ABOUT International School Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
As the first and most established International School in Ho Chi Minh City, ISHCMC has developed an IB program to form a minimum foundation for preparing our students for the challenges posed by the 21st century.
At ISHCMC it is essential that students are energized, engaged and empowered through their educational experience and learning.
With over 50 nationalities represented, each individual has an exceptional opportunity to develop an understanding of, and appreciation for, the philosophies of people from many different cultures.
As a committed IB school ISHCMC encourages a balance between academic achievement and the development of the whole child. Learning and individual student growth in a safe and caring environment is at the centre of all that we do as a school. Students across all grade levels set goals and teachers track individual student academic progress.
To support students in reaching their full potential and becoming independent and self-reliant individuals ISHCMC allocates daily time for mindfulness, encourages positive emotions, has social and emotional counselors and other specialist student support services teachers. Beyond the classroom there are genuine opportunities for students to develop artistic, cultural, sporting, creative, outdoor and leadership skills that will serve them well today, as well as going forward into the future.
