Singapore International School Ciputra Campus offers two study pathways: the International Programme (IP) and the Integrated Programme (IPG). The curriculum is structured around three internationally recognised benchmarks: iPSLE at the end of Year 6, Cambridge IGCSE in Years 9–10, and Cambridge AS/A Levels in Years 11–12. The International Programme places a strong emphasis on English, provides Chinese language study, and develops soft skills through Western curriculum elements, ICT and e-learning, plus a School-wide Virtues Programme. The Integrated Programme also uses English as the primary language while offering Chinese and Vietnamese, and it shares the same focus on ICT, soft skills, and the Virtues Programme. Assessments are conducted with formal reporting twice a year and end-of-semester exams for core subjects; iPSLE is administered by SEAB and Cambridge IGCSE/AS/A Levels are Cambridge qualifications in the later years. The school is accredited as a Cambridge International Education Centre.

Singapore International School at Ciputra supports Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through a Virtues Programme embedded in the curriculum, which fosters character traits such as integrity and teamwork. The school also runs outdoor learning experiences with Outward Bound Vietnam to build resilience, collaboration, and leadership skills. These initiatives aim to cultivate social awareness, empathy, and positive relationships among students. In addition, classroom practices and extracurricular activities are aligned to promote students' emotional well-being and social development. Staff engagement in SEL is evidenced by integration of Virtues and outdoor programs across the student experience.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision. There is no explicit description of a dedicated SEN unit or staff such as learning support or an SEN coordinator in available materials. The emphasis in publicly available materials is on international curriculum pathways and general student welfare rather than specialist SEN services.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision. Public materials describe SIS Ciputra as delivering an English-language international program within the Singapore-Cambridge framework, but no explicit EAL program or staff details are stated.

Mental wellbeing is supported through SEL-related initiatives such as the Virtues Programme and Outdoor Learning experiences, which foster resilience, empathy and social skills. Outdoor learning experiences with Outward Bound Vietnam are designed to develop teamwork and leadership in real-world settings. The school provides access to on-site health support and safeguarding resources, including a school nurse, to support student wellbeing. Together, these elements contribute to a holistic approach to students' mental wellbeing.

The safeguarding framework prioritizes child protection and student welfare. All staff participate in annual student protection training. Designated Student Protection Contacts report concerns to the Principal, with a collaborative approach involving parents and external support services as needed. An on-site school nurse provides health support, and a school-wide Virtues programme includes lessons on personal safety and protective behaviours.

1. Inquiry and campus discovery. Prospective families begin by submitting an Enquiry Form for the Singapore International School Ciputra campus to introduce their child's details and interests. Open Day events are held to present both the International Programme (taught entirely in English) and the Integrated Programme, providing a campus tour and opportunity to meet staff and learn about offerings. Contact and campus location details for the Ciputra Hanoi campus are provided so families can plan a visit or call for more information.

2. Submit the formal enquiry/application and gather information. After the initial inquiry, families proceed by filling out the Enquiry Form on the SIS Ciputra site to share child and parent details and preferences. The form collects information such as date of birth, current grade, programme choice, and contact details, enabling the school to tailor the admissions steps. The school also provides a way to choose the Ciputra campus and other SIS campuses for reference.

3. Review Admissions Policy and Requirements. The Ciputra admissions section includes an Admission Policy / Requirements page that outlines the framework for eligibility and the criteria used to assess applicants. Families should review the documented policy and gather the required documents as directed by the school's guidelines. This step ensures awareness of any program-specific criteria before proceeding.

4. Placement test (for International Programme applicants). For the International Programme, a placement test is used in the admissions process, with a Placement Test Fee of 2,940,000 VND per student. This assessment helps determine appropriate placement within the International Programme structures. If applicable, the fee is paid as part of the admissions process.

5. Offer, register, and pay compulsory fees (International Programme) or the relevant programme fees (Integrated Kindergarten). If admission is offered, families must pay the Registration Fee for the International Programme (VND 21,500,000 per student) and a Deposit (VND 15,000,000 per student). For Integrated Kindergarten, a Registration Fee (VND 3,225,000) and a Deposit (VND 16,000,000) apply. These payments are part of confirming enrollment and securing a seat.

6. Enrollment and fee schedule. Upon enrollment, families choose a fee-payment option (Yearly or Termly) and follow the schedule requiring payment 30 days before the first day of school for the yearly plan or the respective term deadlines for term plans. The school provides a clear payment framework and the first day of school is tied to the agreed payment schedule. Additional costs such as meals, insurance, uniforms, stationery, and transport may apply and are detailed in the respective fees annexes.

7. Final enrollment steps (on-campus requirements). After fees are settled and the enrollment is confirmed, families should note that insurance, uniforms, and stationery are typically addressed through the school office, and meals may be included (as applicable to the Integrated Kindergarten Programme). The Ciputra campus provides contact details for ongoing support and clarifications during the enrollment process.

Scholarships are advertised for SIS Ciputra events, with scholarships up to 25,000,000 Vietnamese dong noted during Open Day promotional materials. The Open Day materials indicate a scholarship opportunity alongside the Integrated and International Programmes (both 100% in English for the International Programme).

The SIS Ciputra campus operates on rolling admissions, with applications considered year-round based on seat availability. There is no publicly published, formal waitlist policy; admissions decisions are described as occurring “depending on availability,” and families may be advised as space opens. For families seeking enrollment when seats are limited, this rolling approach means ongoing consideration rather than a fixed waitlist timetable.
