The right balance of acceptance and happiness to boost our resilience.
At International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) we appreciate the challenges and questions that people face when choosing the right school for your family.

Choosing the Right School
What is important to you when choosing a school for your children?
Is it a challenging and globally recognized curriculum that builds a culture of achievement? The opportunity to be curious through sports, creative arts and service? Supported learning in an environment that builds resilience and focuses on wellbeing? Or perhaps it is something else that’s unique to your particular situation.
At ISHCMC we provide learning opportunities for our students and their families to ensure that every child, everyday is energised, engaged and empowered – anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
I love the people at ISHCMC. I enjoy the many different nationalities, it is the best part of attending an international school. Before I came to IS HCMC, I used to go to a local Korean school, which is a totally different education system. The IB programme provides the opportunity to learn in different ways. Also it encourages students to have various points of view.
IS HCMC Student
We moved here from Dubai and we saw a real change in our oldest child who went almost overnight from a shy person to a very confident girl. We often joke that if we could, we would start again in primary if we could go to ISHCMC.

Values Matter
We inspire wellbeing and learning so that our diverse, internationally-minded community flourish as energized, engaged and empowered learners.
ISHCMC aims to be widely recognized as a school that nurtures a creative and collaborative learning environment; one in which students and teachers seek to achieve beyond their goals, flourish as individuals, display compassion, embrace challenges, take principled action on local and global issues and enjoy being part of their community.
A Culture of Achievement
ISHCMC is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School and offers three IB programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), and the Diploma Programme (DP). ISHCMC was the first international school in HCMC and compared to all international schools in Ho Chi Minh City, we are proud to have the longest history of graduating IB Diploma students.
Our teachers are well qualified, experienced, care about their students and build positive relationships to ensure students become lifelong learners who are equipped for life in a 21st century world.
