High School VASers Discover the Coastal City of Nha Trang Through the Lens of Local Culture

Learning through real-life experiences is one of VAS’s core educational orientations. The 3-day, 2-night trip combining travel and teambuilding in Nha Trang in early 2026 offered VASers in Grades 10, 11, and 12 a clearer understanding of the South Central Coast region. The journey also helped students strengthen soft skills and unwind after an intensive period of study.

Students were excited to admire the theatre’s unique architecture inspired by traditional Vietnamese fishing tools. Here, they enjoyed the performance “Rối Mơ,” an artistic work that reimagines folk puppetry through the language of contemporary theatre. The harmonious blend of tradition and modern technology left deep emotions and lasting impressions on VASers.
