Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Personal safety and protective behaviours are taught as part of ongoing lessons. A school nurse is on-site, and students have access to Guidance Counsellors and dedicated Student Protection Contacts who respond to safeguarding concerns. All staff participate in annual student-protection training to ensure consistent handling of welfare issues.

The programme centers on students' wellbeing and aligns with the rights of the child as set out in international guidance.

Other pages reference staff profiles and general support services, but do not describe SEN-focused services. The school does not publicly disclose information regarding SEN.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The bilingual program offered at SIS BDNC is designed for Vietnamese students from Grade 1 to Grade 9 through a collaborative education program with a partner school. Through this program, students study Vietnamese MOET-required subjects alongside important components of international curricula. English language development is a focus, with English taught according to the Singapore curriculum and a Nexgen (neo™) English supplementary program. The curriculum also integrates STEM, Outward Bound life-skills training, and Mandarin language instruction. Overall, the school provides language development within a structured bilingual framework rather than a separate, standalone EAL department.

Parent Experience

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. The SIS BDNC campus sits at Lot F7, Le Loi Street, in the New City area of Binh Duong, Thu Dau Mot City, Vietnam.

Community
Singapore International School @ Binh Duong New City maintains an active school community with regular cultural and academic events.

The school publishes bilingual newsletters (English and Vietnamese) sharing principal messages, student reports, STEM updates, and milestone events to keep families informed.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
Within the Singapore International School network, parent involvement is typically organized through a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA).

SIS BDNC publishes regular bilingual newsletters and highlights events that involve families, such as Graduation and Award ceremonies and cultural celebrations like Mid‑Autumn Festival and Tet. These demonstrate active family engagement through school communications and events.
