Sedbergh Vietnam – BCIS is a Cambridge-influenced international bilingual school located at No 86 Road 23, Phu My Hung, in Ho Chi Minh City. Its roots trace back to the Bilingual Canadian International School, established in 2012, which later joined with Sedbergh School in a partnership announced in December 2022 to form Sedbergh Vietnam – BCIS. The school offers two study pathways: a bilingual program that combines MOET curriculum with IPC/IMYC and Cambridge English, and a Cambridge international pathway offering IGCSE and A Levels. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for local MOET graduation or international university entry, with a strong emphasis on a wide range of extracurricular activities. The campus supports more than 60 clubs, a six-house system, and a broad co-curricular program, alongside a school bus service for commuting families. The primary program covers Grades 1–5 and the secondary program covers Grades 6–12. The Head of School leads a leadership team that includes a Chief Academic Officer and vice principals for both primary and secondary divisions.
