High School for Gifted Students achieves Olympia Finals record

The High School for Gifted Students at Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, holds a unique record in the history of the Đường Lên Đỉnh Olympia academic competition. The school is the only institution to have students reach the annual championship final for four consecutive years, spanning from 2012 to 2015.

To date, five students from the school have competed in the annual finals: Bùi Tứ Quý (year 9), Thân Ngọc Tĩnh (year 12), Đào Nguyễn Thạnh Hưng (year 13), Nguyễn Hoàng Bách (year 14), and Nguyễn Huy Hoàng (year 15). During the four-year consecutive streak, three students, including Thân Ngọc Tĩnh, Đào Nguyễn Thạnh Hưng, and Nguyễn Hoàng Bách, secured runner-up positions.

Established in 1993 as a specialized Mathematics and Informatics system, the school became an independent entity under Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, in 1996. It has spent over three decades focusing on identifying and nurturing gifted students.
