What are the schools in Vietnam like?
When we asked about the schools in Vietnam, they said...
"It is small, about 300 kids, but the great thing about it is the close sense of community and the school's open door policy. I would say that 90% of the teachers are excellent and well qualified. Once in a while there will be one or two that fall through the cracks. You just need to watch out for those. This is common in ALL schools anywhere!!," remarked one parent with kids at Hanoi International School in Hanoi.
"The school is a good school (at the moment probably the best in HCMC). Nevertheless, as a BIS parent you must be willing to provide extra time/support for your child(ren) in order to sustain your child's learning so that the transition to your home country/new country is assured," explained one expat living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
