In recent years, many parents have shown increasing interest in the Monolingual International School model – where the entire curriculum is delivered fully in English. This is an ideal choice for families who plan for their children to study abroad early on and wish for them to thrive in a truly global environment.

On August 15, 2025, The American School (TAS) successfully hosted its Opening Ceremony to welcome the new academic year, under the theme “Global Minds, One Future.” The event became a meaningful milestone as students, faculty and staff representing more than 20 nationalities proudly raised their countries’ flags – a symbolic moment that celebrated cultural diversity and the vibrant identity of the international education community in Ho Chi Minh City.

In today’s era of globalization, many international schools focus primarily on academic achievement. At The American School (TAS), beyond providing a world-class academic foundation, we emphasize developing essential skills for global integration and the confidence to thrive as global citizens. This unique approach empowers TAS students to step boldly into the world.
