Each day begins with a nourishing vegan breakfast, followed by an array of authentic Vietnamese delicacies – steaming bowls of Phở, crispy Bánh Mì, refreshing Gỏi Cuốn, sweet Sugarcane juice, fragrant Trà Sữa, and savory Bún Chả. These flavors will create lasting memories, nourishing both body and soul.

2. Master STEM Skills in Vermont’s Beautiful and Inspiring Environment

Following their enriching Boston experience, your child will continue their journey at Vermont State University's picturesque Randolph campus.
