Introduction
King’s College International School Ho Chi Minh City brings the heritage of King’s College School Wimbledon—one of the top-performing schools in the UK—to Vietnam. Opening in August 2027, the school provides an education for students aged 2 to 18, following the British curriculum through to IGCSE and A Level qualifications. The campus is designed to support the "Three Pillars" philosophy: balancing academic depth with equal emphasis on the performing arts and sports.
Prospective parents can expect a learning environment that mirrors the Wimbledon model, including specialized teaching in music and languages from the early years. A unique feature of the school is its "Life at 25" initiative, a signature program that focuses on the long-term development of students. This initiative moves beyond immediate exam results to prioritize mentorship and the acquisition of specific skills—such as collaborative problem-solving and public speaking—needed for professional success in adulthood.

King's College International School Ho Chi Minh City teaches IB (DP), Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A Levels for students aged 6 to 18.
Curriculum
The school follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for children in Pre-Nursery through Reception, focusing on physical, social, and emotional development. From Year 1 to Year 9, the curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum, adapted to include local perspectives and specialized subjects like Music and Mandarin. Students in Year 10 and 11 work toward Cambridge IGCSE qualifications, which provide a broad academic foundation across various disciplines. For the final two years in the Sixth Form (Year 12 and 13), pupils specialize by choosing Cambridge A Levels to prepare for university entry. This structured pathway ensures a consistent academic progression from early childhood through to graduation. The educational model is further supported by the "Three Pillars" approach, which integrates sports and performing arts as core components of the weekly schedule for all students.
