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. Submit Online Application Form
Families begin the process by completing the online application form on the school website and uploading the required documents, such as recent school reports and identification.
2. Entrance Assessment and Interview
Applicants take an entrance assessment and attend an interview with the Principal or Deputy Principal. This step allows the school to understand each student’s academic level and learning needs.
3. Offer of Place
Successful applicants receive a formal Letter of Offer confirming a place at the school.
4. Acceptance of Offer
Parents confirm acceptance by paying the required Acceptance Fee, securing the student’s place.
5. Tuition Fee Payment
Tuition fees are then paid in accordance with the Debit Note issued by the school, following the chosen payment plan.
The school states that demand for places is very high and “most year groups have a waiting list.” In other words, once offered and accepted places are filled, additional applicants may be placed on a wait-list until spaces become available. The school accepts applications year-round but advises early registration to avoid disappointment.
EIS offers a Merit Scholarship Programme for selected students. Scholarships can cover from 15% up to 100% of tuition fees (excluding field trips, exam fees and other direct costs). Eligibility is based on academic achievement, leadership, critical thinking and community engagement; students apply by submitting reports, certificates and an English placement test, followed by an interview. The scholarship is awarded after evaluation by a committee and is reviewed annually.
European International School (EIS) in Ho Chi Minh City offers the full IB continuum—PYP, MYP, and DP—for students aged 2–18 on a single, garden-style campus in Thao Dien. Instruction is in English, with additional languages including German, French, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Korean, and English support is available for non-native speakers. Families can use a professional school bus service serving nearby districts and the city centre. EIS currently enrolls 569 students and highlights small class teaching with a low student-to-teacher ratio. Beyond academics, learners join After-School Activities and ECAs across arts, sport, and interest areas; notable student leadership includes the Ecobrick Saigon sustainability project. Leadership is shared by Co-Heads of School Jo Roberts and Ben Armstrong.
