The Shattuck-St. Mary's International School Vietnam provides a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program based on the CASEL framework. The program aims to help students understand and manage their emotions, build meaningful relationships, and make responsible, empathetic decisions. Outcomes include strong emotional intelligence, improved interpersonal skills, and resilience that support learning and overall wellbeing. SEL is implemented across Kindergarten, Elementary, and Secondary levels and is connected with After School Activities and other student-life initiatives. Counseling services are available as part of the school's holistic student-support ecosystem.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision. There is no SEN policy or listed SEN facilities in publicly accessible materials. The school is not described as a specialist SEN institution. As a result, it is not clear which kinds of SEN the school can support or how such support would be delivered. If you require SEN information, please request the most current official statements from the admissions office.

Evidence of English as an Additional Language (EAL) support exists in the staff roster. The Our Team listing includes an English Language Learners role and English Language Arts (ELA) teachers among the faculty. Examples include an English Language Learners position and ELA teaching roles. This indicates that EAL support is integrated into the teaching model. Detailed public descriptions of an EAL program are not published.

Mental wellbeing is addressed through the SEL program, which is CASEL-based. The Health Center is on campus and staffed by licensed nurses who provide immediate care and coordinate health protocols during campus events, contributing to students' physical and mental wellbeing. Health policies include weather and air-quality guidelines, management of food allergies, and procedures for illness during the day. Counseling is listed as a student-life resource, and a guidance counselor appears among the staff, indicating formal mental-health support within the school. Together, SEL, counseling, and on-site health services form a holistic approach to student wellbeing.

Public safeguarding and child-protection policies are not publicly disclosed. The Health Center emphasizes health and safety measures, including weather and air-quality guidelines, food-allergy protocols, and illness procedures, as part of safeguarding the school community. Media reports in January 2026 indicate Hai Phong authorities ordered Shattuck-St. Mary's Vietnam to stop enrollment and halt educational activities pending licensing. The same reports note enrollments occurred without official decisions approving establishment or operation. The regulatory status raised questions about safeguarding and student protections during this transitional period.

1. Inquiry and initial contact. Prospective families express interest by submitting an inquiry form, and the Admissions Team will reach out to provide program details and next steps. The school communicates that admissions operate on a rolling basis with no fixed application deadline, so space is allocated as applications are received; however, submitting early is strongly encouraged to improve the chance of placement.

3) Admissions assessment and admission decision. Applicants undergo assessments (including English and math-related evaluations) along with review of academic records and letters of recommendation; the Admissions Team and Principal determine eligibility and whether to offer admission. As part of the 2025-2026 offerings, the school introduced a Tuition Grant that reduces tuition by 50% for eligible students in Grades 1–10 for the 2025-2026 school year; this program is not available concurrently with other financial aid or scholarships. After a successful admission offer, a seat-hold deposit is required to confirm enrollment (details below). The 2025-2026 tuition and related costs are substantial and vary by program, with day and boarding options influencing total annual costs.

2) Application submission and documents. After the inquiry, families complete an application form and provide supporting documents as part of the admissions process. The school emphasizes a streamlined, document-driven review process, with rolling admissions continuing year-round as long as space remains. There is no formal waitlist published; admissions are handled on a space-available basis and on a rolling basis.
