History

Singapore International School @ Binh Duong New City (SIS BDNC) is part of KinderWorld Education Group's network of international schools. SIS BDNC was originally located in the Canary urban complex in 2009 and moved to a dedicated 2.6‑hectare campus on Le Loi Street in Binh Duong New City in 2012 to serve students from Pre‑Nursery to High School, accommodating up to about 2,400 pupils. The campus is conceived as Phase 2 of KinderWorld's three‑phase 'Super School' development for Binh Duong New City, with Phase 3 planned to expand facilities further. KinderWorld International Group, founded in 1986 in Singapore, oversees a portfolio of international campuses in Vietnam, including SIS BDNC and other KinderWorld schools.
