About international schools in Vietnam

Montessori international schools in Vietnam are mostly focused on early years and lower-primary education and emphasise child-centred, mixed-age classrooms, hands-on materials and self-directed learning rather than conventional teacher-led lessons. Many operate as English-medium or bilingual (English - Vietnamese) preschools and some blend Montessori methods with national or international programmes as children move into primary years. Fees vary widely by city and school type - modest independent Montessori preschools may charge in the low millions of VND per month while full international programmes commonly quote annual tuition in the hundreds of millions of VND (and international primary fees are often described in USD ranges); additional one-off enrolment, capital and transport charges are common. Admissions for preschools are often flexible with tours and rolling intakes, but popular Montessori and international schools keep waiting lists and require documents such as passports, visas and health records, so relocating families should arrange visits early, check language support and accreditation, and budget for extras beyond headline tuition.

FAQs for Vietnam

What ages and stages do Montessori international schools in Vietnam usually cover?
Most Montessori providers in Vietnam focus on the early years and lower primary: many accept children from around 12 - 24 months through to five or six years, with some schools offering Montessori-inspired classrooms that continue into primary grades. A smaller number of institutions combine authentic Montessori early years with other curricula for older primary pupils, so families should confirm the exact age range with each school.
How does a Montessori programme in Vietnam differ from an IB or British curriculum school?
Montessori emphasises child-led learning, mixed-age classrooms and specialised hands-on materials that allow pupils to work at their own pace, whereas IB and British curricula are structured around set subject frameworks, age cohorts and teacher-directed lessons. Assessment in Montessori settings tends to be observational and developmental rather than exam or syllabus-based, so parents relocating from more formal systems should ask how the school documents progress and prepares children for later transitions.
What languages of instruction can I expect at Montessori international schools in Vietnam?
English is the most common medium in international Montessori settings, but bilingual English - Vietnamese models are widespread and some campuses use Vietnamese as the primary language with strong English support. If your family needs full English immersion or wants to prioritise Vietnamese language development, check each school’s stated language policy and the proportion of native-level teachers in each language.
How much should we budget - what are typical fees and extra costs?
Tuition varies greatly by location and school type: independent Montessori preschools may charge in the low millions of VND per month, while larger international programmes often list annual preschool or primary fees in the hundreds of millions of VND; broader international school fees in Vietnam are commonly reported in USD ranges from several thousand up to the mid five figures per year depending on grade and school tier. Beyond headline tuition expect one-off enrolment or capital fees, meals, transport and activity charges, so request a full fee schedule before committing.
What does the admissions process look like for a relocating family?
Most Montessori preschools invite families to book a tour and observation session and operate rolling admissions for early years, but in-city popular international and Montessori schools often keep waiting lists and may require an interview, an observation day for the child, and standard documents such as passports, visa/permit details and vaccination records. Start enquiries as soon as you know your moving dates, ask about language support, sibling priority and refunds for deposits, and keep copies of health and education records to speed registration.
