14 Vinschool students top global rankings in Cambridge exams

These accomplishments reaffirm Vinschool’s standing as a leading educational institution in Vietnam.

Vinschool students once again demonstrated their academic prowess in this year's Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-Level exams, with seven Vinschool students achieved the 'Top in Vietnam' award, earning the highest scores nationwide in Computer Science, Combined Science, Art & Design, Business, Psychology, and Chemistry.

Furthermore, eight students were honoured with the 'Top in the World' award for achieving the highest scores globally in Cambridge exams, excelling in Mathematics and English as a second language.

These outstanding accomplishments in the 2024 IGCSE and AS/A-Level exams earned 14 Vinschool students–including one student who achieved dual awards–the prestigious 'Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards' from Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE).

"Achieving ‘Top in the World’ reflects our commitment to providing a globally competitive and academically rigorous curriculum," said Daniel Peter Scovell, vice principal of Vinschool Secondary and High School. "We foster a holistic, student-centred education that empowers learners to maximise their potential. By combining academic excellence with critical thinking, creativity, and lifelong learning, we prepare our students to excel in an interconnected world."

The 2024 Cambridge exam results marked a record-breaking year for Vinschool. Six out of seven IGCSE subjects saw an increase in A*/A rates compared to the previous year, with over 39 per cent of A-Level grades acheiving A*/A, reflecting a 5.5 per cent on-year increase. Vinschool also led the nation with 1,282 A*/A grades, and 142 students achieved perfect A*/A scores across all subjects, solidifying its reputation as Vietnam’s top-performing school in Cambridge exams.

"As a parent of two Vinschool students in the Cambridge programme, I am impressed by the teachers’ dedication and expertise," said Nguyen Hong Giang. "The personalised guidance and detailed feedback have helped my children grow more confident and develop the skills they need to succeed both academically and personally."

Boasting a robust academic foundation, Vinschool has seen 80 per cent of its students secure direct admission to the top universities in Vietnam and globally before graduation. More than one-third of 12th graders at Vinschool have been accepted to prestigious institutions such as the University of Cambridge, New York University, University of Brighton, York University, Toronto Metropolitan University, and Monash University. Nearly 40 per cent of these students received scholarships ranging from 30 per cent to full tuition.

"The Cambridge programme at Vinschool helped me align my studies with my career aspirations," said Ngo Phuong Ngan, a Vinschool alumna. She was awarded the Australian National University Chancellor’s Scholarship, along with several other prestigious scholarships, after achieving 'Top in Vietnam' honours for Mathematics and Computer Science at the A-Level exams and attaining perfect A* scores across all A-Level subjects last year.

The Cambridge International programme at Vinschool is considered a 'passport' to top universities worldwide. A-Level qualifications are recognised by all universities in the United Kingdom, over 850 institutions in the United States, and leading universities in Vietnam.

With the most diverse selection of Cambridge subjects in Vietnam, a team of internationally experienced teachers, and personalised one-on-one academic advising, Vinschool ensures its students are well-prepared to reach their full potential. At Vinschool, every student takes official Cambridge examinations administered by CAIE.
