Welcome Message

Dear Parents,

I am very pleased to be the first person to welcome you to our school community, and in my role as Admissions Coordinator, I will be your first point of contact. Our school accepts students from age 2 to age 18, and we provide an exciting range of activities to keep students interested in school life, and motivated to learn.

I am confident that our school offers the finest education available in HCMC, and is the obvious choice for ensuring that your child succeeds at the very highest levels. For your peace of mind, I encourage you to ask as many questions as you like, and take as much time as you need in order to evaluate our school. I stand ready to assist you with any questions you may have about us.

All schools are different, and each has their own guiding principles. Our school is exceptionally unique in HCMC in that our two core fundamental guiding principles are; fostering individual ability ; the development of the whole child. We provide a warm, caring and safe environment for students.

Our commitment to excellence is evident in all areas of school life. We are a fully accredited member of the Council of International Schools (CIS) and New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC), which means that we have opened our school to the scrutiny of external educational experts, and have been admitted entry to the world’s most prestigious accrediting agency, in company with the finest international schools in the world. Other areas where our commitment to quality is evident include: The highly respected IB curriculum offered through all grades ; Low student to staff ratio ; Certified, quality teachers.

ISHCMC has been serving the HCMC community for 17 years, and is the quality school of choice for many large organisations and diplomatic missions. Demand for places in our school is very high, and waiting lists exist in some grade levels. For this reason, I would encourage you to complete the application process as early as possible to avoid possible disappointment.

We welcome your visit, so please contact the admissions office for a personal appointment with me and a school tour. I look forward to welcoming you into our international school family in the very near future.

Ms. Christine Byrne
Coordinator of Admissions & Marketing
