For Vietnamese students, it is a place where they can learn English at a faster pace as they study the Vietnamese curriculum in English. That way, they will graduate with a diploma with which they can attend universities in Vietnam. Of course, studying abroad is another available option. Students from other countries will find their instruction to be fully in English. Not only will they sharpen their skills in English and other subjects, but also they will be prepared for International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and A - level exams as they move towards graduation. |
