Type

Singapore International School @ Saigon South is a co-educational day school.

Additional learning support

The school’s learning framework supports students at different stages of English language proficiency through its Integrated and International Programmes. While there is a strong focus on language acquisition and academic support, the school does not publish a dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) department or programme.

Country affiliation

The school is part of the KinderWorld Education Group and follows a blend of Singapore and Cambridge curricula. It is not affiliated with any specific country’s national education system.

Religious affiliation

The school has no religious affiliations.

School day structure

Classes at Singapore International School @ Saigon South begin at 8:25 am and finish at 4:45 pm. The day starts with a short Form Class session followed by Breakfast, and lessons are scheduled in 45-minute periods throughout the day. Lunch takes place between 11:15 am and 12:45 pm, depending on year level, and there is an afternoon Recess from 2:15 pm to 2:30 pm.

The school provides a dedicated bus service for students living in and around Ho Chi Minh City. Routes are organized by residential zones, and each bus has an attendant to assist younger students. Pick-up and drop-off times are scheduled according to location, with fees varying by distance from the campus.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school mentions a “Virtues Programme” that reinforces character traits such as teamwork, perseverance and effective communication from early years through to high school. Since the Integrated and International Programmes include “self-confidence” and “leadership” development via an outward-bound course, these elements contribute to social-emotional learning. The website does not give detailed structure (e.g., dedicated SEL lessons, names of staff or mapped progression) beyond these mentions.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school does not publicly disclose a detailed SEN policy or clearly defined categories of special educational needs supported. There is no accessible section on the website that lists staff dedicated to SEN, support tiers, or specialist facilities. Thus, it is not described as a specialist SEN institution.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school states that English language development is a key focus and offers a “Nexgen’s English Competency Programme (neo™)” in the Integrated Programme from Year 3 upwards. However, there is no publicly-published detailed EAL programme (for students whose first language is not English), such as small-group EAL classes, exit criteria, or specialist staff. Therefore, specific EAL provision cannot be verified beyond the stated focus on English competency.

Mental Wellbeing

No dedicated public page on the school website outlines mental-health programmes, counsellors or well-being initiatives by name. While character education (via the Virtues Programme) and leadership/outward-bound activities are featured, there is no clearly described mental-wellbeing support framework (e.g., counselling service, emotional-health workshops) available in the publicly accessible materials.

Safeguarding

Singapore International School @ Saigon South prioritises the welfare and safety of all students in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The campus incorporates safety measures such as CCTV and high-visibility classrooms. A school nurse, Guidance Counsellors, and designated Student Protection Officers are available for student support. Concerns about harm or neglect are reported to these contacts and referred to the Principal for follow-up. Students receive lessons on personal safety and protective behaviours through the Virtues Programme. All staff complete annual child protection training, and recruitment includes police background checks and reference verification.

At this stage, families can ask about placement-test requirements, class availability, and programme options (Integrated or International). The school provides guidance on which documents will be needed for a complete application.

2. Application Submission
Families must submit an application form along with the required documents, which typically include student identification, previous school reports, and health information. The school also requires payment of the placement test fee and registration fee upon application. Parents are advised to confirm deadlines and programme availability when submitting documents.

3. Placement Assessment
All new students are required to sit for a placement test, which helps the school determine readiness for the chosen programme and year level. The assessment is part of the compulsory admissions process and applies across both the Integrated and International Programmes. Families are informed of the testing schedule and assessment arrangements by the admissions team.

4. Offer of Placement
Once the school reviews assessment results and verifies documents, families may receive an offer of placement. The offer outlines the confirmed year level, programme, and deposit requirements. Parents must complete all required payments within the stated timeframe to secure the place.

5. Confirmation and Enrolment
To finalise enrolment, families complete any remaining administrative steps, such as submitting medical forms and confirming transportation arrangements if needed. The deposit becomes active only once all enrolment requirements are completed. The school provides orientation information to help new students prepare for their first day.

The school does not publicly disclose any scholarship programmes. There is no available information about academic, financial, or talent-based scholarships, nor any details regarding eligibility, application processes, or award conditions.

Located in the modern Hung Thang Urban & Service Area of Quang Ninh Province, the school sits on a 7.1-hectare site and serves both Vietnamese and international students. Its curriculum blends Singapore’s strengths in mathematics, science and English with the globally-recognised Cambridge Assessment International Education pathways (IGCSE and Cambridge AS/A Levels).

Stages

The school provides education across a continuous pathway from early years through to senior secondary: it begins with Pre-Nursery/Kindergarten, moves into Primary education, then Junior High and Senior High (up to Year 12).

Admissions

Step 1 — Understand the Integrated Programme and target year level. Singapore International School @ Can Tho offers an Integrated Programme that runs from Year 1 to Year 9 and is open to both Vietnamese and foreign students. The programme is designed to accommodate students entering Year 1 and continuing through Year 9. Placement into a specific year level is determined by the student's age, placement test results, and the number of available places in the class.

Step 2 — Gather required documents for enrolment (child) and for parents. For the child, assemble four passport-sized photos, the child's passport (one copy), a certified copy of the birth certificate, original or certified copies of previous school reports, and a Health Check Certificate with vaccination records. For Kindergarten to KIK students, include original vaccination records as applicable and an Accident Insurance Plan for the child if you choose to opt into the school's insurance. For parents, provide copies of a foreigner's passport or Vietnamese ID as appropriate. These documents are required to support enrolment into the Integrated Programme.

Step 3 — Submit the enrolment application and enter the placement process. Enrolment into the Integrated Programme depends on age-appropriate placement and the results of the placement test, together with available class vacancies. The school maintains class sizes in line with programme regulations to ensure the standard of teaching and learning. If the placement test results align with a vacant place, the enrolment process can proceed.

Step 4 — Understand how class placement and capacity affect admission. Grade level is decided after considering age, placement test results, and existing class vacancies. Class size is maintained in accordance with school regulations for each programme, which means admission depends on both the test outcomes and the availability of seats in the target class. This helps preserve teaching quality and student support.

Step 5 — Note sibling priority (if applicable). If parents already have one or more siblings studying at Can Tho SIS, priority will be given to a new sibling, subject to available places. Sibling priority does not override age/placement considerations or class vacancies, but it can influence placement decisions when seats are limited.

Step 6 — Final enrolment decision and next steps. Enrolment in the Integrated Programme is contingent on the age-appropriate placement, placement test results, and class vacancies, as well as the ability to fill the requested year level. Once these conditions are met, enrolment proceeds and the student begins the Integrated Programme in Year 1 or the appropriate year level. The school reserves the right to place students according to age, test outcomes, and seat availability.

Step 7 — Integrated Programme context and commencement. The Integrated Programme commences at Year 1 and extends to Year 9, providing a continuous pathway within the Can Tho SIS system. Families should plan for the start of the academic year according to the school calendar and any placement outcomes.

Scholarships

Scholarship programmes have been offered in the past at Singapore International School @ Can Tho. A 2022–2023 scholarship scheme provided 20 scholarships for Year 6 and Year 10 Integrated Programme entries, with two award levels: 90% or 70% of annual school fees, allocated across 10 Year-6 scholarships and 10 Year-10 scholarships.

Fees covered by the scholarship do not include Registration Fee, Deposit, or other non-fee items such as uniforms, textbooks, insurance, meals, or field trips.

There was also a Talent Scholarship programme in 2019 offering a limited number of scholarships for Year 4–Year 7 entrants, with scholarships covering a portion of school fees for the duration of study within the Integrated Programme, and with terms that limit eligibility, specify non-cash awards, and require maintenance of good conduct and academic performance.

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.
