Academics

Curriculum

The Early Years & Infant Campus at the British International School Ho Chi Minh City follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework from the United Kingdom. The curriculum emphasises learning through play, communication, and exploration, developing early literacy, numeracy, and social skills. Children progress through Foundation 1 to Foundation 3, where they experience a balance of structured and free-choice activities in language, mathematics, understanding the world, and creative expression. Specialist lessons in music, physical education, and Vietnamese culture are also included. Assessment is continuous and observational, ensuring that each child’s learning is guided by their individual development. Upon completing Foundation 3, children transition to the Junior Campus for Year 1, where they begin the English National Curriculum and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC).
