Grade 9 students prepare to take the grade 10 entrance exam
Do you need to be good at English?
Specifically, parent Cao Tan Phat (District 2, Ho Chi Minh City) asked: "If students study at a bilingual, international school, do they have to be good at English? In each lesson, the children will learn both Vietnamese and English? If their English is not good, will the school accept them?"
Ms. Le Thi My Hang, Vice Principal of Royal International Bilingual School, said that it is not necessary to be good at English to study at a bilingual or international school. "If you have a passion and want to develop your English skills, a bilingual or international school will be an environment that helps students significantly improve their English proficiency," Ms. Hang said.
In addition, the school will have a clear roadmap to improve each student's English proficiency. With a team of dedicated foreign teachers, they will support students in improving their English proficiency both inside and outside of class. Specifically, students will study 50% of the program prescribed by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnamese and 50% of the Cambridge program in English, according to Ms. Hang.
Ms. Le Thi My Hang, Vice Principal of Royal International Bilingual School, consults on the bilingual school model.
According to Master Cao Quang Tu, Director of Admissions at the Asian School system, being good at English is also an advantage and if your child is not good at it, parents need to find an international environment to develop their children's foreign language skills, which is a legitimate need.

At Asia International School, in addition to basic testing of academic performance, the school has an English proficiency assessment for all students to arrange the program and assign appropriate levels. The school will ensure that students have the confidence to study and always have teachers to support them outside of regular school hours to meet the competency requirements of the educational program.
With the above educational orientations, according to Mr. Tu, parents should not worry about their children's English ability. Instead, they should motivate them to develop their personal qualities and abilities in a modern educational environment.
What are the tuition fees and study conditions?
When choosing non-public schools, what parents are most concerned about is tuition fees. What are the tuition fees for international, co-educational, and bilingual schools and what kind of learning conditions and environment do students enjoy?
Master Cao Quang Tu said: "When advising parents, we always say that a student's learning path is not calculated in one year. When choosing to send their children to high school, parents must calculate the cost for 3 complete years so that students can study without interruption. If a child is studying in an international environment and changes to another environment, they may experience psychological shock."
According to Mr. Tu, the average tuition fee for grade 10 in the 2023-2024 school year at Asia International School is about more than 20 million VND/month, including the Vietnamese program, international program, extracurricular programs and weekend clubs...
Students at the Asian International School study from Monday to Friday, Saturday is reserved for club activities such as science research, art, sports... helping them develop their talents according to modern educational trends.
The Asian International School also builds specialized technology zones, located in the relaxation area outside the classroom at each campus for students to look up new knowledge, connect to the digital world , and relax after each class. In addition, the STEM Center system with a series of Lego Mindstorm EV3 models, Arduino circuits, Makeblock, Airblock, LewanSoul... is where students can freely explore, create, and experience artificial intelligence (AI) and robot programming.
In addition, Ms. Le Thi My Hang informed that each study program will have different tuition fees. Currently, Royal School has 2 study programs: international integration program and bilingual program, with an average tuition fee of 25 million/month. This tuition fee is considered appropriate in the segment of bilingual and international school systems.
Regarding the English program, students will study 20 English lessons/week with a team of foreign teachers with at least 2 years of international teaching experience. From there, they can be confident in their English ability to be ready to break through and integrate.
