Every year, the students from preschool 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.

Students studying the American International program cannot switch to the Vietnamese American Bilingual program.
International programs result in many advantages when studying abroad such as English proficiency, important learning skills such as presentation, critical and creative thinking or international mindset, as well as diverse pathways for higher education and career development after graduations.
Depending on the requirements of each country, students will need to take some supplement courses. However, the program follows the American program standards and the experiences of students who have studied and moved to study abroad, they can still transfer points and continue to study.
Especially graduates from Diploma programs like ADP with a diploma issued by Greenville High School, students can enhance their opportunities and scholarship competitiveness as American students when enrolling prestigious universities world wide. They might also not be required to take a Foundation term for basic learning skills.
