Alaska International Primary and Secondary School

Guided by the principle "Together we go far," the school aims to cultivate an open, sustainable educational environment that prioritizes effectiveness, collaboration, and critical thinking. It seeks to nurture students who are independent, happy, and compassionate, while fostering a strong "Reading Culture" and a drive for excellence. The school emphasizes the importance of innovation and creativity, encouraging students to be active participants in their learning journey rather than passive recipients of knowledge.

The academic program is divided equally between the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) curriculum and an English-based curriculum. The English program incorporates American textbooks, focusing on Language Arts, Mathematics (Envision Maths), and Science, alongside the Cambridge Program using the Collins International Primary series. Additionally, the school offers a specialized Mathematics program developed by Prof. Dr. Le Anh Vinh and a Language-EQ program. Starting in grades 2 through 5, students also engage with the Level Up Through Digital Discoveries Curriculum (ICT Program), which covers topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Cybersecurity.

Students at Alaska Academy are encouraged to become autonomous, happy, and creative thinkers with strong critical thinking skills. The school reports high levels of student achievement, including success in international competitions such as the IKLC and IKSC, where students have earned gold medals. Graduates are prepared to engage with a diverse, open world of intellectual pursuits, supported by a curriculum that emphasizes both English and Vietnamese proficiency.

The school implements a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program, particularly for students in the Advanced Grade K system, to support psychological development and maturity. This program focuses on five core competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These lessons are taught by foreign teachers through interactive stories, games, and English-based discussions.

Alaska Academy manages admissions for its preschool and primary school divisions, with specific processes for pre-elementary and kindergarten entry. Prospective families are encouraged to contact the school via dedicated hotlines for the primary and secondary school or the preschool to receive enrollment information. The school utilizes the A-Nexus Educational Ecosystem, which includes a mobile app for parents to facilitate transparent communication and information flow.

The school operates on an annual academic calendar that includes major school events such as Sports Day, English Festivals, and seasonal celebrations like the Tet holiday and Halloween. The academic year typically begins in September, with various milestones and ceremonies, such as the New Team Member Induction Ceremony, held throughout the year.
