Choosing between an international or bilingual international school first depends on what kind of learning experience you’d like for your child. Here are the main differences:
Established in 1997, the British International School has earned a reputation as one of the leading international schools in Southeast Asia, welcoming students aged 2-18 years old.
We’re proud of our outstanding academic record and reputation, having achieved the highest IBDP results in all of Ho Chi Minh City in 2020. The Association of British Schools Overseas (AoBSO) inspection report rated us ‘outstanding’ in recognition of our exceptional learning environment.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum rooted in the English national curriculum and adapted for an international audience. Our high-quality teachers personalise your child’s learning to help them discover their abilities and ambitions. We enrich their learning through exclusive collaborations with world-leading organisations such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Juilliard and UNICEF.
When they join us, your child doesn’t just become part of our friendly local community, but also the global family of Nord Anglia international schools. Our students interact through Global Campus, our online learning platform, sharing thoughts and ideas with their classmates around the globe.
Academic excellence is important to us but we care passionately about your child’s all-round development, too. Our focus is on making sure they have the international qualifications, confidence, creativity and resilience to make a positive difference in a challenging and rapidly changing world.
At our bilingual international school in Ho Chi Minh City, our highly qualified teachers personalise your child’s learning to help their talents shine. This care extends right across the campus from Early Years Foundation Stage provision through to IGCSE and A Level studies.
Our fully integrated, bilingual syllabus in English and Vietnamese consists of the international primary curriculum (IPC), the English national curriculum, Cambridge IGCSE curriculum and Cambridge International A Level, which we blend with elements of the Vietnamese curriculum. We’re proud of our strong academic record, with half of all A Level grades at A* or A in 2021.
We’re a member of the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA) and the only bilingual international school in Ho Chi Minh to be fully accredited by the prestigious Council of International Schools (CIS).
Your child’s learning continues inside and outside the classroom, with a range of activities that nurture their all-round development. Our aim is to build their confidence, creativity and resilience to become global citizens. Our students interact with their classmates at our schools around the world through Global Campus, our online learning platform, sharing thoughts and ideas and developing their global mindset.
Our exclusive collaborations with world-renowned institutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), UNICEF and Juilliard mean your child will have life-changing experiences to inspire them to achieve more than they ever imagined.
