A Snapshot of IELP Curriculum
The importance of IELP
An Emphasis On English Proficiency
The IELP curriculum uses the same framework as the mainstream International School of HCMC Middle Years Program (MYP), with an Emphasis on English Proficiency. While instruction is modified to meet the needs of students at varying stages of English language acquisition, the content of each lesson remains at the same high standard found in mainstream classes.
A Holistic Approach For Individual Success
Students receive daily individualized feedback by our teachers in the form of classroom projects, homework, quizzes, and tests in order to accurately monitor progress. A variety of online tools are also utilized, designed to effectively track improvements in the key skills of English reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
Engagement With The Wider IS HCMC Community
Every student joining in the program is given the opportunity to engage with the broader International School of Ho Chi Minh City community. This includes involvement in co-curricular activities (CCAs), drama productions, music and athletics as part of the program requirement.

I think having co-curricular activities are fun because you can learn outside of school and make new friends. Also, because having after school activities allows me to do what I want to do.

ISHCMC is a big part of my social life. The school door is always open, that’s the feeling ISHCMC gives you. You can talk with the school principal anytime, or even the Head of School. They stop by in the hall to talk with you. They spend time with you. If you feel like you need the school to be there for you as a parent, ISHCMC is there for you.

ISHCMC Parent
It’s very beneficial for my daughter in terms of building up skills, like speaking skills, writing skills, and reading skills. There’s a lot of choices in secondary. And then students have to choose by themselves. What I am, Who am I, What I like,… my daughter loves that and she is willing to learn more.
