APU American International School – Da Nang is located at 299 Trần Đại Nghĩa Street, Hòa Hải Ward, Ngũ Hành Sơn District, Da Nang City. The campus sits in the southern part of the city, an area with growing residential and educational development. APU shares this education zone with The American University in Vietnam (AUV), which is situated at the same address. The school offers facilities such as science labs, arts spaces, IT rooms, a library, a cafeteria, and physical education areas.
The Da Nang campus offers programs from Preschool through Grade 12, divided into Preschool–Elementary (K–5) and Middle School–High School (Grades 6–12). Both the International Program and the Bilingual Program operate at this campus. The Bilingual Program outlines clear sections for Elementary, Middle School, and High School, each with specific academic goals.
APU is a K–12 day school offering both International and Bilingual programs on the same campus. The Middle & High School tuition document confirms a dormitory/boarding option available for students who choose to stay in school accommodation. The school does not explicitly state whether it is co-educational on its public website.
APU’s English-language webpages do not provide a formal description of Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, specialist staff, or learning-support facilities. The school offers English Language Development (ELD) for students requiring intensive English support, but no specific SEN framework is publicly described. Based on available information, APU does not publicly disclose details of SEN support.
APU follows a U.S. curriculum licensed by the U.S. Department of Education and aligned with Common Core standards. It is also authorised by the College Board to offer AP courses.
APU does not state any religious affiliation and presents itself as a non-religious institution.
APU does not publish detailed school-day start and end times on its website. The Enrollment Office, however, operates from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm for tours and inquiries. Families must contact the school directly for exact timetable details.
APU offers a school bus service for all K–12 students. Fees are billed per semester and calculated by distance ranges (e.g., 0–5 km, 5–8 km, 8–12 km, 12–20 km, over 20 km). Refunds are only available for a full unused semester with at least 10 days’ notice.

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.
