The Essentials

Western Australian International School System (WASS) has 2,500 pupils, typical class sizes of 20, instruction in English.

Location
WASS operates across five campuses in central districts of Ho Chi Minh City. The campuses include Dien Bien Phu (Kindergarten) at 260 Dien Bien Phu St., Nguyen Huu Canh (Kindergarten) at 35 Nguyen Huu Canh St., the Integrated Primary campus at 43 Nguyen Thong St., the Integrated Secondary campus at 84 Ba Huyen Thanh Quan St., and the Ly Chinh Thang International Campus. These central locations provide convenient access for families and are well placed for commuting by car, taxi, or public transport in District 3 and surrounding areas.

Stages
WASS offers a full K–12 program. The Ly Chinh Thang International Campus provides Western Australian K-10 International, plus WA International options and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) for Years 11–12; other campuses extend WA curriculum through primary and secondary levels.

Type
WASS is a co-educational school. Historically, it operated boarding facilities at a dormitory site, but current public information does not advertise a boarding program. The school is structured to support both local and international students in a mixed setting.

Additional learning support
WASS provides a Learning Support program centered on literacy and independent learning. It includes a multilingual library with dedicated library classes and a Writing Center to develop reading, writing, and research skills across the student body.

Diving Deeper

Boarding Arrangements
WASS provides boarding for primary and secondary students. The boarding building is located at 17/1 Ho Van Hue, Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City.

Languages

Language Provision
Languages taught at WASS centre on English and Vietnamese; the bilingual program uses both languages for instruction from early years through Year 9, while WA International programs deliver instruction primarily in English.

Bilingual Teaching
The Bilingual Program at WASS provides instruction in both English and Vietnamese. It covers students from Year 1 to Year 9, combining the Vietnamese MOET bilingual program with three Australian curriculum subjects—English, Mathematics, and Science—so teaching time is shared between the two programs. Vietnamese and English teachers work closely, and lessons are linked to the Unit of Inquiry to help students connect concepts across languages. From Year 10 to 12, students study English with native speakers and Vietnamese teachers to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing toward IELTS level 5.5 or higher; students may also pursue AP or SAT pathways, and the school has pursued authorization for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

Immersion Programs
The Integrated Vietnam-American Bilingual Program (VAP) is offered for Kindergarten through Grade 8. In this program, elementary and junior high students learn core subjects in English (including English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Sciences) using standards such as CCSS, NGSS, AERO, and various state standards. Vietnamese MOET subjects remain, and specialist subjects support broader learning. The VAP provides a pathway toward the American Diploma Program and supports building advanced English proficiency and familiarity with American culture and assessment practices.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Submit an Admissions Inquiry.

This initial contact helps families understand which WA Curriculum pathways (WA K-10 International, WA Curriculum Partial – Integrated, and related programs) align with the student's goals. The Admissions team can be reached via the school's inquiry process and hotline for direct guidance: (028) 7109 5077 and 0963 999 701.
