At PennSchool, with its Active Teaching and Learning methods, too little or too many students will affect classroom efficiency. The School chooses the number of 24-28 students per class to easily deploy Group – Pair – Share activities in the classroom. A class can easily be divided into groups of 2, groups of 4, 6 or 7 students to discuss, or groups of students with similar levels to have different support strategies.
In addition, teachers can easily help students approach the lesson through technology application, inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, problem-based learning.

PennSchool uses the Northwest Education Association’s (NWEA) Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Growth assessment to track individual student growth during their time at the school.
Every year, the students from grade 1 to grade 8 will take this test to determine students’ instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year, and from year to year in the areas of mathematics, reading, language usage, and MAP for Primary Grades (MPG).
The MAP Growth test is widely used in many schools in the US, and many other international schools around the world, this is part of the school’s assessments. Students who transfer or study abroad can still bring their study records to submit to other schools in Vietnam or abroad.
Yes, you can. At the beginning of every academic year, parents will fill in the application form and students are required to take an Entrance Test for class classification.
Students studying the IAP Pathway cannot switch to the VAP Pathway.
International programs offer you many advantages when studying abroad. This includes English proficiency skills, important study skills such as effective presentation, critical thinking skills, creative thinking skills, and international thinking skills, along with a variety of choices for study and work after graduation.
Depending on the country’s requirements, students may need to take some additional courses. However, with the American curriculum standards and the experience of students who have studied and moved to live abroad, or merely study abroad, they can still transfer and continue their normal studies.
In particular, students graduating from ADP Pathway with a diploma issued by Greenville High School can increase their chances and ability to compete for scholarships on par with American students when applying to prestigious universities worldwide. Students also do not need to spend more time and money on the Foundation semester to become acquainted with advanced learning methods and skills in universities.

In addition, students can participate in many interesting subjects, such as Yearbook Journalism, Community Service, Engineering & Design – subjects that are common in American learning programs.
Students also have the chance to participate in the Advanced Placement program to accumulate college credits while still in high school.
