British International School Ho Chi Minh City

We operate under a “Bring Your Own Devise” system for year groups above Year 3.

We believe in the all-round development of our students, and with our diverse co-curricular programme we encourage our students to develop a deeper range of skills and experiences outside of the classroom. Our goal is to provide your child with the tools to excel academically, socially and personally. We currently host over 100 co-curricular activities throughout the school year. You can read more about Extracurricular Activities here .

At BIS HCMC we pride ourselves on offering a broad and balanced co-curricular programme. A wide range of sports are catered for through the standard curriculum and as part of our extensive co-curricular programme. Students also have the opportunity to participate in regular inter-house competitions in many of these sports and enjoy annual athletics days and swimming gala’s which prove to be hugely popular.

We take our sports teams seriously and compete both locally in HCMC leagues and tournaments, and in international competitions.

Located in the multicultural Thao Dien area of Ho Chi Minh City, our three modern campuses - Early Years and Infant, Junior, and Secondary - are energising and dynamic places to learn. Split by age group, each purpose-built campus has first-class facilities that unlock a world of extraordinary opportunities. Combining state-of-the-art sports, science, and artistic spaces with classrooms and labs packed with interactive technology, our facilities will inspire your child to pursue their passions, try new things, and succeed in everything they do. Each individual campus has excellent additional specialist facilities designed to support and enhance your child's learning. Take a virtual tour on our website below.

Two of our campuses have 25m Swimming pools, whilst our Early Years and Infant Campus has a splash pool and a salt water swimming pool. Each campus also has an indoor gymnasiam. We also have outdoor basketball courts, MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area), and multi-weather astro pitch.

All lessons are taught in English and we expect all children to have a reasonable standard of English when they join the school. However, we do offer support from a specialist team to those children for whom English is not their first language.

We have specialist Learning Support teams based at all 3 campuses.

All of our students have access to a dedicated, on-site, Counsellor.
