On the morning of August 4, 2025, the campus of Olympia Primary, Middle, and High School was filled with laughter, vibrant colors, and warm hugs of reunion. More than just marking an important milestone, the first day of school was a moment for the Olympia community to awaken dreams, spark inspiration, and rekindle bonds after a bright and joyful summer.

After two months of summer break, on August 4, 2025, all Olympia students returned to school, ready to embark on an inspiring new academic journey.

For Primary and Middle School students, Back to School was a chance to set the “wheels of knowledge” rolling again through a variety of activity stations: physical games, creative arts, STEM exploration, music, English, Math, and Vietnamese challenges. Sheets of paper carrying heartfelt wishes for the year ahead, lively melodies, and energetic group performances all came together to create a bright, warm, and hope-filled start.

Meanwhile, High School students began their year with a spirit of discovery and connection. They joined creative warm-up activities such as the “English Icebreaker” game, STEM challenges, and heartfelt summer story sharing. Most notably, an inspiring speech from the new Vice Principal motivated students to set bold goals, sharpen their skills, and proactively create a school year filled with meaningful experiences.
