Headmaster's Welcome

Welcome to the website of the International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC).

ISHCMC is a school with a long tradition of providing high quality education while fostering a holistic approach to learning.  Our vision of holistic education provides genuine opportunities for our students to develop artistic, cultural, sporting, aesthetic and leadership skills that will serve them well today as well as going forward into the future.  The twin aims of high academic standards and a holistic approach to education will not change, rather they will be polished and honed so that our students can aspire to be the citizens of the world that they wish to be and to contribute to a better tomorrow.

Our website will enable you to quickly gain an understanding of the stimulating, enjoyable and productive learning environment we have been able to build at ISHCMC.  We hope that you will appreciate that we are linking education with an understanding and knowledge of different cultures.  In this manner we want to enable empathy to be a part of the social fabric of our world and we are working to not only to educate our students at ISHCMC but to also develop their humanity.

Whether you are a current member of the ISHCMC community or a new family that is seeking information to make the best decision about an international school for your child, we hope this website will be a useful source of information.  I would also invite you to freely address any questions to our teachers and administrators.  We are here to work with you and welcome you as partners in the exciting series of learning adventures that is international education.

Sincerely,
 
Jeff Wornstaff
Acting Headmaster
