IB Curriculum International Schools in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Ho Chi Minh City hosts a sizeable group of English-medium international schools that commonly offer the International Baccalaureate at one or more stages (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma) and, in several cases, the full PYP - MYP - DP continuum; many campuses serve both expatriate and Vietnamese families and include bilingual or additional-language pathways. Schools in the city typically teach core subjects in English while offering Vietnamese and other languages such as Mandarin, French and Korean as part of the programme or as world-language options. Annual tuition for IB schools varies widely by campus and year level - family budgets reported in recent guides range from roughly a few thousand US dollars at smaller bilingual schools to well over USD 30,000 - 38,000 a year at some full-continuum international campuses, with extra charges for registration, capital levies, transport and meals. Most international schools set their own calendars (many open in mid-August to September), operate entry assessments and waiting lists, and recommend families begin applications several months before the intended start date to allow time for testing, paperwork and visa/health formalities.
