The IELP curriculum uses the same framework as the mainstream International School of HCMC Middle Years Program (MYP), with an Emphasis on English Proficiency

While instruction is modified to meet the needs of students at varying stages of English language acquisition, the content of each lesson remains at the same high standard found in mainstream classes.

Students receive daily individualized feedback in the form of classroom projects, homework, quizzes, and tests in order to accurately monitor progress. A variety of online tools are also utilized, designed to effectively track improvements in the key skills of English reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

We understand that many students who are not native English speakers may find it difficult to study in an international school with an entirely English curriculum. Some students can find it daunting for a low-level English student to adapt to school life communicating with teachers and classmates who are from other nationalities

Most importantly, every student is given the opportunity to engage with the broader  International School Ho Chi Minh City community. This includes involvement in co-curricular activities (CCAs), drama productions, music and athletics as part of the program requirement.
