What are the schools in Ho Chi Minh City like?

"Ho Chi Minh City is home to a number of excellent international and bilingual schools. The British International School (BIS) is one of the most highly regarded international schools in the city. It offers a British-style curriculum and is accredited by the Council of International Schools. The school has a strong focus on academic excellence and provides a wide range of extracurricular activities. The International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) is another top international school in the city. It offers an American-style curriculum and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The school has a strong emphasis on developing global citizens and provides a wide range of extracurricular activities. The French International School (FIS) is a bilingual school that offers a French-style curriculum. It is accredited by the French Ministry of Education and has a strong focus on developing bilingual students. The school also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities," commented one expat when asked about in Ho Chi Minh City.

"The school is a good school (at the moment probably the best in HCMC). Nevertheless, as a BIS parent you must be willing to provide extra time/support for your child(ren) in order to sustain your child's learning so that the transition to your home country/new country is assured," remarked one expat living in Ho Chi Minh City with children attending British International School, Vietnam.
