Curriculum
At the Secondary level, UTS emphasises students’ natural learning motivation and passion for knowledge. Carefully researched and optimised programmes help students cultivate a love for learning by combining foundational academic knowledge with engaging activities, practical skills, and diverse learning experiences. Students at UTS can choose between two learning pathways: International Pathway and Bilingual Pathway.
| Bilingual Pathway | International Pathway | |
|---|---|---|
| Core academic program | Vietnamese National Curriculum combined with U.S. academic standards. | Integration of the Oxford International Curriculum and the Vietnamese National Curriculum |
| Extracurricular program |
Students develop holistically through the “Beyond Learning” educational approach | |
The International Pathway is designed as an integrated programme that uses the Oxford International Curriculum (OIC) as the main academic framework while incorporating the Vietnamese National Curriculum.
Through this pathway, students develop global thinking, strong English proficiency, independent learning skills, and compassionate leadership qualities, preparing them for global integration and international university pathways.
