Highlights
IELTS is integrated into our curriculum to help students build the language skills needed for higher education and international opportunities. As part of
their preparation, students are taken to the testing center in Vientiane to complete the official IELTS exam.
Our school offers secondary students the opportunity to join enriching field trips to Savannakhet, Khammouane, Champasak, Thailand, and Vietnam.
