The American School in Vietnam (TAS) is located in a bustling enclave of Ho Chi Minh City', formerly part of District 2. . After ten years at the original campus in Thao Dien, in 2020, TAS moved to a new, state-of-the-art 30,000 sq. meter facility along a tributary of the Saigon River in Binh Trung ward. The school's current student population is approximately 550.
The mission of The American School, a private Early Childhood to Grade 12 college preparatory school, is to educate the whole child in a multicultural environment aligned with educational models in support of individualized pathways. We nurture individual abilities to produce creative, confident, and critical thinkers who are self-aware, socially conscious, and prepared for an ever-changing society.
The school provides the tools, opportunities, and human resources to inspire and promote inquiry and development of self-confidence. Students will be equipped to become leaders with inquiring minds through critical thinking, writing, reasoning, investigating, problem solving, and collaborative experiences. A strong partnership of motivated students and caring faculty and parents affirms and challenges each person within a dynamic American educational program enriched by a multicultural setting in Vietnam.
TAS promotes high standards of excellence by enhancing student learning for leadership in a global world.
