Emasi’s five core subjects include English, Mathematics, Arts, Sciences and Information Technology. The representative said the school uses innovative student-centered pedagogical approaches. Students learn by theme and work on projects to develop teamwork, independent work and self-learning skills.
Bilingualism is integrated into daily teaching and learning activities at the school. According to the school board, the integrated foreign language teaching method is calculated to encourage the process of acquiring and building global understanding for students. "Growing up from Emasi Plus Waterpoint Campus, students will be global citizens who are fluent in both Vietnamese and English. We guide students to multidimensional logical thinking, the ability to appreciate art, apply scientific practices to life and master new technology trends," the school representative shared.

With the boarding model, Emasi Plus applies to students from grades 6 to 12. The school learns from successful boarding models in the world to apply to Vietnamese students, focusing on academic development as well as physical and mental health.
After school, students can participate in many extracurricular activities, club activities, social interactions, entertainment, and spend time studying and developing themselves. According to research from the Association of Boarding Secondary Schools (TABS), 77% of students graduating from boarding schools feel better prepared with skills for university life and their future development journey. "Their daily lives will be rich with many healthy activities. We believe that boarding life helps students always have an energetic spirit and positive energy on the journey to explore the life around them," the school representative shared.
To ensure the boarding experience for students, Emasi Plus invested in a building block with international standards to develop into a boarding apartment complex. According to the announcement, the apartment complex is equipped with modern facilities with many high-class amenities. Each apartment has a common living space, equipped with air conditioning, washing machine, dryer, refrigerator, TV, etc. Students will be arranged in groups of 4-6 people per apartment. In addition, the campus also has a self-study area, medical center, food service with 24/7 security.

School leaders believe that with the current model, students receive many benefits. First, they have more time to talk with teachers and access resources outside of school hours. Boarding also saves travel time so students can rest more, saving energy for development and extracurricular activities.
Students also learn independence and responsibility by managing and arranging their own schedules and becoming part of the community. Many extracurricular events, sports, trips, picnics, festivals and community projects are organized by the school to help students develop leadership skills and multidimensional thinking.

Artist Trinh Kim Chi has a child studying at the Emasi school system since kindergarten. In addition to the knowledge and bilingual program, what impressed her was the series of extracurricular activities that helped her child develop soft skills, become bold, confident, know how to share, and care for those around him. "When my child comes home, he is almost no longer under pressure from schoolwork because he has been guided by teachers since he was in class. Instead, he has more time to participate in activities, develop his thinking and personality," said Ms. Chi.
