What is the secret that helps the "village school" Chuong My A have valedictorians in the graduation exam?

(Dan Tri) - In the 2025 high school graduation exam, Chuong My A High School (Hanoi) attracted attention because it is not a specialized school, but had the valedictorian of block A00 and a female student with a 9.75 literature score.

In the recent high school graduation exam, the "village school" Chuong My A High School (Chuong My district, Hanoi ) continued to create surprises when it was the cradle of learning for the top student of block A00 - male student Nguyen Duy Phong. Phong got the absolute score in block A00, the scores were: math 10; physics 10; chemistry 10.

Not only that, before that, Phong was also the candidate with the highest score in the High School Aptitude Assessment (HSA) organized by Hanoi National University. He scored 130/150 points, surpassing the valedictorian of last year's exam by 1 point.

In the second round of Thinking Assessment organized by Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Phong scored 90.54 points. He was in the group of 4 candidates with the highest scores in the country.

In addition, Chuong My A High School also has female student Pham My Linh who scored 9.75 points in the literature exam. This is the highest score in literature that any candidate has achieved in this year's high school graduation exam.

Chuong My A High School is a school located in the suburbs of Hanoi. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school's standard score for grade 10 is 21 points, which is not too high. However, in recent years, this school has often had "bright spots" appearing in major exams.

Last year, former student Nguyen Mai Truc of the school also held the top position in the Competency Assessment exam with a score of 129/150, leading all 6 exam sessions in 2024.

So what makes a "village school" able to create such impressive highlights in important national exams?

In response to this question, male student Nguyen Duy Phong - valedictorian of block A00 in the recent high school graduation exam - said that since he was in middle school, he had set a goal of passing the entrance exam to Chuong My A High School when he transferred to another level.

According to Phong, in Chuong My district, Chuong My A High School has a special mark on local students. The school is famous for its vibrant teaching and learning movement.

The teachers of the school are always dedicated to their profession, care for and encourage their students, and are devoted to teaching. This is a precious tradition of the school's teaching staff over many years.

Chinh Phong during his time studying at school also felt the teachers' passion for their profession. Feeling the teachers' love for their profession, there was a time when he himself wanted to become a teacher.

According to Phong, the vibrant teaching and learning atmosphere in school has motivated him and other students to try harder.

In fact, during his junior high school years, Phong did not think he had the ability to study well in natural sciences , so he set a reasonable goal, which was to pass the entrance exam to Chuong My A High School, because he also hoped that he would have a balanced high school year of studying and training, without studying one-sidedly.

Besides, Phong's parents and brother all studied at this school and were all excellent students of the school. Therefore, his journey of growing up since childhood has had a close attachment to Chuong My A High School, right from the daily stories in the family.

Female student Pham My Linh - the student who scored 9.75 points in literature in the recent high school graduation exam - also has quite similar thoughts to male student Nguyen Duy Phong. According to Linh, the development of each individual on the path to conquering knowledge has both objective and internal factors.

First of all, being good at a subject requires the individual's own strengths and abilities, the environment does not completely determine an individual's abilities. However, the environment has a significant influence, and can contribute to supporting individuals to bring about unexpected results.

While studying at Chuong My A High School, Linh always felt the love, understanding, and friendly and open attitude of the teachers towards the students.

Teachers are all passionate about their profession and are always ready to support their students. It is not uncommon for a class to be over 30-40 minutes after class ends, but there are still classes that have not ended because teachers and students are still passionately pursuing some interesting topic at school.

The school also has a comprehensive development orientation for students, so that they not only study well but also... play well. Academic, art, media clubs... are opened in a very diverse and rich way, so that each student can find a few clubs that are suitable for them and participate in activities.

The school hopes that each student will find useful hobbies and groups of friends who share the same passions, interests and concerns as them.

In addition, the school also conducts a test to assess students' abilities once a year to transfer students to different classes, in order to best meet the needs, wishes and abilities of each student in their final years.

According to math teacher Nguyen Thi Thu Hien , a math teacher at Chuong My A High School, many students have special feelings for the school.

Ms. Hien was the homeroom teacher of Nguyen Duy Phong, a male student in grade 10, and Pham My Linh, a female student in grade 12. She once asked the best students in her class why they did not choose to study at famous specialized schools but instead chose to study at a simple "village school" like Chuong My A.

The students told me that they love this school with a history of more than 60 years. The school focuses on helping students have the opportunity to study evenly and avoid being unbalanced, so many students want to study here because they will have the opportunity to continue to explore their abilities and inclinations during their high school years.

The school periodically conducts annual assessments of students' abilities to rearrange classes, helping them have the opportunity to compete, clearly identify their strengths, focus on studying and clearly define their own direction.

Love for the profession and love for students is a long-standing tradition of the school's teaching staff. The spirit of teaching and learning at school is always vibrant, the school also focuses on building useful movement and extracurricular activities so that students have more opportunities to develop and train themselves.

In addition to diverse clubs, the school also has the "CMA Aspiration" competition with a similar organization to the "Road to Olympia" competition.

"CMA Aspiration" is a knowledge playground that attracts a large number of students of the school to participate, contributing to promoting the learning movement in the school. Up to now, the competition has gone through 11 seasons and is a vibrant movement activity, closely associated with the school life of teachers and students.
