The preschool curriculum emphasizes children’s PIES development — Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social — which forms part of the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) framework. Through play-based learning and structured group activities, children develop social skills such as sharing, communication, and self-regulation. The school’s approach is integrated within daily routines rather than delivered as a separate SEL programme. Teachers model positive relationships and provide emotional support to help children adjust to classroom settings. The school does not publicly disclose additional SEL-specific staff or standalone emotional-learning initiatives.
The school does not publicly disclose detailed SEN provision on its website. Admissions information notes that an offer of placement is made only when the school determines that existing programmes and facilities can meet a child’s educational needs. Children may undergo a developmental or readiness assessment before admission. There is no indication that the school functions as a specialist SEN institution, nor is there mention of dedicated SEN staff or tailored intervention programmes.
The school provides EAL support as part of its academic structure. For students aged five and above, English proficiency is assessed using the Oxford Young Learners Placement Test; for younger learners, language ability is observed during trial classes and ongoing classroom interaction. The school’s curriculum is delivered primarily in English, and additional assistance is available through differentiated classroom strategies. EAL development is integrated into daily lessons rather than through a separate programme.
The school website does not publicly disclose a formal mental well-being programme or counselling service for preschool students. Routine care for children is incorporated into the daily schedule, including structured playtime, meal breaks, rest periods, and a nut-free food policy. Teachers are responsible for maintaining a nurturing classroom environment to support children’s comfort and security. No dedicated wellbeing staff or mental-health policies are listed online.
Anne Hill International School publishes a Child Protection Policy that outlines the school’s duty to safeguard students from harm and promote safe learning environments. The policy commits to preventing maltreatment, ensuring children’s health and development, and taking prompt action to secure their welfare. It specifies that all staff are responsible for maintaining vigilance and that the school encourages children to voice concerns. The policy applies across all school levels and aligns with local child-protection standards.
Anne Hill International School’s Preschool Campus in Thu Đức City (HCMC) welcomes children 18 months to 5 years into Playgroup, Nursery, and Kindergarten classes.

Facilities highlighted for early years include an eco-garden, library, canteen, outdoor playground, swimming pool, and water play area. Families can choose half-day (8:15–12:30) or full-day (to 17:00) programmes, with optional after-school care until 18:00 and an optional school bus serving nearby neighborhoods. The language of instruction is English, with Mandarin and Vietnamese offered as second languages. Co-curricular options for preschoolers include English Fun Learning, Art, Outdoor Sports & Games, Cheer Dance, Piano, Roller Blang, and Chess.
