WELCOME TO THE BRITISH VIETNAMESE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL HO CHI MINH CITY
Our outcomes go beyond grades
Because success in the future is shaped by more than grades. It is built on confidence, independence, and the ability to embrace the world while staying true to who you are. These are the values BVIS nurtures every day.
KEY FACTS ABOUT OUR EARLY & PRIMARY YEARS
WHAT WILL HELP YOUR CHILD SUCCEED IN THE AGE OF AI?
In a rapidly changing world, success is no longer defined only by what children know, but by how confidently they communicate, adapt, collaborate and understand themselves. At BVIS, our students develop the skills and personal qualities that will help them thrive for life, not just in exams.
CONFIDENCE
Does your child have the confidence to speak up and share their ideas?
Many academically capable children still hesitate to express themselves, present their ideas or step into unfamiliar situations.
Through a supportive learning environment that encourages discussion, presentation, collaboration and leadership, BVIS helps students find their voice.
So they can communicate with confidence, express themselves clearly and embrace new opportunities.

INDEPENDENCE
Can your child make decisions confidently and solve problems independently?
Success in the future will depend on more than knowledge. It will require resilience, initiative and the ability to navigate uncertainty.
At BVIS, students are encouraged to ask questions, make choices and take ownership of their learning from an early age. Through the English National Curriculum and personalised learning experiences, they develop independent thinking, responsibility and self-belief.
So they are ready to make confident decisions at university, in their careers and throughout life.

LOCAL IDENTITY
As they embrace the world, will they stay connected to who they are?
Many parents want their children to gain an international outlook without losing their connection to Vietnamese language, culture and values.
BVIS's unique bilingual environment in Primary helps students develop global competencies while maintaining a strong sense of cultural identity and belonging.
So they grow into globally minded individuals who remain proud of their Vietnamese heritage.
OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC RESULTS

As part of Nord Anglia Education, our students benefit from international opportunities and global connections while remaining deeply connected to their Vietnamese language, culture and values.
The result is an education that helps students achieve academic excellence while developing the character, skills and mindset needed to flourish in an ever-changing world.

QUESTIONS
- Is BVIS a bilingual international school or an international school?
BVIS is the leading international school with a difference. We are:
- Proud of being a member of Nord Anglia Education, the largest group of premium international schools in the world.
- A school that is fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). As a member of FOBISIA, BVIS follows the English National Curriculum, providing students with the opportunity to graduate with internationally recognised IGCSE and A-Level qualifications, accepted by leading universities worldwide.
- Is staffed with fully qualified, experienced teachers bringing diverse experiences for students to be successful in their learning journey and their future career.
- Equipped with advanced facilities and cutting-edge technology, designed to create an exciting learning environment that supports student learning for both the present and their future.
At BVIS, students are encouraged to develop a global mindset whilst also embracing Vietnamese language, traditions, and cultural values, with a strong emphasis placed on these aspects during the Early Years Foundation Stage and Primary years
- What makes BVIS different from other international schools?
- At BVIS, we are very proud to be a one-of-a-kind school, offering the English National Curriculum, delivering the same teaching approach in both English and Vietnamese during the Foundations stage and Primary years. In the secondary stage, students are required to receive 80% to 93% of their instruction in English, with most subjects are taught in English while Vietnamese Literature remains a priority.
- Will my child be able to follow the curriculum if we enroll halfway through the year?
Yes, absolutely. At BVIS, we provide a personalised learning experience throughout the academic journey to help students integrate into the community as quickly as possible, even when enrolling mid-year.
Before starting school, students will take an entrance assessment to help us understand their current abilities and determine the most suitable support methods. Our experienced teachers will develop a personalised plan, including supplementary classes if needed
Additionally, BVIS’s friendly learning environment ensures that students can quickly adapt and keep pace with the curriculum.
- Will my child who is studying in a Vietnamese school without any English be accepted?
- Their placement will depend on their age, test results, and school reports. Older children are expected to have higher levels of English because of the curriculum we follow. Our excellent English support team can help your child if they experience initial difficulties. We aim for every student to thrive and succeed, no matter their background or experience.
- Does the school follow the British or Vietnamese curriculum?
- BVIS HCMC is a one-of-a-kind school in Vietnam, thanks to our unique ability to teach the National Curriculum of England into two languages that are English and Vietnamese. We use this curriculum as our framework to ensure every student receives an international-style education that maintains a strong Vietnamese perspective.
