Parent Experience

History
KinderWorld International Group was founded in 1986 in Singapore. In the late 1990s, KinderWorld expanded its operations into Vietnam. KinderWorld opened KinderWorld International Kindergarten (KIK) centres in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in 2000, and Singapore International School (SIS) campuses in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in 2004. The Singapore International School at Bình Dương New City (SIS@BDNC) is part of the KinderWorld network. The BDNC campus sits on a 2.6-hectare site on Le Loi Street in Bình Dương New City and operates a through-train model from Kindergarten to pre-university. A Phase 3 expansion planned around 2025 aimed to boost facilities and capacity to 2,400 students.

Community
The SIS@BDNC campus is part of an active, values-driven school community that participates in out-of-school activities to build environmental and societal awareness across the KinderWorld network. Public materials describe a range of community and cultural events, including a Christmas charity fair, Lantern Festival, World Water Day, and volunteer visits to local causes, with parents and students contributing to charity efforts. The school emphasizes character development and soft skills such as teamwork and presentation as part of daily learning and school life.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
A formal Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for Singapore International School @ Bình Dương New City is not publicly documented in available materials. Parental involvement is visible through participation in events and volunteer activities, such as the Christmas charity fair where parents and students contributed donations and time. In the KinderWorld network, some campuses (for example, Singapore American School) implement a PTA with activities like Open House, International Fair, and volunteer roles. PTAs in international schools typically include volunteering, fundraising, and community events, but BDNC-specific structures are not publicly detailed. If you'd like, I can help confirm whether a formal PTA or a parent advisory group exists at the BDNC campus by contacting the school directly.

Reputation
Admissions

Admissions
1. Admissions inquiries and campus selection. Parents begin by submitting an online enquiry via the school's Enquiry Form and selecting the Binh Duong New City campus as the intended location. The form asks how the family learned about the school and allows you to specify the desired program, helping the admissions team route your inquiry correctly. The Binh Duong New City campus is listed in the campus options for enquiries, and the contact details are provided there for follow-up.

2. Enrolment documentation. After deciding to proceed, families must prepare enrolment documents: two passport photographs of the child, a certified copy of the child's birth certificate and/or passport, a copy of the parents' passport or ID, a Health Check Certificate/Vaccination Record, and a copy of the child's accident insurance (if opting out of a school insurance plan). These requirements are specified to ensure proper placement and record-keeping before any classroom placement is considered.

3. Interview and class vacancy review. Enrollment is determined after an interview and a review of current class vacancies. The age of the child is used to place them into the appropriate year level, and class vacancies are taken into account in that placement decision. This means that even if a child is eligible by age, a place cannot be guaranteed unless a vacancy exists.

4. Year level placement and class size. Students are placed in a specific year level according to age, with final placement influenced by interview outcomes and available vacancies. Kindergarten classes have a capped size to maintain a quality learning environment, with a maximum between 12 and 25 students depending on the age of the children. Priority for siblings may be given when places are available.

5. Fees payment, registration, and payment timelines. The school offers two programmes, each with its own registration fee and fee schedule: the Integrated Kindergarten Programme and the International Kindergarten Programme. School fees are payable either yearly or termly, with a payment plan that specifies amounts due 30 days before the first day of school (yearly) or 30 days before the first day and 14 days before the last day of the current term (termly).

6. Next steps after fee arrangement. Following acceptance, families complete enrollment forms and finalize the agreed payment schedule per the chosen programme. The school's fee schedules provide the framework for when and how payments are due, including the distinction between yearly and termly plans and the corresponding deadlines. Families should coordinate with the campus to receive the exact enrollment forms and confirm the start date and any orientation activities.

KinderWorld indicates that scholarships may be available, with limited scholarships and need-based support. Families are encouraged to inquire during the application process to understand eligibility and the application workflow.
