Choosing an international school in Vietnam

Curricula

There are 20 international schools in Vietnam covering 14 curricula. The most widely offered are IB (DP) (14), IB (PYP) (8), IB (MYP) (7), British Curriculum (6), Cambridge IGCSE (6). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.

Admissions & timing

Sought-after schools in Vietnam run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.

Boarding

How doris stays impartial

doris lists every international school in Vietnam we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
