This accomplishment reaffirms the high-quality training and comprehensive preparation of FPT Schools, which equips students with both knowledge and essential skills to confidently take on global academic challenges.

This is the second consecutive year that FPT Schools students have shone at the global finals held at the world-renowned Yale University. To achieve such consistent and impressive results, students not only rely on broad academic knowledge, but also on strong academic English proficiency, sharp critical thinking, and enduring teamwork—core values nurtured through signature programs such as Personal Development Program (PDP) and English & Global Competence.

In every round of the WSC—from intensive debate and analytical essay writing to complex team challenges—students transformed the competition into a journey of meaningful “growth touchpoints”. They learned to analyze issues from multiple perspectives, confidently express academic viewpoints in English, and collaborate effectively in multicultural environments.

Sharing about this year’s success, Mr. Nguyễn Xuân Phong, Director of FPT Schools System, emphasized: “This achievement is the clearest evidence of FPT Schools’ educational philosophy—developing well-rounded, globally competent students. We do not merely teach knowledge; we cultivate critical thinking, teamwork, and the confidence to step into the world. These form the foundation for future global citizens ready to face any challenge. Congratulations to our students for their outstanding effort.”

Nguyễn Thanh Trúc, a 12A9 student from FPT High School Đà Nẵng, shared her reflection: “To me, the World Scholar’s Cup is more than an academic competition. It allowed us to see where we stand on the global knowledge map. The pressure was intense, but debating against the strongest teams helped us apply everything we’ve learned—critical thinking, reasoning, teamwork. Every medal is meaningful, but what matters most is that we dared to push beyond our limits and made the voices of Vietnamese students heard at Yale.”

Similarly, Dương Nguyễn Bảo Ngọc, a 12A12 student from FPT High School Cần Thơ, shared her appreciation for the soft skills gained at school:

“Thanks to the intensive debate classes and the English & Global Competency program at FPT Schools, we were able to express our ideas in English confidently and professionally. Studying across many subjects broadened our foundational knowledge significantly. I realized that interdisciplinary thinking and adaptability are key to successful global integration.”
