On September 5, 2022, the inauguration of the high school campus marked a new milestone of the school development. The new campus adopts the House-Family system to promote more cross-grade collaboration and cooperation and to create more opportunities for students to develop leadership. Meanwhile, our teacher force has become more powerful and professional after receiving systematic trainings and learning from each other in the PLCs. They work hard on the school-based curriculum development and student-centered pedagogical practices. LSTS is taking on a new journey with more aspiration and is sure to bring much better-quality education to Vietnam.
