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.
EIS uses the SEE (Social, Emotional, and Ethical Learning) programme developed by Emory University across K–12, which supports emotional and social intelligence in students and staff. In each classroom students take part in a daily “emotion check-in” to reflect on how they are feeling and teachers offer quick support when needed. There are “calm corners” in classrooms, breathing-exercises and guided meditations to help students self-regulate.
The school states that it supports students with English as an additional language in the Middle School section. However, the school does not publicly disclose full details of a dedicated SEN department or the kinds of special educational needs (SEN) it can support, so it should not be considered a specialist SEN institution.
The school states that it offers English language support to non-native English speakers, without detailing the specific programme structure or dedicated EAL staff.
The school indicates that the intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of students is a key part of its mission, but it does not provide publicly detailed information on specific mental-health programmes, dedicated counselling staff or structured wellbeing protocols.
EIS explicitly states that it is “committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people” and that safe recruitment and background checks are carried out for all employees and volunteers.
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.
