APC DN offers a dual curriculum with students taking the national Vietnamese academic program alongside a tiered English language program based on proficiency level (not grade level).

In just 4 years, APC DN has quickly grown to over 330 students (K – 9 classes, Primary – 8 classes, Lower secondary – 5 classes) and will soon be opening a brand new kindergarten school building in late 2014. The primary and high school campus building was built last year and currently holds 14 comfortable, air-conditioned classrooms equipped with computers, Internet, and projectors. There are two swimming pools, tennis courts, mini-basketball courts, a football field outfitted in astro-turf, an indoor performance hall, and a play yard for our little ones in order to best serve the recreational, leisure and fitness needs of our students and staff.
