AISVN Together – AIST
The American International School Vietnam (AISVN) was dissolved by Decision 3693/QĐ-UBND of 31 December 2025. Parents still have no official information about the assets, the records or the money they paid.
AIST has no magic. AIST does two things: gather parents' voices so the State clarifies and supervises, and propose a balance of interests for the parties to consider.
Many parents have heard second-hand accounts of AIST that are not accurate. The four points below are AIST's public commitments.
No. AIST asks no one to write off, reduce, defer or swap any debt. AIST's proposal is only an option; a family that wants it signs for itself, with independent counsel, under the law.
No. AIST does not represent, act for or decide on behalf of the owner. Talks with any party serve only to obtain information and put forward parents' demands. Parents keep every right to complain, report or sue.
AIST promises no refund. AIST asks the State for five concrete, verifiable things: a multi-party meeting, a named focal point, inventory – sealing – supervision of assets and records, transparency on the debtor entity, a published timeline. Each is status-tracked every two weeks.
The opposite. AIST's first request is to inventory, seal and supervise the school's assets and records in the presence of State agencies and parent representatives.
A social enterprise, no profit distribution, seed capital from a group of parents. No fees from other parents.
No need to join, authorise or agree with AIST to speak up. Anyone who authorised AIST may withdraw at any time.
AIST proposes a balance of interests. It does not carry out a restructuring, does not represent the owner, does not replace the authorities.
Running costs are covered by the founders and volunteers; income and spending are disclosed.
Published figures are reconciled by a parent outside AIST before each closing. No individual names are published.
Any plan applies only to those who voluntarily sign. Those who disagree lose no right.

For over two years, hundreds of families have waited, petitioned, and remained patient. But the truth is: nothing happens automatically if we do not proactively activate the process. This article clearly outlines the current landscape and explains why filing …
What parents need most right now is for the State to clarify and supervise. That does not depend on what you think of AIST.
