British International School Ho Chi Minh City

The British International School Ho Chi Minh City (BIS HCMC) is widely regarded as one of the leading international schools in Vietnam. Established in 1997, it has grown from a tiny kindergarten into a multi-campus institution that caters to a diverse international community. As a member of the Nord Anglia Education family, the school benefits from global collaborations with institutions like MIT and Juilliard.

The school follows the National Curriculum of England, transitioning into the IGCSE in Years 10 and 11, and culminates in the IB Diploma Programme for the final two years. The philosophy centers on 'Be Ambitious,' encouraging students to reach beyond their perceived limits through a rigorous academic framework and a massive range of extracurricular activities.

BIS HCMC is notable for its exceptional academic results, consistently placing well above the global average in IB scores. Its facilities are state-of-the-art, including specialized STEAM rooms, professional-grade theaters, and extensive sporting grounds, all located within the popular expatriate enclave of Thao Dien.
