JOHN VEITCH
Head of School
European International School Ho Chi Minh City (EIS) is an educational oasis in the south of Vietnam. Our picturesque school campus features a central garden area and state-of-the-art facilities in a lush green, village-like setting.
We are proud that our students achieve remarkable results each year and continue to excel in their examinations, gaining grades that exceed world-averages for the IB programmes. Notably, at EIS HCMC, children, teachers, and families thrive in a warm and welcoming environment: visitors often note the courteous and happy demeanour of our students, who demonstrate a love of learning due to an engaging, personalised teaching model.
We are fortunate at EIS as we have a beautiful campus and a supportive and diverse community that is fully committed to ensuring that every child gains an enriching and challenging education. Teachers and our leadership team work collaboratively to develop academic and extra-curricular programmes that offer our students robust and contextual learning experiences.
EIS believes in the importance of creating a safe school environment, where students enjoy the learning process and do not fear failure. We consistently encourage our students to challenge themselves, take risks, and try new things to achieve learning outcomes. We emphasise the importance of working with others, caring for one another, asking questions, researching thoroughly, and reflecting on personal actions. Our priority is to develop young people who are self-aware and resilient independent learners.
We are focused on delivering the IB curriculum with proven, up-to-date methodology and seek to support students to understand and acquire the skills and values of the IB learner profile. The attributes our learners develop will enable them to successfully transition from school to colleges and universities worldwide.
I look forward to welcoming you to EIS - a global village in the heart of Ho Chi Minh
