The first international school in Ho Chi Minh City
We’re delighted you’re considering ISHCMC for your child’s education. At the International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC), we are dedicated to providing an exceptional educational experience that empowers students to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
Our admissions process is designed to be welcoming, transparent, and informative, ensuring that every prospective family feels supported as they explore the opportunities available at ISHCMC.
Selecting the right school for your child is a significant decision. At ISHCMC, we believe in partnering with families to ensure that our values and educational approach align with your expectations. We encourage you to explore our programs, visit our campus, and meet our dedicated staff to understand how we can support your child’s growth and development.
We believe that every student brings unique qualities to our community. At ISHCMC, we welcome families who can benefit and contribute to a community built on a Culture of C.A.R.E (Curiosity-Achievement-Resilience-Empathy). As an inclusive school, ISHCMC’s diverse student population represents a range of nationalities, languages, economic and cultural backgrounds, and abilities.
Our rolling admissions policy means that your child can join ISHCMC at any time, provided that space is available in the appropriate grade level.
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.
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.
Applying to ISHCMC is a straightforward process designed to ensure a smooth transition for your child. Our admissions team will guide you through each step, from exploring our school (online and in-person) to the application process.
At ISHCMC, we believe in trust and transparency, and understand that choosing the right school is a decision that involves careful financial consideration.
Unlike other schools in Vietnam, our all-inclusive tuition fee covers everything for all of your child’s core needs for their holistic development – uniforms, field trips, individual devices (iPad, Macbook Air), English and academic support, outdoor education, school uniform set, and more.
With ISHCMC, you’re choosing a path of financial clarity and ease, allowing you to focus on your child’s education.
We are here to support you! Our admissions team, speaking Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, and English, is committed to making your application journey comfortable and supportive.

Our curriculum is in line with international expectations and catered to meet individual needs. Through the process of inquiry-based learning and the application of the transdisciplinary skills and attitudes, ISHCMC parents can be confident that their children, learning in an IB curriculum, will be able to move back to their home country’s or new schools with ease and confidence.
Currently ISHCMC does not offer boarding.
Depending on where our families live, students get to campus via a number of ways. We offer a pick-up/drop-off bus service to all our students and a campus-to-campus shuttle service for students travelling between Primary and Secondary.
