Introduction

APU American International School – Da Nang offers a U.S.-licensed K–12 program at 299 Tran Dai Nghia Street in Ngu Hanh Son District, with both International and Bilingual tracks on one campus. The International Program follows a curriculum licensed by the U.S. Department of Education and aligned with Common Core standards, taught entirely in English. The Bilingual Program meets the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training requirements while integrating an American standard curriculum, with 12–18 English periods per week and instruction that uses the CALLA model to link English with other subjects. Facilities at the Da Nang campus include laboratories, music and drama spaces, IT rooms, library, cafeteria, and physical education areas. A distinctive feature is APU’s academic pathway: high-school students can take Advanced Placement (AP) courses and join the College Bridge Program to earn U.S. university credits while still at school, potentially shortening their degree by up to two years.

The Essentials

APU American International School - Da Nang has 500 pupils, typical class sizes of 12, instruction in English.

Location
APU American International School – Da Nang is located at 299 Trần Đại Nghĩa Street, Hòa Hải Ward, Ngũ Hành Sơn District, Da Nang City.

APU shares this education zone with The American University in Vietnam (AUV), which is situated at the same address. The school offers facilities such as science labs, arts spaces, IT rooms, a library, a cafeteria, and physical education areas.

Stages
The Da Nang campus offers programs from Preschool through Grade 12, divided into Preschool–Elementary (K–5) and Middle School–High School (Grades 6–12). Both the International Program and the Bilingual Program operate at this campus. The Bilingual Program outlines clear sections for Elementary, Middle School, and High School, each with specific academic goals.

Type
APU is a K–12 day school offering both International and Bilingual programs on the same campus. The Middle & High School tuition document confirms a dormitory/boarding option available for students who choose to stay in school accommodation. The school does not explicitly state whether it is co-educational on its public website.

Additional learning support
APU’s English-language webpages do not provide a formal description of Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, specialist staff, or learning-support facilities. The school offers English Language Development (ELD) for students requiring intensive English support, but no specific SEN framework is publicly described. Based on available information, APU does not publicly disclose details of SEN support.

Academics

APU American International School - Da Nang teaches Advanced Placement (AP), American Curriculum for students aged 3 to 18.

Curriculum
The Da Nang campus offers two pathways: the International Program and the Bilingual Program, both running from Preschool through Grade 12. The International Program follows a curriculum licensed by the US Department of Education and aligned with Common Core standards, taught fully in English across all grade levels. In the Bilingual Program, students study subjects required by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training alongside an American‐standard curriculum, with English integrated through the CALLA learning model and 12–18 English periods per week depending on stage. Middle and high school students have access to Advanced Placement (AP) courses and the College Bridge Program, which allows them to earn transferable US university credits while still in school.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Book a school visit or campus tour
Families are encouraged to arrange a visit through the school’s admissions page to see the Da Nang campus, meet the admissions team, and discuss program options. During the visit, parents can ask about the International and Bilingual Programs, fees, and English support pathways. This visit helps families understand whether APU’s academic structure and environment are a suitable match for their child.

2. Submit the application form and required documents
Parents complete APU’s online application form and submit the requested information to the Admissions Office. The school requires the English Proficiency Testing and Application Fee at this stage, which is non-refundable. The admissions team reviews the student’s documents to begin evaluating placement needs.

3. Attend the English placement test and interview
APU requires students to sit an English proficiency assessment, especially those entering higher grade levels or the International Program. This assessment helps determine whether the student will enter the English Language Development (ELD) program or join mainstream classes. Families may also meet admissions staff to discuss the child’s academic background and placement.

4. Receive an offer and confirm enrolment
If the application is approved, the school issues an enrolment offer. Parents confirm acceptance and proceed with the required Enrollment Fee and deposit, following the deadlines listed in the official tuition schedule. The student’s place is confirmed once payment and documentation are completed.

5. Pay tuition and prepare for the start of school
To finalise enrolment, families complete tuition payment under either the full-payment plan or the two-installment plan. Before school begins, parents arrange uniforms, transportation if needed, and meal plan options. The admissions and finance teams guide the remaining steps needed before the student begins classes.

Scholarships
APU does not publish detailed information about internal school-fee scholarships, such as eligibility criteria or application steps. The school’s website highlights a large scholarship initiative offered by its parent organisation for talented students in Da Nang and Quang Nam, but this is not described as a standard recurring school-fee scholarship process. APU also reports that its graduating students receive substantial university scholarships abroad, but these are awarded by universities—not by APU itself.
Therefore, based on available information, the school does not publicly disclose specific internal scholarship programmes or how they operate.

Waitlist
APU does not publicly describe a waitlist or pool system on its website.
