Nam Uc Scotch AGS builds on over 100 years of educational heritage from Scotch College Adelaide, bringing an authentic Australian learning experience to Vietnam.
Guided by The Rising Lion philosophy, the school nurtures students’ intellectual, physical and emotional development, awakening their inner strengths so they can grow with confidence, take ownership of their future and reach their full potential.
AGS Talent is an Australian Senior Secondary program leading to the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), beginning in Year 10. It is purposefully designed for academically capable and highly motivated students.
The program combines a strong academic foundation with essential skills, preparing students to pursue admission to their dream universities around the world.
The Rising Lion framework nurtures students through three interconnected pillars: Inner Strengths, Personal Voice and Sustainable Leadership. It helps students build character, express their perspectives with confidence and progressively take ownership of their future.
From Year 10, research projects and university guidance tools empower students to explore potential fields of study, destinations and universities. Through this process, they develop a deeper understanding of their abilities and interests before choosing a specialised academic pathway.
From Semester 2 of Year 10, students receive guidance in selecting subjects across four specialised study streams aligned with their strengths and university aspirations. This personalised approach is designed to maximise academic potential and support strong Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) outcomes.
AGS Talent offers a structured three-year pathway in which students complete the SACE over 2.5 years, followed by a flexible six-month period for pre-university subjects and preparation for the transition to higher education.
Through university pathway subjects, eligible students may receive credit exemptions for up to eight university subjects, depending on their chosen institution and degree. This may allow students to reduce the duration of their university studies and make substantial savings on tuition fees and living expenses in Australia.
Students develop a Business Mindset through foundational subjects such as Management, Marketing, Accounting and Economics. These disciplines encourage practical problem-solving, analytical thinking and the ability to apply knowledge across a wide range of future careers.
Through Digital Technologies, students develop digital literacy and learn to apply technology and AI tools in their studies, research and creative projects. These capabilities help students become adaptable, confident learners in an increasingly technology-driven world.
With ongoing academic mentoring, students develop a personalised portfolio showcasing their strengths and achievements through research projects, academic competitions and selected extracurricular activities. This portfolio provides meaningful evidence of their capabilities, interests and accomplishments, supporting their university applications.

Awaken the Inner Lion
At Nam Uc Scotch AGS, every student is recognised as a unique individual with their own strengths and potential. AGS Talent provides a supportive and empowering learning environment where students take an active role in shaping their personal development journey. This philosophy is built around three interconnected pillars: Inner Strengths, Personal Voice and Sustainable Leadership.
Understand Yourself
Through a holistic development framework centred on six core competencies and the RADI-RAHI values, students progressively strengthen their thinking skills, emotional awareness, physical wellbeing and sense of responsibility. This foundation helps them develop independence, adaptability and resilience, empowering them to face challenges with determination and confidence.
Express Yourself
Through learning, presentations, research and teamwork, students are encouraged to voice their opinions, articulate their ideas clearly and demonstrate their abilities with confidence. This foundation empowers them to develop their unique identities and proactively pursue greater ambitions.
Shape the Future
Students progressively learn to set goals, make decisions, adapt to change and take responsibility for their choices. By developing the ability to lead themselves, they build the leadership skills to inspire others, make a positive impact and create lasting value for their communities.
Students graduate with the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), awarded through South Australia's official education system. Combined with a specialised academic pathway designed to support strong ATAR results, the program helps students build a competitive academic foundation and pursue opportunities at universities in Australia, the United States, Canada and Europe.
The English as an Additional Language (EAL) program, alongside preparation guidance for IELTS, PTE or SAT where required, supports students in developing academic communication, language proficiency and research skills. This preparation helps them transition confidently into English-speaking university environments.
Through research projects, academic competitions and selected extracurricular activities, students progressively build a distinctive portfolio that reflects their individual strengths, passions and career aspirations. Their portfolio provides evidence of their achievements and helps strengthen their university applications.
The UniPrep program supports students through career guidance workshops, structured assessment tools and research - based learning activities. Experiences such as the Scotch Adventure – Study Tour further help students explore potential fields of study, develop essential skills and prepare proactively for future study abroad.
