Wellspring Saigon International Bilingual School is situated at 92 Nguyen Huu Canh Street in Ward 22, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. The campus lies within the Saigon Pearl residential area, a modern and well-connected neighborhood located just a few minutes from the city center. Its proximity to the Saigon River and key transport routes makes it convenient for families living in both central and suburban areas. The school will also open a new Saigon Pearl campus approximately 100 meters from the current site for the 2025–2026 academic year.
Wellspring Saigon offers a complete K–12 bilingual education structured across three main levels: Primary (Grades 1–5), Lower Secondary (Grades 6–9), and Upper Secondary (Grades 10–12). Each level integrates the Vietnamese national curriculum with international academic standards drawn from the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and Common Core. English is introduced as a core language of instruction from early primary, with an increasing number of subjects taught by international teachers as students advance through the school.
The school is a co-educational day school welcoming both Vietnamese and international students. It does not provide boarding facilities, allowing families to engage closely with their children’s daily learning and school activities. The environment encourages inclusivity, collaboration, and bilingual fluency across all year groups.
The school does not explicitly list specialized provisions or facilities for Special Educational Needs (SEN).
While Wellspring Saigon is a Vietnamese school, its international program follows the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, Common Core Standards, and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) from the United States. This approach provides a strong American academic foundation while maintaining alignment with Vietnamese educational requirements.
The school has no religious affiliations.
The school follows a full-day academic schedule from Monday to Friday. Although specific start and end times are not published online, the day typically includes core academic sessions in the morning followed by enrichment activities, clubs, or electives in the afternoon. Lunch and short breaks are built into the schedule to support student wellbeing and focus throughout the day.
Wellspring Saigon offers a comprehensive school bus service for students across Ho Chi Minh City. Families can choose between home pick-up or pre-arranged collection points. The service is managed by the school with trained drivers and accompanying staff to ensure safety and comfort during the journey.
