ISHCMC Family Referral Program

Growing Stronger Through Community Connections

At the International School of Ho Chi Minh City, we understand that a thriving educational environment is built on the foundation of a strong and engaged community. We also believe that at the heart of our community is each family.

The ISHCMC Family Referral Program is designed to harness the power and wisdom of our existing families to further strengthen the ISHCMC community.

Strengthening Community Ties

When you introduce new families to ISHCMC, you do far more than expand our community; you deepen the bonds within it. Families who share our values, enhance the interconnectedness that is vital for continuing ISHCMC’s history of achievement.

Reinforced Values and Trust

When referrals come from within the community, it’s likely that the new families will align closely with the school’s values. This alignment helps to reinforce the school’s culture and builds a foundation of trust and mutual respect among its members.

A Culture of Advocacy

By engaging in our referral program, parents and guardians become ambassadors, actively sharing the positive impact ISHCMC has had on their children’s education with friends, family, and the wider community.
