It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The campus lies in the eastern suburb of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly District 2) and serves families living in the area, including neighbourhoods such as Thao Dien/An Phu via the school bus service. It is accessible from major roads linking to the city centre and the new Thu Duc City urban district.
The Primary School covers Years 1 to 6, designed for children aged approximately 5 to 11 years. Children join Year 1 at around age 5 and continue through to Year 6 before moving on to secondary schooling elsewhere.
The school operates as a co-educational day school, meaning both boys and girls attend, and the campus does not provide boarding facilities. Students attend classes during the day and return home at the end of the school session.
The school provides EAL (English as an Additional Language) support from age 5 onwards, with assessments via the Oxford Young Learners Placement Test to determine levels. However, detailed public information about a full Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision (such as specialist teachers or dedicated facilities) is not fully published on the website for the upcoming academic year.
The school does not state a formal affiliation with any specific country’s national education system; instead, it follows international curricula (Cambridge Primary and IPC) while also meeting Vietnamese national requirements.
There is no religious affiliation mentioned on the school website; the school presents itself as a secular international school.
For the Primary School, the standard day runs from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. After-school activities (CCAs) typically begin around 3:00 pm. The full schedule, including term dates and breaks, is published in the Parent–Student Handbook.
