US Vietnam Talent International School System (UTS) has officially achieved full accreditation from the Council of International Schools (CIS), one of the world’s leading international education accreditation organizations, recognized for its rigorous standards in evaluating schools that meet global benchmarks. This milestone reaffirms UTS’s comprehensive educational quality and its long-standing commitment to sustainable development aligned with international standards. UTS officially achieves full CIS Accreditation CIS Accreditation – A Global Benchmark for Educational Quality and Transparency As parents increasingly seek international education opportunities within Vietnam, independent accreditations from globally recognized organizations have become an important measure of a school’s quality and transparency. Achieving CIS accreditation is not only a recognition of UTS’s continuous efforts, but also opens opportunities for students to access an internationally recognized education. CIS accreditation serves as evidence of the internationally benchmarked educational quality at UTS. The Council of International Schools (CIS) is an international organization dedicated to evaluating and accrediting schools worldwide, with a network of more than 1,300 schools across over 120 countries. It can be understood as a “global benchmark” that helps parents and students identify trustworthy educational environments. To receive CIS accreditation, a school must meet high standards in educational quality and undergo a multi-year evaluation process with rigorous reviews. Every essential aspect — from curriculum and teaching quality to student experience, school culture, and operational systems — is carefully assessed. The goal is to ensure that all elements of the school operate cohesively and meet international standards, creating a reliable, consistent, and student-centered learning environment. A comprehensive transformation journey toward international standards UTS’s journey toward CIS accreditation has been a persistent and meaningful process marked by many important milestones and the collective efforts of the entire school community. In August 2022, UTS officially became a member of CIS, marking the beginning of its

Building on the success of previous years, this year’s production offers a fresh perspective on familiar fairy tales. Moving beyond the traditional “happily ever after,” the play “Once Upon The Trial” invites the audience into a dramatic courtroom, where characters are brought face-to-face with truth, justice, and questions that have never been asked before. Through a blend of acting, music, and contemporary storytelling, the play promises a theatrical experience that is both emotionally engaging and thought-provoking. More than just a performance, it offers audiences an opportunity to reflect on familiar ideas such as “love,” “family,” and “happiness” from a deeper and more critical perspective.

When crucial evidence seems to have disappeared and the case falls into a dead end, the truth is unexpectedly brought to light, revealing a story that has long existed but has never truly been heard. The next case leads us to Rapunzel’s tower, where she spent eighteen years in captivity, mistaking it for care and protection. As
