We know that when it comes to choosing a school for your child, there are many factors to consider.

Students, teachers, parents and school community members at The British International School, Ho Chi Minh City are celebrating exceptional results in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) for the 2020/21 academic school year. The best IBDP results so far in the history of the school.

We are often asked when the ‘right time’ is for conversations at-home or in school to be had around making decisions for the future. Rather than recommend a specific time in which these decisions need to be made, we suggest instead that all of our parents keep in mind the key milestones in the secondary school calendar and how decisions at each of these stages help to open up potential future pathways and opportunities.

Our IB Diploma students graduate from BIS with some of the highest scores in Vietnam and across the world. Find out how a BIS education provides our students with limitless opportunities.

You may be thinking that in the 9 days that we have been Virtual Learning this term it has only been our academic curriculum that has been continuing...but this is not the case! While our students seamlessly transitioned into online classrooms for their lessons, a number of student leadership groups and CCAs also did the same, with our students taking the lead to ensure that they stayed connected and our projects and activities continued moving forwards during this time.
