Beautiful stories written with effort, faith and perseverance at TH School Vinh

Stories are silently written every day – with dedication, faith and tireless perseverance. Each step on the journey of learning and growing up is not only a personal mark of each student, but also a testament to the power of aspiration, of a warm, loving heart and the effort to prove oneself, to become an outstanding person.

Overwhelmed with emotion – that's what everyone attending this year's graduation ceremony felt when they witnessed the moment Vo Gia Khiem, a 12th-grade student from TH School Vinh, embraced his father in a warm and secure hug, though not yet fully mature. His father is retired, his mother is a stay-at-home mom, and their family circumstances aren't particularly affluent. Khiem shared: "My parents have given me everything, providing me with the opportunity to study in a dream environment." Trying to ease the burden on his parents, Khiem worked hard and earned an 80% scholarship from TH School Vinh. Currently, this warm-hearted young man plans to study Marketing in Saigon. "My family can't afford for me to study abroad, so for now I'll study domestically and then strive to continue my studies or work overseas," Vo Gia Khiem shared. Not only did Khiem have access to an international education , but from grade 11 onwards, he had the opportunity to choose and study his favorite subject, Business, which helped him prepare with additional knowledge and skills, making his future career path much easier.

At TH School Vinh, there are many beautiful stories like this, stories written with effort, belief, and perseverance. Three years ago, twin brothers Nguyen Gia Khang and Nguyen Gia Phu (from Ho Chi Minh City) left the warm embrace of their parents for the first time to study at TH School in a completely unfamiliar land. At this year's graduation ceremony, confidently dressed in their high school gowns, Nguyen Gia Khang emotionally shared about his interesting experiences in Nghe An after three years of study, the feelings of attachment and nostalgia as he prepared to leave the school, teachers, friends, and the scorching hot land of Laos. From the early days when even the accent was unclear and the food unfamiliar, he has now truly become attached to and cherished this land. "Living and studying in a professional and loving environment, with teachers and friends always ready to encourage, motivate, and help me, I have overcome my inherent shyness, stepped out of my comfort zone, and can confidently present in front of a crowd, freely expressing my opinions, unlike before - when I didn't dare to voice any opinions in class, in front of friends, or in front of everyone."

Among the first graduating class of TH School Vinh, one can easily spot exceptionally bright faces. These include Nguyen Bui Tu Uyen, a female student who passed the entrance exam to Phan Boi Chau Specialized High School and has now received scholarships and acceptance letters from 8 American universities, including Purdue University – a top 100 university in the world ; Vu Sy Nam Anh – former President of the TH School Student Council, who won a 90% scholarship from VinUni University, worth nearly 3 billion VND; Luu Cong Tuan Kiet, who achieved a SAT score of 1520 – placing him in the top 1% globally, and secured an 80% scholarship from VinUni University and Fulbright University Vietnam; and Nguyen Thuy Gia Han, who won a 50% scholarship and is studying Medicine at Debrecen University (Hungary)…

Traveling a long distance from Australia to celebrate his younger brother's graduation, Ngo Duc Bao Ngoc, a former student of TH School Chua Boc, happily shared: "I'm from Nghi Xuan (Ha Tinh province). I passed the entrance exam for the specialized Math program at Vinh University's High School for the Gifted, but with my dream and plan to study abroad, I chose to study at TH School. Studying here, we get acquainted with an international learning environment; the learning style and teaching methods are almost identical to those abroad. So when I went to study in Australia, I didn't feel overwhelmed or need time to adapt, unlike students at other schools who sometimes take 1-2 years to get up to speed." Following in his older brother's footsteps, who now works at ACM Group (Australia), this year, his younger brother, Ngo Duc Minh Hoang, also won a 30% scholarship to study in Australia after a year of joint studies in Ho Chi Minh City.

Having the opportunity to study and experience an international standard boarding program at the Hoa Lac campus in Hanoi (a member of the Australian Boarding Schools Association), through a unique learning and training experience exclusively for TH School students, TH School Vinh students are equipped with essential skills such as: self-care, maintaining a scientific and planned lifestyle, developing independence, and confidently making important decisions for themselves and those around them.

A veteran journalist in Nghe An, three years ago, Mr. Vo Thanh Mai decided to enroll his son in TH School Vinh after researching the school, despite the relatively high tuition fees compared to his family's income. "My son is hyperactive, mischievous, and very addicted to games; my family alone feared we wouldn't be able to manage him. By enrolling him in TH School Vinh, he doesn't have to be far from home, he benefits from an advanced education, and most importantly, the school has done an excellent job of managing and training its students," Mr. Vo Thanh Mai sincerely explained.

At TH School Vinh, Mr. Vo Tran Nam Son's son is not allowed to bring his phone to class, and computers used for learning are also strictly controlled. During his experience with the international standard boarding program at the Hoa Lac campus in Hanoi, even on Sundays, he needs his parents' remote permission to go anywhere, and students are only allowed to use their phones for 30 minutes each day. With a curriculum almost entirely in English, Nam Son, who was initially just an average English student, has become one of the best English learners in his class after three years at TH School. He is mature, confident, and happily embarking on a new journey in his life.

Founded in 2016 by Labor Hero Thai Huong, TH School is committed to creating an integrated education that blends international excellence with traditional Vietnamese values. In 2022, TH School Vinh officially commenced operations, becoming the first school to bring the Cambridge International Secondary School program to Nghe An province. As the founder of the TH School system shared: "For the first time in this land rich in a tradition of academic excellence, students can 'eat at home, study near home, and earn international degrees,' developing their individual strengths in a stable environment filled with the love and care of their families. I always believe that a happy education will create happy people. And these people will be the ' golden generation ' – carrying within them the aspiration to serve and a solid foundation to build a strong and prosperous Vietnam."

Bidding farewell to the first graduating class of TH School Vinh, who are spreading their wings to fly to many new horizons, Mr. Daragh Walshe - the school's Vice-Director of Academics - said emotionally: "What makes me proud of this first generation of 12th-grade students is their love for knowledge and their strong spirit of effort. They always strive to find answers to difficult questions, never hesitating to ask for help from teachers and friends. I am very happy to have accompanied such an energetic generation of students!"
