OVERVIEW

EMASI is a group of international bilingual schools with American standard facilities that delivers Vietnamese national curriculum and the internationally esteemed Cambridge curriculum, adopting modern teaching methods from developed countries. 

EMASI Schools have eco-friendly campuses located in the hearts of the Van Phuc residential area, in Thu Duc District and the Nam Long residential area of District 7 in Ho Chi Minh City.

Both Vietnamese and English are used in the schools. This reflects our clear goal that students will master the Vietnamese language and become as proficient in English as native speakers.
