University & scholarship success at ISHCMC-American Academy

The graduating class of 2021 continued the ongoing annual success of gaining impressive university placements and scholarships for students from ISHCMC-American Academy (ISHCMC-AA). This year the full faculty, from Head of School to every member of our teaching staff and administrators, were delighted to see another year of impressive results and acceptances to universities both in Vietnam and abroad.

 

Students graduating from ISHCMC-AA at the end of the 2020 – 2021 school year were collectively accepted to over 50 universities around the world and awarded more than 1,500,000 USD in scholarships!

 

These incredible achievements came about as the result of intensive study and hard work from every individual student, who set a goal to continue their education at a local or international university or college. The ISHCMC-AA educational program is able to assist these endeavours by providing effective teaching practices and support, which includes complete immersion in the English language and extensive University Counseling services.

 

Each year ISHCMC-AA encourages those students intending to further their education after high school, to apply to a maximum of ten colleges and universities worldwide. This approach ensures that every child undertakes important research and allows them to consider their options on a truly international basis.

 

SUPA & AP Programs

ISHCMC – American Academy is proud to be the only school in Vietnam to offer university level courses

through Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA) and Advanced Placement (AP), giving every student at the school an unparalleled competitive advantage.

These globally recognized programs offer early university credit and enable students to complete part of

their university education while in high school, saving both time and money in tertiary education.
