Welcome to Admissions

When we moved to Vietnam from Australia, our daughter had been at a small, child centred school and it was important to find a good fit. The European International School was perfect with its warm, friendly village feel. As Sage was still young, seven at the time, a nurturing, creative and inclusive environment was essential to her well being. We found this at EIS and it has continued to be so, Sage is now in her fourth year. The Primary Years Program was also a big drawcard for us as it is an internationally available program that Sage can continue on with when we move home. Parent involvement is encouraged, whether it be as a class parent representative, member of the Parents Council, community events or in the classroom. We have always found our ideas, concerns and opinions can be voiced and heard. I love that Sage has had the opportunity to be exposed to different cultures both through fellow students, teachers and also learning a second language. Although the facilities are limited at EIS, Sage has been able to join the choir and swim team which has competed internationally. The size of the school really allows opportunities for students which they may otherwise not have and is continually looking for ways to involve students, parents and teachers in school life.

こんにちは。新しいホームページのEISについての「家族の言葉」をかいてみたのですが、色々書きたいことがあり過ぎて最初は350文字くらいになってしまい、文字数減らしたのですが260文字くらいあります。。200文字以下にしたほうがいいでしょうか？その場合はまた文字数減らします。私たち家族が学校を決める上で重要視した事がIBスクールであること、規模が大きすぎないこと、学校見学の時に子供自身の学校についての印象が良い事でした。それらにピッタリ当てはまったのがEISでした。学校見学ではエミリーさんが日本語で親身になって対応してくださり、カリキュラムの説明ではセカンダリーヘッドマスターが自ら分かりやすく説明をして下さいました。そしてなにより生徒たちが先生方ととても楽しそうに学校生活を送っている様子に魅力を感じてEISに入学を決めました。入学後は子供自身、学校生活にもすぐに慣れ意欲的に毎日楽しく学校に通っています。
よろしくお願いいたします。

Elijah attended a preschool in our previous country of posting and a kindergarten in HCMC. Although he was extremely well looked after by his 2 previous schools, trouble was he still could not read. We enrolled him into EIS and within a few months he came home, looked at the TV and said ‘Sony’. There has been no stopping him since. In my past experience in my interaction with EIS’s current leadership and team, it could be hard not to see that a fertile and international environment has been created for which children are nurtured to grow. The built environment of the campus plays a significant and pivotal role to facilitate such growth in the children. Rather than a large institutional building, the facility is scattered into an organic friendly and conducive learning village. This fosters greater interaction amongst all members in the school as well as a healthy dose of vitamin D every now and again. We feel blessed to have found EIS for Elijah and his sisters. It is truly a village of learning and a rare and exemplary educational model, not only academically but socially as well. Creating a valuable community of global citizens for the world.

Wonderful EIS Experience

We are a Vietnamese Canadian family with our 4 years old daughter Megan attending EIS HCMC since one year. After researching many schools in HCMC we decided on EIS because of its safe and caring environment that is not too big nor too small for Megan. The variety of programs offered including the arts, dance, sport programs and the extra curriculum activities are excellent. The teachers and staff are friendly, knowledgeable and caring that makes the learning environment so much more positive and memorable.

We are also very happy with the many activities involving kids and parents that give us a chance to slow down and enjoy learning with them. The school provides a very international environment as it’s great to meet many other families from all over the world. We would highly recommend EIS!
