We believe in the all-round development of our students, and with our diverse co-curricular programme we encourage our students to develop a deeper range of skills and experiences outside of the classroom. Our goal is to provide your child with the tools to excel academically, socially and personally. We currently host over 100 co-curricular activities throughout the school year.

The school provides a set lunch for all students in our Primary campuses from F1 to Year 6 as part of the fee structure. Our Secondary campus offers a choice of two dining outlets. Payment for snacks and lunches is made using a card system which can be topped up online, or by the students on site. Secondary students have the choice of eating at The BIStro; an open-air cafe serving daily specials, and regular items such as snacks, salads, fresh baguettes, sandwiches etc. Or The Cafeteria, an indoor canteen serving a selection of hot Asian and Western meals, with vegetarian options for both.

At BIS HCMC we pride ourselves on offering a broad and balanced co-curricular programme. A wide range of sports are catered for through the standard curriculum and as part of our extensive co-curricular programme. Students also have the opportunity to participate in regular inter-house competitions in many of these sports and enjoy annual athletics days and swimming gala’s which prove to be hugely popular.

Two of our campuses have 25m Swimming pools, whilst our Early Years and Infant Campus has a splash pool and a salt water swimming pool. Each campus also has an indoor gymnasiam. We also have outdoor basketball courts, MUGA, and multi-weather astro pitch.

We take our sports teams seriously and compete both locally in HCMC leagues and tournaments, and in international competitions.

You want the best for you child. So do we.

The happiness and contentment of our students is of utmost importance to us: the exceptional academic success that we have achieved here comes about through rigour, hard work and discipline, but also through a very strong pastoral element that accompanies the emotional development of our students.

This is absolutely vital and it is why we purposefully nurture a working environment that means students work hard, work well, but also take risks and try new ideas in their learning processes. Indeed, students must BE AMBITIOUS as GLOBAL CITIZENS LEARNING TOGETHER.
