British International School HCMC - Junior Campus

The Junior Campus is located at 225 Nguyen Van Huong Street, Thao Dien, Thu Duc City, about 15 minutes from central District 1. The area is a popular residential hub for expatriate families, with easy access to international supermarkets, cafés, and housing. The campus is connected to the Secondary Campus by a private pedestrian bridge and is close to main transport routes across the Saigon Bridge.

The Junior Campus provides education for students in the Primary stage, representing the middle years between the Early Years & Infant and Secondary campuses. Learning builds on early foundations with a focus on developing core skills, creativity, and independence through the English National Curriculum and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC).

The Junior Campus is a co-educational day school.

The school provides Additional Educational Needs (AEN) and English as an Additional Language (EAL) support for students who need extra help. Support includes small-group interventions, targeted instruction, and collaboration with class teachers. The school is not a specialist SEN institution but accommodates a range of mild to moderate learning needs within its mainstream setting.

The school follows the British curriculum and is part of Nord Anglia Education, a UK-based global schools group.

The school does not have any religious affiliations.

The school day begins at 7:50 a.m. with registration and ends at 2:30 p.m. Co-curricular clubs and sports sessions take place after lessons. Breaks are scheduled mid-morning and at lunchtime, providing time for socialising, eating, and outdoor play.

BIS HCMC provides a school bus service serving multiple districts across the city. Each bus is supervised by trained staff who assist students during pick-up and drop-off. The service is centrally coordinated by the school’s transport office, with routes reviewed regularly to meet family needs.
