Starting from a small class for entrepreneurs in 1995, ILA has grown steadily to become the leading educational organization in Vietnam. By 2018, ILA had contributed to changing the future of 1 million students, opening the door to global knowledge integration.

With a system of 73 centers in major cities across the country, ILA offers a learning environment that meets international standards, is modern, friendly and inspiring.

ILA's team of more than 3,000 teachers and staff are always ready to accompany students on their journey to conquer knowledge, in which 100% of foreign teachers possess international teaching certificates such as TESOL and CELTA, demonstrating the commitment to continuously improve the quality of education.

ILA has helped more than 50,000 students achieve Cambridge certificates and accompanied more than 35,000 students to conquer the world's leading universities in the US, UK, Australia, Canada and Singapore. These achievements affirm the educational mark that ILA has spread over three decades.

From 2000-2005, ILA laid the foundation for a high-quality English training model with a team of native teachers and modern learning methods. In the period 2011-2018, ILA made its mark by expanding the system to 31 centers, pioneering the implementation of the ILA Beyond English model - a comprehensive English learning method.

In 2021, ILA cooperated with The Princeton Review, bringing the SAT test preparation program to Vietnam, opening up opportunities to access global education for the next generation of Vietnamese children.

ILA understands that being good at English is not enough, students need to develop comprehensive life skills, global thinking and problem-solving skills in a changing real-world context. By pioneering the transformation of the model from pure English teaching to integrated learning methods, ILA has a new direction in education: learning English to develop thinking.

ILA's curriculum is built on a competency framework, focusing on training essential skills:

Effective communication: Helps students confidently express ideas, persuade and convey views.

Critical thinking: Equip yourself with the ability to analyze and evaluate problems creatively and deeply.

Collaboration: Develop teamwork, communication and coordination skills in diverse environments.

Creativity and problem solving: Encourages finding innovative solutions to new challenges.

Technology knowledge: Helps students quickly grasp and master technology in the digital age.

Self-improvement : Students are trained in self-awareness and personal development.

ILA is constantly innovating and aspiring to spread sustainable educational values. Through the ILA Speak Up English talent and speech contest, thousands of students have demonstrated breakthrough thinking, proposed sustainable initiatives for fields such as education, health and technology, making a strong impression on the judges and the community.

Not only in the classroom, ILA also creates positive impacts on society through community programs with strong humanitarian values. From the bridges in Nam Tra My, to upgrading facilities for highland schools in Yen Minh, Ha Giang… each project carries a message of sharing and spreading love.

During 30 years of construction and development, ILA has become a companion of millions of Vietnamese families. Many parents, who were once students of ILA, now continue to entrust their children, creating a strong bond between generations. ILA opens the door to knowledge, accompanying each student on the journey to maturity, confidently stepping out into the world.

"Three decades - a journey filled with aspirations and solid marks. But for ILA, 30 years is not a stopping point but the beginning of a new journey, full of challenges and opportunities," emphasized the ILA representative.

With a solid foundation built from experience, constant innovation and the desire to spread knowledge, ILA is committed to continuing to open the door to the future, bringing comprehensive development opportunities to millions of Vietnamese students, continuing to help their dreams reach out to the world.
