British International School Ho Chi Minh City - Secondary Campus

After it’s humble family beginnings in 1997, the British International School Ho Chi Minh City (BIS HCMC) has grown to become the largest international school in Vietnam and one of the leading international schools in South East Asia. BIS HCMC is at the forefront of education, inspiring an international student body of over 50 nationalities to achieve outstanding academic success in an innovative and dynamic environment. In its latest inspection by the British Government, the school was inspected, approved and rated as ‘Outstanding in all categories’, an accolade that very few schools around the world have achieved.

Located in the multicultural Thao Dien area of Ho Chi Minh City, our three modern campuses - Early Years and Infant, Junior, and Secondary - are energising and dynamic places to learn.

Split by age group, each purpose-built campus has first-class facilities that unlock a world of extraordinary opportunities. Combining state-of-the-art sports, science, and artistic spaces with classrooms and labs packed with interactive technology, our facilities will inspire your child to pursue their passions, try new things, and succeed in everything they do.

BIS HCMC operates from three impressive campuses boasting first class facilities in the residential area of District 2. The Secondary Campus caters for high school children aged 11 – 18 and is equipped with modern classrooms, a well-stocked library, music and computer suites, STEAM Labs, an indoor 25m swimming pool as well as outdoor sports facilities.

The BIS HCMC secondary school delivers a high school curriculum that is both stimulating and challenging, providing a broad and balanced education enriched through unique collaborations with world-leading organisations such as MIT, Juilliard and UNICEF. Their exclusive blend of the English National Curriculum (Years 7-9), International General Certificate of Secondary Education (Years 10-11) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (Years 12-13) equips your child with the knowledge and skills required for success in the 21st century.

The academic results in these programmes are significantly higher than any other school in Vietnam and compare favorably to the highest achieving international schools across the world, proven by their listing in the World’s Top 50 IB Schools – the only school in Vietnam to achieve this accolade. Graduating from the British International School Ho Chi Minh City therefore provides your child with a passport to further and higher education in some of the best colleges and universities across the globe.
