What Makes Us Special?

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

At the British International School Ho Chi Minh City we believe in a holistic education that fosters a love of learning and balances academic success, character development and wellbeing. Our diverse community acts with integrity, respect and care, learning together as critical enquirers who value reflection and perseverance. United as global citizens, we develop the skills and characteristics to create a more peaceful and sustainable world.

ACCESS TO A GLOBAL CAMPUS

We offer a unique Global Campus network, which connects all of the schools in the worldwide Nord Anglia Education family. The Global Campus gives your child access to a variety of exceptional experiences and opportunities beyond the ordinary.

OUR EXCEPTIONAL SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

We provide an environment that is nurturing, academically stimulating and focused on developing the individual talents and strengths of each child. Our students become confident, adaptable, polite, open-minded and tolerant individuals, who are inspired to become responsible and active global citizens.

HIGHEST ACADEMIC STANDARDS

We have a strong reputation as one of the top academic schools in Vietnam, consistently achieving above-average scores in both the UK and globally.  A combination of conscientious, hard-working students; a dedicated team of highly qualified staff; a challenging and highly respected curriculum and the availability of first-class facilities lead to a school geared towards outstanding educational opportunities.

OUR TEACHERS

We invest in outstanding teaching talent, all of whom are well qualified with relevant British curriculum experience.  Our teaching teams are strong and innovative with a proven track record of successfully motivating and inspiring students to make the best of their abilities.  This is further supported by Nord Anglia University which provides innovative and exciting courses to our staff so that they remain engaged with best practice across the world.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

The significance of community is an integral part of the educational ethos of BIS HCMC and a compulsory part of the school curriculum. The Community Service Programme includes over 50 projects spanning the entire student population of the school where the majority of the projects are designed to focus on time and energy donated by the students rather than funds, encouraging a 'hands-on approach' enabling sustainability.

CO-CURRICULAR

Learning outside the traditional classroom setting is an important part of our students’ development. Our co-curricular programme offers our students the opportunity to participate in a broader educational experience and provides opportunities to develop greater skills in leadership, creativity and a depth of knowledge in their learning.

ENRICHED CURRICULUM

We educate your child for a changing world. We collaborate with pioneering institutions such as MIT and Juilliard, developing programmes that will give them the skills, qualities and outlook to create their own exciting future.
