The exclusive "locking-in" qualification of the Cambridge program
The Cambridgeeducation program is always highly appreciated in many countries with advanced education systems such as the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Germany... The outstanding advantage of the Cambridge program is the "key qualifications" at each level of education, including:
- Primary Checkpoint upon completion of Grade 5
- Secondary Checkpoint upon completion of Grade 8
- International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) upon completion of Year 10
- AS Level Certificate upon completion of Year 11
- Advanced A Level Certificate upon completion of Year 12
These "checkpoints" help students implement flexible study plans at each stage, such as changing study programs or studying abroad early from grade 9 with the Secondary Checkpoint High School Graduation Certificate. In particular, the checkpoint certificates from grade 10 onwards are the "powerful tickets" that bring students to scholarships and prestigious universities.
International students with Cambridge degrees and certificates have an advantage when applying to university
Most universities and colleges in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Singapore and over 650 leading universities in the US recognise IGCSE and AS/A Level qualifications. Many offer scholarships for IGCSE candidates to enter university preparation programmes, and early year credits are waived for AS/A Level candidates. This saves students time and money at university.
Before entering grades 11-12, it can be said that the IGCSE International General Secondary Education program is a quality and popular educational program in the world for students in grades 9-10. In Ho Chi Minh City, many schools do not teach the AS/A Level program for grades 11-12 but still choose the IGCSE program as a stepping stone before moving on to the IB International Baccalaureate program. Many international inter-level schools also teach the IGCSE program from grade 10 even though they did not teach the Cambridge program before.
Besides Math, English, Science, Cambridge general education program has many practical subjects that create a foundation for university level such as Economics , Business, Understanding global issues...
The school that teaches the Cambridge program from kindergarten to grade 12 is the Vietnam Australia International School (VAS), which is also the leading school in Vietnam in terms of the number of students taking the IGCSE exam each year. In the most recent school year, VAS students achieved outstanding scores compared to the world average score in the IGCSE exam in all 3 highest scoring brackets: 85% achieved Fair to Excellent (CA*), 66% achieved Good to Excellent (BA*), 42% achieved Excellent (AA*), in addition, 3 students achieved "Highest score in the world" (Math) and "Highest score in Vietnam" (Business and English as a second language).
Award ceremony for VAS students with excellent achievements in Cambridge international examinations
Currently, universities recruit university preparatory students based on the score of 5 subjects of the IGCSE program, such as the University of Melbourne (Australia) takes 19 points for 5 subjects, RMIT University takes 15 points for 5 subjects (equivalent to 5 C points). Although they all teach the IGCSE program, the quality and quantity of subjects taught by the schools will be different, for example, some bilingual schools are teaching 3 subjects of the IGCSE program, VAS is teaching 5-7 subjects.
A solid stepping stone from primary and secondary school
To achieve high results in the IGCSE program and be ready to study the AS/A Level program, VAS students are equipped with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills from kindergarten to grade 8, with 4 optional learning paths and two checkpoints: Primary Checkpoint and Secondary Checkpoint certificates in the international bilingual path (CAP) and fully international path (CAPI).
For students who do not have enough English skills or whose family's financial conditions are not suitable, they can start from the new basic English course (CEP Standard) with tuition fees from only 13,000,000 VND/month or the advanced English course (CEP Advanced).
VAS is the pioneer school to introduce the Cambridge general education program in Ho Chi Minh City from kindergarten to grade 12.
All foreign teachers teaching the Cambridge program at VAS come from the UK, US, Australia, etc. They have undergone a rigorous selection process and are trained and certified annually by the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE). Modern facilities and advanced equipment that meet the high standards of the Cambridge program at 6 VAS campuses also help students easily access the latest science and technology.
