Message from the Head of School

Welcome to our school
The European International School in Ho Chi Minh City (EIS) offers a premium, international education to students aged 2 to 18. Located in the south of Vietnam, our school campus features state-of-the-art facilities in a lush green, village-like setting. As one of the few schools in Vietnam that offer the IB continuum curriculum, we are proud that our students achieve remarkable results that exceed world averages. Importantly, at EIS HCMC, children, teachers, and families thrive in a warm and welcoming environment, with visitors often noting the calm and happy demeanour of our students who love learning and thrive with a personalised teaching model.
We are fortunate at EIS. Our school not only has a beautiful campus but a supportive and diverse community that is solely committed to ensuring that every child has an enriching and challenging education. To this end, teachers and our leadership team work collaboratively to develop academic and extra-curricular programmes that offer engaging learning experiences to our students.
Philosophically, EIS believes in the importance of creating a safe school environment where students enjoy the learning process and do not fear failure. We are constantly encouraging our students to push themselves, take risks and try new things to fulfil learning outcomes. We emphasise the importance of working with others, caring for one another, asking questions, researching thoroughly, and reflecting on personal actions. In short, we develop young people who are truly resilient, independent learners.
We are proud to be one of the few authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) Continuum Schools in Vietnam and one of an exclusive group of only 364 IB Continuum Schools worldwide. We are focused on delivering the IB curriculum and developing students who acquire the skills and values of the IB learner profile to enable them to transition smoothly from their school careers to colleges and universities across the world.
Please contact me at john.veitch@eishcmc.com with any questions or queries.
I look forward to welcoming you to EIS - our educational village in the heart of Ho Chi Minh.
