History :

   Until 1955, PAVIE, undertaken by the French, was still the only one boarding and secondary school in Vientiane. The school was initially established in 1925 with the total of 4 classes, 120 pupils and 40 beds of its boarding school. At the end of 1956, PAVIE had turned into a new building from secondary school into a high school, which was previously known as " Lycee Vientiane".

  In 1959, Vientiane, the capital city of Laos, now made its possibility to have a vast modern high school, which was able to receive 2,150 students. Lycee Vientiane located in the heart of the city, in a concession area of 6 hectares. It was harmoniously established between parks. The school comprised 17 school buildings representing 43 classes with 50 pupils for each class, a boarding school for 120 pupils, a village hall, 7 buildings of various size representing the whole 36 residences for the administrative staff and professors.

  Since 1975, the Ministry of Education has directly supervised Vientiane High School.

  In 1996, Vientiane High School declared to open up its own new junior high school (MATHAYOM SUKSA TORN TON VIENTIANE) combining to its existing high school (MATHAYOM SUKSA TORN PAI VIENTIANE). This combination creates what is known as "MATHAYOM SUKSA SOMBOUN VIENTIANE".

  There are now approximately 169 full-time teachers teaching from junior high to high school level, representing 72 classes with 3,864 students.

  The educational curriculums emphasize not only on acquisition of specific knowledges and skills in major subjects but also on the acquisition of general knowledge, which helps the students to become high responsible and active members of the society.
