KEY STAGE 3 CURRICULUM (YEARS 7-9)

At the British International School Ho Chi Minh City, our 11 to 14-year-olds (Years 7-9) follow Key Stage 3 of the English National Curriculum. In Year 10, they move into Key Stage 4 and study for their IGCSEs. 

At Key Stage 3, learning is personalised to ensure it is relevant, holistic, and allows each student to flourish. For the first time in their education students will be taught across all lessons by our subject specialist teachers. They encourage our students to take control of their learning, think analytically, and solve problems.

We also teach Vietnamese at three levels so that every child can immerse themselves in local culture and traditions.

While our Secondary Campus is just across the street from our Junior Campus, we know that moving into Year 7 can make students feel both excited and apprehensive. That's why we run a bespoke transition support programme which starts in Year 6.

Your child will visit the secondary campus, meet their teachers and collaborate and learn from Transition Ambassadors (current Year 7 students). We also have a dedicated Advice, Support and Counselling (ASC) team and student prefects, who will guide them through their first few terms.

Innovation flourishes on our state-of-the-art Secondary Campus, where the next generation of artists, athletes, performers, scientists, and mathematicians hone their skills.

Cutting-edge interactive technology enriches learning in our design labs, robotics room, and classrooms. And in our sports facilities and inspirational creative spaces, which include a professional auditorium, every student is encouraged to express themselves.
