IS HCMC represents a culturally diverse group of students and teachers come from all over the world for over 30 years experience, our kindergarten students (2 – 4 Years Old) builds a strong foundation in social, communication, thinking, and research skills.
Our belief at IS HCMC is that play-based learning is the most effective method for our youngest learners. By creating an ideal learning environment with engaging physical experiences, students at kindergarten and Grade 1 level are empowered to interact with their surroundings and each other, fostering engagement and empowerment. We also recognize the importance of allowing children to explore and interact with their natural environment and other people, as this lays the cognitive foundation for future development in areas such as problem-solving, math, and writing skills.
At IS HCMC we believe that our youngest learners learn best through play. We feel that allowing students to touch, smell, hear and interact with the natural environment and other people helps to lay down the cognitive wiring that will eventually lead to our students to hold a pencil, climb a tree, reason through a math problem and problem solve.
Our major focus is the development of skills and attitudes that each child needs to be successful as learners: social, self-management, communication, thinking and research skills, to name a few.
Our purpose built, world-class campus is designed for learning and enables every student, every day to flourish and achieve. Collaborative learning areas with wide corridors and break-out spaces promote wellbeing, facilitate teamwork amongst our learners.

The International School of Ho Chi Minh City (IS HCMC) is proud to be the first international school in Ho Chi Minh City.

In the early years and lower primary, we support hands-on learning through play as part of all inquiries, and through this play, students can inquire into many things like the natural world, physical laws, organization skills, social interactions and more. During play learners are constructing and testing theories in addition to observing and drawing conclusions. By using play activities teachers initiate a range of intentional queries, provocations, challenges and learning engagements. The teachers then document, monitor and further challenge students to form new theories or draw conclusions, and also provide support or feedback when needed. All parties are active members of the play to bring learning into a student’s world.
An IB education is unique because of its rigorous academic standards and its holistic approach to education. IB programmes challenge students to excel not only in their learning but also in their personal growth. The IB and The International School of Ho Chi Minh City believes that together we can help to prepare students for living in a complex, highly interconnected world.
Students learn in modern environments by trained IB educators specializing in concept-driven and inquiry-based learning that is facilitated through constructivist pedagogy. There are 200+ experienced IB educators at The International School of Ho Chi Minh City.
