About international schools in Vietnam

British-curriculum international schools in Vietnam most commonly follow the English National Curriculum from Early Years through Key Stages, progressing to Cambridge IGCSEs at 14 - 16 and offering A-levels or other senior pathways thereafter. Instruction is generally in English, although many schools run bilingual strands or require Vietnamese language and Vietnam-studies for Vietnamese nationals while also offering other modern languages such as Mandarin and French. Fees vary significantly by city and year group; in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City annual tuition for British-curriculum schools commonly spans roughly VND200 million for younger years up to nearly VND1 billion for senior secondary, with most schools sitting between those points. Admissions follow an August/September academic cycle at many schools, so families relocating should start enquiries many months before their intended start date and expect requests for previous school reports, birth documentation and English assessments or interviews.

FAQs for Vietnam

How does the British curriculum in Vietnam differ from the International Baccalaureate or American programmes?
The British curriculum is structured around the English National Curriculum and Key Stages, typically leading to Cambridge IGCSE exams at 14 - 16 and A-levels (or alternative senior pathways) at 16 - 18, which focus on subject depth and external examination. This contrasts with the IB’s continuum (PYP/MYP/DP), which emphasises inquiry, interdisciplinary learning and a single diploma at 16 - 18, and with American programmes that tend to use grade-level standards and credits rather than national Key Stages.
What language will my child be taught in, and will they learn Vietnamese?
Teaching is predominantly in English at British-curriculum international schools, but Vietnamese language and Vietnam-studies are commonly offered and are required for Vietnamese citizens by national regulation; many schools also provide world-language options such as Mandarin, French or Korean.
What should I budget for beyond published tuition fees?
Families should allow for non-tuition costs such as application and enrolment fees, capital levies or deposits, school transport, meals, uniforms, external exam fees (IGCSE/A-level) and extracurricular activities; these extras can add a material amount to the annual cost.
When should we start the admissions process if we are relocating to Vietnam?
Begin enquiries at least six to nine months before an intended August/September start for the most popular schools, since application windows and places can fill early; some schools also run rolling admissions and can accept children mid-year, but assessments and paperwork still take time.
What practical things should we compare when choosing a British-curriculum school in Vietnam?
Compare the exact curriculum pathway on offer (eg. whether the school continues to A-levels or switches to the IB), language provision and support for English-additional learners, safeguarding and accreditation, class sizes and teacher qualifications, and the location and transport options relative to where you will live. Looking closely at these operational details will help match the school’s offer to your child’s needs rather than relying on reputational claims.
