The American School

The school is located at 06 Song Hanh Road, An Phu Ward (Binh Trung Ward), Thu Duc City (District 2), Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is conveniently placed beside the HCM–Long Thanh–Dau Giay Expressway, offering straightforward access from central districts while being in a quieter residential-area of the city.

TAS educates students from 18 months to Grade 12, divided into four main divisions:

Early Childhood Center (Pre-Nursery to Kindergarten, ages 18 months–5 years)
Elementary School (Grades 1–5)
Middle School (Grades 6–8)
High School (Grades 9–12, including Advanced Placement courses)

TAS is a co-educational day school.

TAS offers support for students with mild learning differences. Specialized teachers collaborate with classroom staff to adapt lessons and provide targeted help. Individualized Education Plans may be developed to meet specific student needs. The school advises families to discuss additional learning requirements during the admissions process to ensure appropriate support can be provided.

The school follows an American-style curriculum and is affiliated with the U.S. model of education, but it is an independent international school in Vietnam.

The school does not have any religious affiliations.

The school day runs from 7:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. for Early Childhood and Elementary students, and 7:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for Middle and High School students. Students have designated morning snack and lunch breaks, with meals served in the school cafeteria.

TAS provides a bus service that covers several residential areas across Ho Chi Minh City. Each route is supervised by trained bus monitors to ensure student safety, and attendance is checked during pick-up and drop-off. Families can register for transportation on a term basis, with route information and fees communicated directly to parents.
