The Dewey Schools - Cau Giay Campus

Senior students at the Cau Giay campus can follow several international routes. The school offers International Baccalaureate Middle Years and Diploma programmes, with admission to those routes requiring an interview in English, and it runs an Advanced Placement programme whose examinations are recognised for credit by most four-year universities in the United States. A United States high school diploma pathway is delivered with the partner school Mount Vernon, which also accredits and transfers the school's International Adventure and International Journey programmes. The school's English curriculum is aligned with the United States Common Core Standards.

The Cau Giay campus runs the school's full K-12 pathway across three divisions: Elementary (Grades 1-5), Middle (Grades 6-8) and High School (Grades 9-12). Admission is by year of birth: for the 2026-2027 year, primary places are for students born between 2016 and 2020. Middle and High School students, in Grades 6 to 12, also take part in the school's Adventure international programme. Tuition is published by division, rising from primary through lower secondary to upper secondary.

The school is built on John Dewey's idea that education is life itself rather than preparation for life, and it describes its purpose as equipping each generation with the knowledge and skills to keep pace with a changing world and to lead in ways that benefit their communities. Learning is organised around experience: students explore and then apply what they learn to everyday problems, following a path the school sums up as self-learning, self-cultivation and self-invention. Alongside results, the school says it works on character, responsibility and wellbeing, and it aims for graduates who are rounded individuals ready for university, work and life.

The school lists its own services as a pick-up and drop-off bus service charged by distance, meals (an optional breakfast plus a compulsory lunch and afternoon snack, billed separately from tuition), nutrition, a medical service, uniform, and educational psychology. Learning support and wellbeing are overseen by a dedicated advisor, and a University and Career Counselling Office guides senior students through applications in Vietnam and abroad. The school also runs a scholarship programme for new and continuing students.

The school states that more than 40 clubs are available, grouped into academic, sports, performing arts, language and life-skills strands. Sports offered include football, basketball, taekwondo, badminton, yoga and chess, and the school fields elementary football and basketball teams and a swimming team; survival swimming is taught in partnership with the Aqua-Tots Swim School. Performing arts clubs cover modern and Latin dance, drama, piano, guitar and vocal music, and there are clubs for coding, multimedia, journalism and communication, start-up and career orientation, and gardening. Students also take part in debating competitions, Model United Nations, robotics events and the World Scholar's Cup, and the school runs student-led projects, a student council and international summer camps.
