Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Initial enquiry
Families begin by submitting an online enquiry form through the BIS HCMC website. The Admissions Team contacts parents within one working day to discuss availability, school programmes, and next steps. Families are encouraged to book a campus tour, which can be conducted in person or virtually.
2. Campus tour
Prospective families are invited to visit the Junior Campus to meet staff, view classrooms, and understand the school’s curriculum. Tours are personalised, giving parents insight into daily life and facilities.
3. Application submission
Parents complete the online application form and provide supporting documents, including copies of the child’s birth certificate or passport, school reports (if applicable), and any learning support documentation. The Application Fee of VND 4,700,000 is payable at this stage.
4. Assessment and review
Each child undergoes an age-appropriate assessment to determine their academic readiness and language level. The school also reviews past reports and teacher recommendations to ensure appropriate placement.
5. Offer and enrolment
Successful applicants receive a formal Offer Letter from the Admissions Office. A student’s place is confirmed once parents sign the acceptance form and pay the Registration Fee and Security Deposit.
6. Orientation and start
Before term begins, families receive information about class placement, uniform requirements, and school transport options. New students are invited to attend orientation sessions to help them settle in smoothly.
The school operates a waitlist system when year groups reach full capacity. Applications are held on file and reviewed as spaces become available, with priority given to siblings of current students and children of returning families.
The school does not publicly offer or list any scholarships for the Junior Campus or Primary level. All admissions are fee-based, and there are no academic or financial aid programmes currently advertised by BIS HCMC for this stage.
The Junior Campus at BIS HCMC serves primary students in Thao Dien, about 15 minutes from District 1. Teaching follows the English National Curriculum with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), delivered in English with French, Spanish, Mandarin, and Vietnamese taught as languages. Primary classes typically have 20–24 students. Students choose from a wide CCA programme organised into Music/Productions, Arts/Activities/Language, STEAM/Technology, Community, Sports, and Food Technology, with examples ranging from Book Club and Junior String Orchestra to team sports. The campus connects by private bridge to the Secondary Campus, supporting smooth transition to later years.
