And now, that generation of students returns with a new role: as parents, taking their children on the journey that began right here.

Trustworthy delivery

When a former student holds his or her child's hand and walks through the doors of ILA, it is not just a return but a trust-filled entrustment.

It is also the memory awakened in the laughter of children, the love andeducational belief preserved and continued from generation to generation.

Heritage is not only present in tangible material values, but also exists in intangible things such as thinking, language, courage to commit and belief in knowledge.

Education is not simply about imparting knowledge, but a journey to nurture a spirit of lifelong learning, arousing curiosity, courage and awareness of an open world where every student can confidently step out and make a difference.

Three decades have passed, and many students who grew up at the center have returned. They appear in other roles: classroom teachers, brand ambassadors, or even parents who bring their children to follow in their footsteps.

They carry with them not only beautiful memories, but also the continuation of a belief - that the center is the place to sow aspirations, preserve the core values ​​of modern education, and spread it with their own lives.

Each return journey is an affirmation of the lasting vitality of the "educational heritage" that the center has cultivated - where knowledge is passed on not only through lectures, but also through inspiration, love and connection between generations.

When education becomes the bond

MC Tran Quoc Khanh is the first generation of ILA students. More than 20 years ago, when he was still a student with a dream of studying abroad, he came here to prepare his language and integration mindset.

"I didn't just learn English at the center. I learned how to think in English, how to present, debate and work in a global environment," he recalls.

Those skills not only helped him get into a study program in the US, but also helped him succeed in his current job, where language is not only a means, but also a bridge between culture and thinking.

Today, as a father himself, he continues to choose the center as the place where his daughter begins her journey of learning English.

"When many young people ask me: Do you have to study abroad to speak English fluently? I always answer that: it doesn't matter where you start, but where you start right. For me, that place is ILA".

Mr. Khanh shared: "Returning to the center is not just a choice, but a natural continuation, from learner to inspirer, from one generation to the next."

Minh Ha, a former student of the center from the first years in Ho Chi Minh City, also has a deep connection. As a former student of Smart Teens class, then a teaching assistant, the center was the first place where she learned how to speak English in front of a crowd and overcame her language insecurity during high school.

After many years, when she got married and had children, she quickly decided to send her daughter to study at ILA - the place where she dreamed, studied, and grew up.

"What makes me trust ILA is not just the curriculum or teachers, but the underlying values, such as confidence, critical thinking skills, progressive attitude... that my children will be inspired by," she shared.

Watching her daughter spell the English alphabet, she felt like she was 20 years ago sitting in her first class, opening up a new world with her first words.

The stories of Mr. Khanh, Ms. Ha and hundreds of other parents are weaving a deep bond between generations of students. ILA is not only a place to study, but also a place to return to, to trust, and to entrust dreams to continue.

Education is always the most invisible but valuable gift that parents can give their children, a gift that does not wear out over the years, but increases in value with each step of maturity.

And in that journey, ILA is proud to be a companion, not only imparting knowledge, but also inspiring life, learning and comprehensive development. Over the past thirty years, ILA has been silently extending the learning journey from generation to generation, so that each dream is not only nurtured, but also has a solid place to grow.
