Located in District 11 at 286 Lanh Binh Thang Street, the campus serves students in Grades 6–12. Students follow a California-aligned program and can access Advanced Placement (AP) and College Bridge Program (CBP) courses, which allow them to earn US university credits while still in high school. A dedicated ELD (English Language Development) program supports learners who are new to English so they can integrate into mainstream classes, while required Vietnamese History, Geography, and Civics maintain strong local content. Student life includes clubs such as Football, Music, Math & Science, Charity, and Photography & Movie, alongside an active Student Council and structured community service that is required for graduation. Boarding, shuttle bus services, and on-campus counseling further support students’ daily life and future university pathways.
