About international schools in Vietnam

Canadian-curriculum international schools in Vietnam typically deliver a provincial Canadian programme (most commonly Ontario, and in some campuses Alberta or adapted Canadian models) taught primarily in English, often alongside a Vietnamese-language or bilingual stream to meet local requirements. Annual tuition varies by city, campus and year group but many Canadian-curriculum schools sit in the mid-to-high band of Vietnam’s international market, with published full-programme fees commonly in the hundreds of millions of Vietnamese đồng and premium campuses charging substantially more; parents should also budget for entrance, capital, transport and activity extras. The school year usually follows the Northern Hemisphere calendar with the main intake in August/September, although many schools offer mid-year places or rolling admissions subject to assessment and seat availability. Relocating families should check which Canadian provincial curriculum and formal accreditation are offered, confirm what final qualification (if any) the school issues, and ask about English language support, waiting lists and one-off enrolment costs before committing a deposit.

FAQs for Vietnam

What does “Canadian curriculum” mean in Vietnam - is it one single programme?
“Canadian curriculum” in Vietnam usually means a school is delivering the syllabus and assessment standards of a Canadian province rather than a single national programme; the Ontario curriculum is the most commonly advertised model and some schools follow Alberta or adapted Canadian frameworks. Delivery is commonly through formal partnerships or authorised programmes, so families should ask schools for the specific provincial programme, evidence of curriculum alignment and how classroom assessment is reported.
How much should we expect to pay each year?
Tuition for Canadian-curriculum international schools in Vietnam varies widely by location and age group, but many full-programme annual fees fall in the hundreds of millions of VND, with top campuses charging significantly more; published market guides put the broad international-school band roughly between VND 200 million and VND 700+ million per year depending on school and level. In addition to tuition, families normally pay application or enrolment fees, capital levies or deposits, and ongoing costs for meals, transport, uniforms and activities, so budget accordingly.
When should we apply and when does the school year start?
Most Canadian-curriculum international schools in Vietnam follow a Northern Hemisphere calendar with the main intake in August or September, and many run assessments for places in the months before term starts. Schools frequently accept mid-year transfers in January or on a rolling basis if space is available, but popular year groups may have waiting lists, so start enquiries several months ahead and ask each school about its specific admissions timeline and entry assessment.
What language is instruction in, and what support is there for non-English speakers?
Instruction is predominantly in English, since Canadian provincial curricula are English-medium, but many schools offer a bilingual stream or structured Vietnamese language classes to satisfy local requirements and family preferences. Most Canadian-curriculum campuses also provide English as an Additional Language (EAL) or English support programmes and placement assessments for new arrivals; parents should request details of entry testing, the size of EAL cohorts and how language progress is reported.
Will my child receive a Canadian diploma and will it be recognised internationally?
Some schools that deliver an authentic provincial programme will prepare students for the relevant provincial secondary qualification (for example an Ontario pathway), but not every school using “Canadian curriculum” issues a directly identical provincial diploma, so parents must verify the exact credential the school awards. If a Canadian provincial diploma or credit recognition is important for future university entry, ask the school for written details of the qualification, any external examinations, and how graduates from that campus have progressed to universities in Canada or other countries.
