• What makes BVIS different from other international schools?

  At BVIS, we are very proud to be a one-of-a-kind school, offering the English National Curriculum, delivering the same teaching approach in both English and Vietnamese during the Foundations stage and Primary years. In secondary stage, students are required to receive 80% to 93% of their instruction in English, with most subjects are taught in English while Vietnamese Literature remains priority.  
• What is the purpose of the Application fee?

  The Application Fee includes the administrative expenses of the entrance assessment process carried out by BVIS teachers. We receive numerous enrollment inquiries each year, so completing this fee will help the school better understand the demand for your child's education at BVIS from your family. 
• How long does the admissions process to take?

  The time from when parents start contacting the Admissions Department until BVIS sends the enrollment invitation to the family will not exceed 2 weeks. This depends on the enrollment decision made by the parents. 
• What is the purpose of paying the Deposit Fee?

  Prestigious international schools recruit teaching staff directly from abroad, involving a time-consuming and costly process. This procedure starts in Oct each year, and the school requires an initial financial investment to ensure that qualified teachers will work formally afterward. Therefore, we need families to confirm their students' continuation for the next academic year through a deposit communicated 90 days in advance. This deposit fee is intended to offset a portion of the additional recruitment costs for new teachers in the event that students leave the school without prior notice or with delayed notice. The application of a deposit fee is a common practice and is accepted in international schools worldwide.

When the child leaves at the end of any term, the 90 day period shall be counted up to the last school day of that term only.
