ALASKA ACADEMY: Let’s Play Basketball!

According to Ms. Pham Thuy Phuong, Principal of Alaska Kindergarten, in addition to Taekwondo and Dance, which have been part of the curriculum in previous years, Alaska is introducing two new Physical Education subjects, Basketball and Dance, for Block K students in the 2024-2025 academic year.
