What do Vietnam Australia International School fees for 2025 - 2026, starting from 123 million VND per year, include?

Many parents wonder why international school tuition is significantly higher than public school fees and what services are included in the cost. At Vietnam Australia International School (VAS), tuition for the 2025–2026 academic year starts from 123 million VND per year. So what does this tuition include, and why do international schools usually have higher fees? Below is a detailed overview of the tuition structure and services provided at VAS.

1. Why are Vietnam Australia International School fees usually higher than public schools?

It is common for international school tuition to be higher than tuition at public schools. Below are some of the main reasons that explain this difference.

1.1. Different types of expenses

One of the main reasons why VAS tuition is higher than public school tuition is that fees include multiple academic and student support services. Tuition at VAS includes expenses related to facilities, textbooks, software, equipment, library services, international examinations, and specialized educational programs. In addition, international schools also invest in teachers with strong professional qualifications and many years of teaching experience.

To support parents financially, VAS currently offers several tuition support policies, including:

• Early registration incentives
• Tuition discounts for siblings studying at VAS
• Financial support programs in partnership with banks

In addition, VAS also supports career orientation and study abroad consultation programs after graduation, helping students access international educational and career opportunities.

1.2. Modern educational technology

VAS is equipped with modern technology devices such as tablets, projectors, laptops, and educational software to support the learning process. These systems require significant investment and regular updates, which contribute to higher tuition costs.

This allows students to have opportunities to access modern learning tools and gain practical experience through technology-supported activities in different subjects and programs.

Modern technology equipment distinguishes international school fees from those of public institutions

1.3. International learning environment

To meet international education standards, VAS follows the requirements of the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) regarding facilities, learning environments, and educational services. These standards require schools to continuously invest in infrastructure, teaching quality, and student support services, which also contributes to higher tuition costs. 

1.4. International standard curriculum

At VAS, the Cambridge curriculum is integrated with the Vietnamese National Education Program to help students develop academic knowledge while staying connected to Vietnamese culture and values.

The curriculum focuses on developing important skills such as critical thinking, logical reasoning, research skills, communication, and independent learning. In classroom activities, students are encouraged to participate actively in lessons and learning projects.

Teachers at VAS regularly participate in professional development programs

1.5. Extracurricular activities

Extracurricular activities are an important part of the educational experience at VAS. These activities help students explore their interests, develop social skills, and improve confidence through practical experiences outside the classroom.

Some major extracurricular activities at VAS include:

• After-school clubs: VAS offers more than 20 clubs related to arts, sports, and technology, including Ballet, Piano, Painting, Basketball, Football, Robotics, Coding, and Swimming. These clubs are guided by teachers and external instructors with relevant experience.
• Annual school competitions: VAS organizes activities such as VAS Olympics, VAS’s Got Talent, and VAS Painting Contest to encourage students to participate in sports, arts, and creative activities.
• Field trips and experiential activities: Students have opportunities to visit farms, historical sites, and ecological areas to gain practical experience outside the classroom.
• Community and life skills activities: Programs such as VAS Talks and community projects help students improve communication skills, teamwork, and social awareness.

These activities support students’ academic, physical, and social development while helping them gain more practical learning experiences.

2. What do the Vietnam Australia International School fees include?

Below are the main fees that parents need to consider when enrolling students at VAS.

2.1. Enrollment fee

The enrollment fee is a charge related to student admission procedures and registration at the school. This fee is non-refundable if students transfer to another school after completing enrollment procedures. However, if students officially enroll and pay tuition, the enrollment fee will be deducted from the total tuition amount.

To support families with more than one child studying at VAS, the school currently offers several enrollment incentives, including:

• 15,000,000 VND Enrollment Scholarship per student for the second child onwards.
• Up to 5% Tuition Discount when paying the full year's tuition in one installment.
• Other Incentive Programs: Re-enrollment discounts, early bird incentives, and student referral programs.

2.2. Official tuition fee

The tuition fee is the main cost that parents consider when choosing an international school. At VAS, tuition fees are announced at the beginning of each academic year and vary depending on the student’s grade level and academic pathway.

VAS currently offers the following pathways:

• CEP Standard: Cambridge English Programme Standard.
• CEP Advanced: Cambridge English Programme Advanced.
• CAP: Cambridge Academic Programme.
• CAPI: Cambridge Academic Programme International (Fully Integrated).

Parents should review the tuition schedule and payment timelines carefully to plan expenses appropriately during the school year. In addition, VAS also provides tuition support policies and scholarships for eligible students and families.

2.3. School bus fee
