Odyssey International School (OIS)

Odyssey International School was established in Da Nang–Hoi An, central Vietnam, with the goal of offering an international IB-aligned education for both local and expatriate families. The school is privately owned and operated under the name Odyssey International School Company Limited. Since its founding, the school has developed a purpose-built campus on a 14,000 m² site in Sentosa City Urban Area, serving Early Years through Secondary levels. It became a candidate school for the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) as part of its long-term plan to offer a full IB continuum.

The Odyssey community includes both international and Vietnamese families, with a focus on collaboration between parents, teachers, and students. The school regularly hosts cultural festivals, art performances, and community service projects, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of its students. Events such as school plays, sustainability days, and cultural celebrations encourage participation and help families engage with the broader school community.

While the school website does not name a formal “PTA,” it highlights active parent involvement through open communication channels, family events, and collaborative school initiatives. Parents are invited to attend student exhibitions, school plays, and cultural celebrations, which serve as informal community gatherings. The school encourages parent feedback through direct contact with teachers and leadership, and parents often assist in organizing community projects and charity drives. These engagements foster a close partnership between families and staff, ensuring a shared investment in student wellbeing and school development.
