ALASKA ACADEMY: CONGRATULATIONS TO PHAM TUNG LAM AND PHAM MY AN ON BRILLIANTLY WINNING SILVER MEDALS AT IMSO 2026

Returning from the International Mathematics and Science Olympiad (IMSO 2026) held from October 2 to October 7, 2026, in Indonesia, two students, Pham Tung Lam and Pham My An (Class 6C1), brilliantly brought home 02 prestigious Silver Medals for the Vietnam National Team.

Competing in Science alongside 179 contestants from 19 countries and territories worldwide, Tung Lam and My An navigated two intense rounds—Theoretical and Experimental—demanding a vast and comprehensive range of knowledge:

Theoretical Round: Facing tough, challenging questions, Tung Lam and My An remained calm and confident, showcasing exceptional logical thinking and strong competitive composure to complete their exams brilliantly.

Experimental Round: Grouped with students from 5 different countries, the two Alaskids continued to shine with outstanding teamwork—proactively collaborating, connecting, and supporting their teammates to carry out experiments successfully.

Beyond their academic achievements, Tung Lam and My An confidently engaged in cultural exchange activities: performing an energetic flashmob dance with the Vietnam Team at Cultural Night, exploring the traditional beauty of host and partner nations, and taking part in exciting folk games. Notably, Tung Lam and his teammates collaborated to deliver an impressive presentation, becoming one of the top 05 teams to earn the Excellence Award in the STEM category.

At IMSO 2026, Tung Lam and My An fully demonstrated their personal strengths and the solid skills nurtured at Alaska Academy: natural logical thinking, deep scientific knowledge, and adaptable hands-on capabilities.

With 02 precious Silver Medals, Tung Lam and My An helped raise the Vietnam National Team’s total Science tally to 05 Gold Medals, 05 Silver Medals, and 02 Bronze Medals—ranking 2nd in total Science medals at IMSO 2026 (just behind Singapore).

Following the warm Send-off Ceremony before their departure, today’s homecoming welcomed Tung Lam and My An back into loving arms, leaving teachers, friends, and families deeply moved and proud. You are obedient, intelligent students, friends, and children who always keep alive the spark of curiosity, passion for discovery, and the courage to reach out to the world.

Thank you, Tung Lam and My An, for bringing glory to the National Team! Thank you for your relentless efforts, making Alaska Academy forever proud to have such wonderful students!
