Why the Cambridge International Programme is the top choice

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - According to Cambridge International Education, the number of students taking Cambridge academic exams in 2024 reached a record high, increasing by 7% to 13% compared to 2023, reflecting the global appeal of the Cambridge international education program.

Specifically, the number of exam registrations for 2024 increased by 7% for AS and A Level; 10% for IGCSE; 13% for Checkpoint Primary; and 9% for Checkpoint Secondary.

In Vietnam, the Vietnam Australia International School (VAS), with 21 years of establishment and development, is one of the first schools to introduce the Cambridge program, contributing to the formation of bilingual international education in the country.

To date, this is the most widely taught program in bilingual and monolingual international schools nationwide.

In a recent online admissions counseling session, VAS representatives shared the highlights of the Cambridge program and the school's international bilingual program.

Representatives from the Vietnam Australia International School (VAS) shared the outstanding advantages of the Cambridge International Program and the bilingual program at VAS.

Top 5 advantages of the Cambridge International Education Program

Ms. Nguyen Thu Ha - Vice Principal of the System and Ms. Eloise Briony Martin - Director of the Cambridge International Education Program at VAS shared the advantages of the Cambridge International Education Program and bilingual education at VAS.

According to VAS representatives, there are five reasons why parents trust the Cambridge program.

First, this is the most widely taught international education program, with over 10,000 Cambridge schools in more than 160 countries.

Secondly, the quality of the program and its outcomes are rigorously assessed according to global standards. To become a Cambridge school, institutions must undergo a strict accreditation process with criteria applied universally to over 10,000 Cambridge schools worldwide , and must also undergo annual re-accreditation. Teachers teaching the Cambridge program must also receive professional training and certification from Cambridge annually. Cambridge examinations are held simultaneously with the same test papers for Cambridge students worldwide.

Thirdly, Cambridge qualifications are globally recognized and permanent, accepted by most universities worldwide and welcomed by top universities with numerous scholarship policies and credit waivers for IGCSE and AS/A Level students with grades from C to A (Good to Excellent).

According to the Cambridge database, these qualifications are accepted at over 1,000 universities in the US (including all Ivy League schools); most universities in the UK, Australia, and Europe; 65 universities in Canada; 43 universities in Germany; and 22 universities in Vietnam. Most universities in the US and Canada have a credit transfer policy based on AS/A Level scores, allowing students to save up to one year on a four-year university program.

Fourth, the modern, rigorously designed academic program helps students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for the future. Students are comprehensively assessed not only through academic evaluations but also through experiential activities and projects that enhance practical skills, encourage critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.

Fifth, the subjects in the Cambridge program are diverse, up-to-date, and can meet all the learning needs, interests, and long-term academic goals of students.

Advantages of studying the Cambridge International Bilingual Program at VAS

With over 15 years of teaching experience, the Cambridge program at all 6 campuses is certified as a Cambridge International School, and with over 8,000 students currently enrolled, the bilingual education program at VAS has many outstanding advantages.

Mr. Lam Huu Thu - Executive Director of VAS Sunrise - Riverside campus cluster and Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Ha - Executive Director of VAS Ba Thang Hai - Hoang Van Thu campus cluster shared about the comprehensive development and student care program at VAS.
