Trường Quốc tế Việt Úc (VAS) - Cơ sở Sala

Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.

What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: Primary (ages 5-11), Lower Secondary (ages 11-14), IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). Primary is the primary stage, ages 5 to 11: English, mathematics and science to Cambridge syllabuses. At the end of the stage a school may run the optional Checkpoint test, which is marked in Cambridge. Lower Secondary is the middle stage, ages 11 to 14, with the same optional Checkpoint test at the end. IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate. A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.

Vietnam Australia International School (VAS), in Vietnamese Trường Quốc tế Việt Úc, - a school system in Ho Chi Minh City; in the footer of the website stands the commercial Vietnam Australia International Education Corporation with registration 0303548370 of 26 February 2010. There are six sites, all in Ho Chi Minh City: Ba Thang Hai (2006), Hoang Van Thu (2011), Sunrise (2014), Garden Hills (2016), Sala (2018) and Riverside, whose year the website does not give; five of them have a preschool stage. The network calls them campuses rather than separate schools, and this is borne out by its own public report on the quality of education: it is published for one school, Trường Tiểu học, Trung học cơ sở và Trung học phổ thông Việt Úc, with a decision on its creation of 12 August 2008; the kindergarten stands as a separate entity. There are almost 8,000 pupils at the start of the 2026-2027 school year and more than 700 teachers. The website gives no year of foundation and writes of more than 20 years of work. As its owner the network names the Singaporean group XCL Education: the page with the message from the head is titled "Thông điệp từ XCL CEO", and its own news item gives XCL 17 schools and more than 20,000 pupils and lists XCL World Academy, XCL American Academy, REAL Schools, Sri KDU Schools and VAS. The TPG fund as the owner of XCL is named only in the meta description of that news item; it is not in the visible text of the pages. The programme: the Vietnamese state one and the Cambridge one in three lines (CAPI, CAP, CEP), IGCSE and AS/A Level. The network issues no accreditation of its own.

What this means for this school. The network owns or operates the school. Its accreditation and programme authorisation the school obtains separately, in its own name.
