The school offers a boarding program with on-campus dormitories located within five minutes' walking distance from the school campus. Dorm parents provide supervision at all times, and dormitory students have a big brother or big sister appointed by the school. The dorm parents take quasi-parental responsibility for students in the house, particularly outside school hours. Dorms include lounges and kitchens, and each dorm bedroom houses 1–2 borders with queen-sized beds, dressers, wardrobes, end tables and desks.
APU American International Schools are governed by APU Educational Development Group. The Da Nang campus opened in 2015. Dr. Binh Thy Nguyen Tran serves as Chairperson and CEO of APU Educational Development Group.
APU American International School – Da Nang offers a U.S.-licensed K–12 program at 299 Tran Dai Nghia Street in Ngu Hanh Son District, with both International and Bilingual tracks on one campus. The International Program follows a curriculum licensed by the U.S. Department of Education and aligned with Common Core standards, taught entirely in English. The Bilingual Program meets the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training requirements while integrating an American standard curriculum, with 12–18 English periods per week and instruction that uses the CALLA model to link English with other subjects. Facilities at the Da Nang campus include laboratories, music and drama spaces, IT rooms, library, cafeteria, and physical education areas. A distinctive feature is APU’s academic pathway: high-school students can take Advanced Placement (AP) courses and join the College Bridge Program to earn U.S. university credits while still at school, potentially shortening their degree by up to two years.
