  "account": "Hanoi, Vietnam - The Vingroup company has announced the creation of VERTA International School, an innovative K-12 educational model designed for the AI-driven future. Rooted in the U.S.-based Learn. Make. Matter philosophy, VERTA aims to foster students with robust academic foundations, independent thinking, and the capability to leverage AI and technology to solve problems and create value.\n\nThe school, situated at 148 Giang Vo, Hanoi, will accommodate roughly 800-1,000 students and commence operations in August 2027. Expectations are high for the inaugural academic year, which will welcome around 400 students from Grades 1 to 11. VERTA, jointly developed by Vingroup, Vinschool, Brighton College Vietnam, Vin Nexus Center, and VinUniversity, will enroll students from both Vietnamese and international backgrounds.\n\nAdmissions for the first year will begin in October 2026. The educational philosophy of VERTA is encapsulated in three guiding principles: LEARN, MAKE, and MATTER. Students will focus on building a strong knowledge base to foster independent thinking, applying their understanding to create tangible outcomes using AI and advanced technology, and ultimately applying their skills to make a meaningful impact in the world.\n\nVRTA's curriculum is comprehensive, covering core subjects like mathematics, science, languages, and social studies, with special emphasis on AI and Advanced Computing, Engineering, Biomedical Science, and Entrepreneurship. The approach is interdisciplinary, enabling students to connect knowledge across various fields and tackle problems with increased independence and ownership.\n\nDr. Tarek Razik, a seasoned international educator with over 35 years of experience, will helm VERTA. With a focus on academic rigor, AI technology, and real-world application, VERTA offers an alternative educational path for Vietnamese students and families, as well as an international learning environment for expatriate families in Hanoi.
