Explore the learning pathways at UTS

At UTS, students are guided toward holistic development through two carefully designed learning pathways aligned with international standards. Each pathway focuses on balancing academic knowledge, skills, and global integration, helping students grow in line with their abilities and future aspirations.

UTS offers two suitable learning pathways to help students get ready for the future

International Pathway 

The International Pathway at UTS integrates the Oxford International Curriculum (OIC) with the Vietnamese National Curriculum. With the Oxford International Curriculum from the United Kingdom serving as the main academic framework, this pathway aims to build a strong academic foundation from the early years and develop outstanding English proficiency.

From Grade 1 to Grade 8, students build a solid foundation in academic English, Mathematics, Science, Global Citizenship Skills Projects, Well-being, and Performing Arts through subjects delivered with an international orientation. This is an important stage where students become familiar with learning in English, while developing their ability to analyse, express opinions, and solve problems.

From Grade 9 to Grade 12, students continue their international academic pathway through globally recognised subjects and qualifications such as GCSEs and A-Levels. The International Pathway helps students gradually prepare for university and global learning environments.

Bilingual Pathway

Alongside the International Pathway, UTS offers a Bilingual Pathway based on the U.S. Common Core standards, integrated with the Vietnamese curriculum to ensure a balance between local academic foundations and international readiness.

From Grade 1 to Grade 9, students study in a bilingual environment with international subjects based on the Common Core standards, focusing on language development, mathematical thinking, science, reading comprehension, analysis, and problem-solving. This stage helps students build a balanced learning foundation between the Vietnamese curriculum and international academic standards.

From Grade 10 to Grade 12, students continue their international orientation through the Advanced Placement (AP) programme. Through university-level advanced subjects, the Bilingual Pathway helps students expand their academic capabilities, strengthen their learning profiles, and prepare for a wide range of post-secondary options.

Before the 2026–2027 academic year officially began, UTS teachers and staff came together for Professional Development Weeks 2026 – two weeks dedicated to learning, connecting, and preparing for the journey ahead.

UTS educators come together around a shared educational vision  Professional Development Weeks (PD Weeks) is an annual professional development programme at UTS, providing an opportunity for the entire team to reflect on achievements, update their knowledge, share experiences, and align on key priorities for the educational journey ahead. The programme began with a whole-school gathering that brought together the UTS community. During the event, educators who demonstrated dedication and made meaningful contributions throughout the 2025–2026 academic year were recognised for their efforts and impact in nurturing students’ talents.

What Is Project-Based Learning? Exploring a Modern Educational Approach at UTS

In the context of today’s constantly evolving education landscape, Project-Based Learning (PBL) has become one of the approaches adopted by many international schools to support students’ holistic development. At UTS International School of South America, students do not only acquire knowledge from textbooks, but also take part in real-world projects, actively explore ideas, and create their own learning products. So, what is project-based learning, and how is it applied to optimise students’ learning outcomes? This article will help parents and students better understand this learning model. What Is Project-Based Learning (PBL)? Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centred educational approach in which students actively explore, research, and solve real-world problems through learning projects. Instead of only learning theories, students combine knowledge with practical experiences to develop thinking skills, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities.. Project-Based Learning is becoming increasingly popular in modern education The 5-Step Cycle of a Learning Project (*) A learning project following the Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach is often implemented through a clear process, helping students gradually transform knowledge into practical products. Below are the key steps: Step 1: Identifying Ideas and Driving Questions Students begin with a real-world problem or a guiding question under the teacher’s guidance, then define the goals and scope of the project. Step 2: Planning and In-Depth Research Students divide tasks, search for information, analyse data, and develop a suitable implementation plan. This stage requires students to apply critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Step 3: Implementation, Testing, and Adjustment During the implementation process, students apply what they have learned, test their solutions, and improve their products based on feedback. Step 4: Completing the Practical Product Based on their ideas and research outcomes, students complete products that can be presented, applied, or shared with others. Students create practical models and products in each project Step 5:
