Vingroup Launches VERTA International School to Prepare Students for the Age of AI

Vingroup has announced the establishment of VERTA International School, a new K-12 educational model designed for a generation growing up in an age when artificial intelligence is transforming how we learn, work, and create. The school, located at 148 Giang Vo, Hanoi, is scheduled to open in August 2027 and will accommodate approximately 800-1,000 students at full capacity. Admissions for the first academic year will begin in October 2026, welcoming around 400 students from Grades 1 to 11. This development matters because it signals a significant shift in education toward integrating AI and real-world application, potentially setting a precedent for schools worldwide.

VERTA is built on the philosophy "Learn. Make. Matter." The "Learn" principle focuses on building strong academic foundations in mathematics, science, languages, social studies, and the arts, with upper grades expanding to include AI and Advanced Computing, Engineering, Biomedical Science, Entrepreneurship, and Advanced Placement courses. "Make" emphasizes turning understanding into capability by having students create tangible outcomes through iterative processes of building, testing, and refinement. "Matter" encourages students to apply their capabilities to address meaningful problems and create value, connecting learning with the real world through Vingroup's wider ecosystem in higher education, research, healthcare, technology, industry, green mobility, and urban development.

Ms. Phan Ha Thuy, Chairwoman of VS Company, the Vingroup entity developing VERTA, said, "VERTA aims to equip students with the strong academic foundations needed to pursue demanding university pathways, while developing their ability to conduct research, reason, design and turn ideas into tangible outcomes; use AI and technology to extend their thinking; and tackle problems without predefined solutions. More importantly, by the time students leave VERTA, they should be able to learn new things independently, form their own judgments and take responsibility for their decisions." This approach could influence how education systems globally prepare students for an AI-driven future, emphasizing independent thinking and practical skills over rote memorization.

The school will be led by Dr. Tarek Razik, an international educator with over 35 years of experience, who previously led Jakarta Intercultural School and the International School of Beijing. VERTA's program will be taught in English following a U.S.-oriented educational approach, making it an attractive option for both Vietnamese and international families in Hanoi. As part of Vingroup's broader education portfolio, which includes Vinschool, Brighton College Vietnam, Vin Nexus Center, and VinUniversity, VERTA represents a strategic investment in human capital development. The implications extend beyond Hanoi: by pioneering an AI-integrated curriculum, VERTA could inspire similar models in other regions, potentially reshaping K-12 education to better align with future workforce demands.

This announcement, reported via Media OutReach Newswire, highlights a growing trend of integrating technology and real-world problem-solving into primary and secondary education. For Texas businesses and educators, VERTA's model underscores the importance of fostering AI literacy and entrepreneurial thinking from an early age, which could influence local talent pipelines and economic competitiveness. As AI continues to disrupt industries, schools like VERTA may serve as laboratories for developing the adaptable, creative workforce that economies like Texas will need in the coming decades.
