British Vietnamese International School in Ho Chi Minh City, commonly referred to as BVIS HCMC, is a bilingual international school in Vietnam, and the only bilingual school in Vietnam that is fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS). [1] The school is also a member of the FOBISIA group of schools, and is part of the Nord Anglia Education Group. [2]
BVIS educates children at preschool, primary and secondary level. The school uses the English National Curriculum with modules from the Vietnamese curriculum that are believed to be particularly strong: Vietnamese Literature, History and Geography. [3]
BVIS was officially established in August 2011 after the success of its sister school the British International School which was established in 1997. [4]
