Dear Family and Friends of Khai Trí Academy:
Khai Trí Academy (“KTA”) cordially invites you to Attend and Sponsor our 10th Anniversary Gala (Theme: Con Rồng Cháu Tiên – Children of the Dragon and the Fairy) on Sunday, February 18, 2024 at Kim Son (Bellaire). KTA will present a special evening celebrating a decade of its remarkable journey as a Vietnamese language and culture school. The evening will be filled with cultural and musical entertainment performed by our students, teachers and special guests including the well-known singer Mr. Don Hồ.
This 2023-2024 school year marks a significant milestone for KTA as it has successfully been in operation for the last 10 years and even during the Covid-19 pandemic. Khai Trí Academy (translated: Cultivate the Mind) was established on January 7, 2014 and opened its doors to serve students in the Greater Houston Area on August 17, 2014 as a result of the need for a modern and effective Vietnamese language program in Houston, Texas. Our mission is to achieve excellence in teaching so that our students can acquire Vietnamese language skills while embracing their bicultural identity in a fun and innovative learning environment. KTA is staffed with 100% volunteer Teachers, Executive Team, and Board of Directors. We also have a highly engaged Parent Association donating countless hours to organize events to further enrich students’ experiences.
Since its inception, KTA has registered and served over 1,600 students. KTA’s current enrollment is 150 students ranging from Children 6 years of age up to Adult. We are striving to provide teaching excellence for many years to come. Thus, to ensure the sustainability of our school long term, fundraising is critical and our goal is to raise at least $50,000 from this event. Your generous donations will be dedicated towards our operating costs and expenses for the next 5 academic years as well as for effective teacher training sessions, classroom supplies, books, college scholarships, engaging student activities, and meaningful cultural experiences.

Thank you for your consideration and commitment to fostering Vietnamese language and culture in our Vietnamese American community. We look forward to seeing you on February 18, 2024!
