The ISHCMC-AA representative said that the training quality of ISHCMC-AA is also guaranteed by the international teaching staff with an average of more than 16 years of experience, with 70% having a Master's degree or higher. The teachers clearly understand the structure and requirements of AP subjects, the academic expectations of top universities, and regularly participate in global AP seminars and training courses to access valuable resources, providing students with in-depth knowledge.

Global learning environment for comprehensive development journey

ISHCMC-AA stands out with its multi-national student community, holistic development environment and personalized path. Each aspect contributes to nurturing students to integrate into the global university environment in the future.

In addition, students also participate in many soft skill development activities such as the Student Assistant program, Student Council, House Team Captain, professional sports teams, and self-organizing major events in the school, thereby becoming confident, independent, knowing how to manage time, solve problems and lead.
