About the school

Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

British Vietnamese International School Ho Chi Minh City has in its very short life already established itself as one of the leading international schools in Vietnam, and the only bilingual school in Vietnam that is fully accredited by CIS (Council of International Schools).

Teaching approach of the school

BVIS is very special because it is the only bilingual school in Vietnam that has a licence to teach an international curriculum and deliver international qualifications.
The curriculum is based on the National Curriculum of England, and it has also embedded a number of Vietnamese subjects in the programme to offer its students the best from both types of education. Students graduate with International A Level Qualifications, which are not only recognised by all top universities in the world, but are also well respected and highly regarded by leading universities.
