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.
MIS operates across three campuses in Ho Chi Minh City: Thao Dien Campus at 42/1 Ngo Quang Huy Street in Thao Dien, River House Campus at 177/8 Nguyen Van Huong Street, and Binh An Campus at No 5, Street 10, An Khanh Ward. The Thao Dien site is near international residential communities and is about a 15-minute drive from Binh Thanh District and District 1, making it accessible for both locals and expatriates. The River House Campus sits along the Saigon River in Thao Dien, close to key expat areas, with Vinhomes Central Park about a 12-minute drive away and District 1 roughly 20 minutes by car. The Binh An Campus is located in An Phu, just across the Ha Noi Highway from Thao Dien, serving expatriate and Vietnamese families in the wards of Binh An, An Phu and Thao Dien.
MIS provides three early-years program bands: Infant and Toddler (below 18 months), Nursery (18-36 months), and Kindergarten/Primary/Children's House (3–6 years) at the Thao Dien and River House campuses. A Vietnamese Montessori program operates at the Binh An Campus. The school also offers Pre-enrolment Programmes, Enrichment Programmes and After-school Activities, and Extended Hours.
MIS operates as an international Montessori school with campuses in Ho Chi Minh City and offers extended hours and after-school care; it is described as an international school and provides transportation options. There is no indication of boarding facilities in MIS offerings.
EAL (English as an Additional Language) is offered to support non-native English speakers. At Thao Dien, English is the primary language of communication; River House also uses English as the main language with some additional languages introduced. At Binh An, Vietnamese is the primary language, with English and Mandarin introduced during the day. MIS notes that it provides such language supports alongside its Montessori program.
The MIS campuses are based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. There is no country-specific affiliation beyond its Vietnam location and its status as an international Montessori school.
Religious affiliation is not listed in MIS materials.
Typical day structure varies by campus. Official school-day information indicates start times around 8:00 and end times around 16:30 for Thao Dien and River House, with Binh An finishing around 17:00; supervised care before and after school is available, and school buses operate as well.
A MIS school bus service is available to support families; routes and arrangements are coordinated by MIS. The service is listed as available in MIS materials and third-party references, with general confirmation that transportation is provided to support families.
Application fees
- No fixed application, registration or admission fee is published on the school's public admissions information.
Tuition fees (by year group / term / typical billing units)
- The Montessori International School of Vietnam does not publish a detailed per-year-group or per-term fee schedule on its public pages. Available public listings give ranges rather than a program-by-program breakdown.
- No authoritative published breakdown by specific class (Infant/Toddler, Nursery, Kindergarten/Primary) or per‑term invoices was found in the school's public materials. Where prospective families list figures online, those figures appear as overall monthly or annual ranges rather than per‑term line items.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school's publicly available admissions information does not include a published billing schedule or detailed payment terms (for example: exact due dates, accepted late‑payment penalties, or term/annual payment discounts). Public directories that list fees show monthly or annual totals but do not provide a confirmed MIS billing calendar.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding is not applicable. MIS operates as an early‑years and primary day school (infant/toddler, nursery, kindergarten/primary programmes) and does not advertise boarding provision.
Other costs or fees (uniforms, meals, transport, extras)
- No uniform fee, standard book/supplies charge, or official list of miscellaneous fees is published in the school's public admissions pages.
- Local school directories and parent listings for MIS indicate typical additional items that families commonly pay at preschools in the area, such as meals/food, before/after‑school care, late‑pickup charges and bus/transport services; those sources list these as potential extras but do not show a confirmed MIS fee table for each item.
Refund information
- No publicly posted refund policy, enrollment deposit refund terms, or tuition refund schedule was found in the school's public admissions materials.
Fee payment options
- The school's public admissions information does not list the accepted payment methods (for example bank transfer, credit card or cheque) or the payment recipients/account details. Public fee listings for MIS provide amounts but do not state definitive payment channels.
Located in the An Phu ward of Thu Duc City, the Binh An Campus of the Montessori International School of Vietnam distinguishes itself by using Vietnamese as the primary language of instruction. This campus uniquely integrates the authentic Montessori method with the curriculum requirements of the Vietnam Ministry of Education and Training. While the core instruction is in Vietnamese, students are also introduced to English and Mandarin Chinese throughout the week. The facility is designed with specific attention to environmental comfort, featuring classrooms equipped with air purifiers. A notable highlight of this campus is its spacious outdoor garden, which spans over 100 square meters. This area includes a sandpit surrounded by trees, plants, and wooden decking, providing a natural setting for children to explore. The campus caters specifically to families living in the Binh An and An Phu areas who seek a Montessori education within a Vietnamese linguistic framework.
