British Curriculum International Schools in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

British-curriculum international schools in Ho Chi Minh City generally follow the English National Curriculum in primary and lower secondary, moving into Cambridge IGCSEs in Years 10 - 11 and then either A-levels or other senior pathways (some schools complement or replace A-levels with the IB Diploma). Instruction is led in English while many schools also teach Vietnamese as a compulsory subject or operate bilingual English - Vietnamese tracks, especially in younger years. Fees vary widely by school and age: smaller bilingual primaries can sit at the lower end of the market while premium British/IB campuses charge multiple hundreds of millions of VND per year, with senior-year tuition in the city’s highest fee brackets approaching VND 1 billion. New cohorts normally start at the beginning of the school year (August - September), with occasional mid-year places where space allows; parents should budget separately for application/placement charges, annual development or capital levies, bus and lunch, and external exam fees.
