According to VPBank, Vo Van Tan High School is built on an area of more than 3.1 hectares, including 28 classrooms, 9 subject rooms, 17 functional rooms and other auxiliary works such as football field, parking lot, athletics track, etc.
The project meets the learning needs of more than 2,000 local students. The school started construction in October 2023 and was completed after nearly 11 months of construction with a total investment of VND 100 billion sponsored by VPBank.
Not only is it a national standard school with a development orientation following the high-quality school model of Long An province, Vo Van Tan High School is also the first public school in Vietnam to receive the EDGE Green Building certificate issued by the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
Vo Van Tan High School is fully equipped with necessary facilities to help students easily access the green transformation trend of the future.
The school's surfaces are coated with solar radiation reflective paint, which helps block heat from sunlight, increase the building's lifespan, and minimize the impact of the urban heat island effect.
All classroom glass doors are also coated with Solar Control to reduce the solar heat gain coefficient and thermal conductivity coefficient of the glass, while reducing solar radiation transmitted into the interior space and helping to increase the efficiency of daylight.
Lighting and sanitary equipment are also optimally selected to save energy and water.
In addition, the project uses components and materials with low embodied carbon content, contributing to reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment.

With a tight design and optimal construction in accordance with international green standards, Vo Van Tan High School is recorded to reduce energy consumption by 47%, save water by 37% and reduce energy contained in materials by up to 57%.
With these indicators, the school has been confirmed to have achieved the EDGE ADVANCED certification level - the second highest level of EDGE certification, only after the highest level, EDGE ZERO CARBON.
Speaking at the school inauguration ceremony, Ms. Pham Thi Nhung - member of the board of directors and permanent deputy general director of VPBank - shared that the enterprise is very honored and proud to continue to contribute to the socio-economic development of Long An province, contributing to creating a high-quality learning environment for the future generations of the locality, an international standard green building.

The school also contributes to inspiring learning for children.
According to Ms. Nhung, a green school will not only be a place where students can develop comprehensively both physically and mentally, but also contribute to inspiring learning and awakening respect between humans and nature.
VPBank believes that Vo Van Tan High School will be a green cradle to train new generations of talents in Long An province, contributing to building an increasingly prosperous Vietnam.
It is known that Vo Van Tan High School is the second large-scale high-quality school sponsored by VPBank in Long An province.
Previously, on the occasion of the opening of the 2023-2024 school year, Nguyen Trung Truc High School - Ben Luc was inaugurated. The project has a total investment of 150 billion VND, also sponsored by VPBank.
VPBank said that over the past years, the bank has used many resources to support the repair and construction of more than 50 schools in mountainous areas across the country, raising the total amount of funding for social security activities of enterprises across the country to nearly 1,800 billion VND.
"As one of the leading banks in Vietnam, pursuing a sustainable development strategy and the mission of "For a Prosperous Vietnam", VPBank pays special attention to the task of cultivating the future buds of the country. We will continue to build more schools in the future" - Ms. Nhung affirmed.
According to VPBank, the EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certificate is a system for evaluating buildings based on criteria for efficient use of resources in design, helping to save energy, water and energy used to produce construction materials, thereby helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
To achieve EDGE certification, a project must meet extremely strict criteria for energy savings, water savings and reduction of embodied energy in materials (ie energy used throughout the entire life cycle from production to disposal of the material).
