In our eagerness to prepare our children for their future successes, we should ensure they master the home-like traditions, values and skills that ground them. Without these solid roots, they may feel lost, without a sense of where their true home really is.

WHAT OUR COMMUNITY SAYS

Mr Thang & Mrs Quyen

Parents

"The world is changing so quickly, in ways we can hardly imagine. Watching Hà Vy (Annie) and Hà My (Sally) grow, we as parents are confident that our children can mature and adapt well to that world without forgeting their roots or their own identity.”

Mrs Sylvie Ma

Parent 

“My kids are 75% Vietnamese, so I think it’s important that they know their background, their culture. I believe that the kids need to be exposed to multi-culturism so eventually when they go study abroad to study, it’s easy for them to adapt.”

Mrs Trinh Tieu

Parent

“I really like BVIS because it provides an excellent learning environment — one that fosters a strong and ever-growing connection between the school, parents, and students. Both of my children, Stella and Kevin, who have graduated, have developed just as our family had hoped. The experience of participating in the International Student Leadership Conference has helped my son, Kevin, become more confident, empowered to express his own opinions, and, moreover, broaden his worldview and understanding as a global citizen.”

Class of 2016 Alumni
Hospitality Management, Switzerland

“Since graduating and pursuing a degree in Hospitality Management, I have worked in Vietnam, Dubai, and Australia. In my work, every team member came from a different country, yet I still felt completely integrated. That experience taught me that working culture is not defined by nationality—it’s shaped by values. BVIS taught me integrity, perseverance, and respect, and carrying these values with me has allowed me to naturally integrate wherever I go.”

“BVIS empowered me to stay connected to her Vietnamese identity while building the confidence to thrive academically and professionally in an international environment. We don’t just adapt to a constantly changing world — we also bring in something unique and valuable from ours.”
