compassion in One Journey

Thanks to TAS’s seamless transition from Elementary to Middle School, student development is tracked continuously. Teachers and staff quickly detect behavioral or academic shifts and can respond with timely, personalized interventions.

TAS does more than teach—it nurtures. The school provides a balanced, understanding environment where students feel seen, accepted, and empowered to grow into their full potential. For parents seeking an international school that helps their children grow through puberty with confidence and care, TAS is a trusted choice.
