Trusted by Thousands of Happy Parents

“I’m glad that I was fortunate to be able to study at ISHCMC – American Academy. Those years  enabled me to discover my passion in terms of both education and life. Through the AP (Advanced Placement) courses, I was able to earn university credits prior to entering university. My AP Calculus BC class and perfect exam score also helped me to skip the first-year Math 2A & 2B class required at UC Irvine. In addition, AP Physics and Computer Science helped me to define a fundamental interest in the fields of science and technology, in which I chose to pursue as an MIS major in university.”

Felix Huynh, Class of 2023 alumni

“I was nervous when transferring from a Vietnamese school to ISHCMC-AA since it was my first time at an international school. However, I was able to make some great friends and the one-on-one orientation really helped prepare me and my parents for life at ISHCMC-AA. I’m glad we were able to join the school when we did.”

Ashley Moc Nhien, grade 12

Khang has improved his English and overall grades since starting at ISHCMC-AA, I’m really proud of him! I’m glad to have the opportunity to meet with his teachers on a regular basis.
