This is the second consecutive year that the founder of APU Group has been honored with this prestigious title, a testament to Dr. Thy Binh's significant contributions and strategic vision in promoting international integration in the education sector.

Reflecting on the journey, Dr. Tran Nguyen Thy Binh shared, “I embarked on this entrepreneurial venture driven by a deep concern for providing a standardized American education and a fervent desire to create equal learning opportunities for all students.” With immense pride, Dr. Binh spoke of APU students' successes: “My students, the generations of APU students, have not only held their own on the global academic stage but have confidently distinguished themselves by securing places in prestigious universities worldwide right from their first semesters.” With over 30 years of experience in education, Dr. Binh has established a world-class education system where students are exposed to cutting-edge teaching methods and develop holistically.

"Statistics reveal that over 90% of APU graduates have been awarded scholarships from renowned universities worldwide, particularly in the United States. AUV students can seamlessly transition to Master's programs at AUV's prestigious partner universities in the US and globally, such as the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Arizona State University, Wentworth Institute of Technology, Central Michigan University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Florida Institute of Technology, without the need for GMAT/GRE scores. 

This attests to the exceptional quality of education and effective teaching methods within the school system. Dr. Binh emphasized the importance of personalized education strategies, stating, “Each student has a unique learning path tailored to their abilities, aspirations, and future goals, aligning with global economic trends.”
