British Vietnamese International School Ho Chi Minh City

We offer year-round placements for new students – the process is simple, personalised and fast. BVIS HCMC is an academically selective school, home to a diverse community of students.

To learn at our school, students must have sufficient fluency in English or Vietnamese. A verbal reasoning test is required as part of the entrance assessment, to ensure that all students will be comfortable and happy in our school environment. If a student’s language skills need extra support, English and Vietnamese tutoring may be offered at no extra cost, although this is decided on a case-by-case basis.

Additional support is given to students with minor learning difficulties, and will require further documentation and an interview with our learning support coordinator to ensure our school is supporting in the best way possible. Every child must complete an entrance assessment or attend an interview at the campus or remotely, by appointment.

Where applicable, additional documentation must be submitted, including exam certificates, school reports, academic transcripts and a photo of passport/ birth certificate.

Our friendly team is here to make your admissions process as seamless as possible.
