Our Class of 2025 has set a new benchmark for university destinations at BIS HCMC with an unprecedented growth in the number of BIS HCMC students securing places at the world’s top universities. Well over 50% of our students are joining universities ranked in the QS 100 world rankings. An incredible 34 students, that’s 32%, and almost one in three of our graduating cohort, are attending a QS Top 30 university worldwide. This is a huge leap from last year’s still very impressive 17%.

Our Class of 2025 has once again raised the bar, achieving outstanding IBDP results that place them among the best in the world. Congratulations to every one of our graduates, whose dedication and resilience have resulted in not only exceptional scores, but also outstanding university destinations across the globe. This year, our students achieved an impressive average IB Diploma Programme score of 36.3 points, significantly above the global average of 30.58 points. Over one quarter of our Class of 2025 scored 40 points or above, placing them in the top 10% of IBDP candidates globally, with 11 students achieving a score between 42 - 45, and one remarkable student achieving the perfect score of 45.

As we eagerly await the IBDP results, we take a look at the incredible offers received by our graduating class of 2025. They have already achieved remarkable success, receiving countless offers from the world’s leading institutions. They've received an outstanding 21 offers from 6 of the top 10 universities globally, including Imperial College London, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Stanford University, National University Singapore (NUS), and University College London (UCL).

Students at BIS HCMC continue to achieve outstanding results on the global stage. This year, six of our graduates received a total of twelve offers from South Korea’s most prestigious universities, including all three “SKY” universities — Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University — as well as KAIST, SKKU, Hanyang University, and Chung-Ang University.

We are thrilled with the success of our Class of 2025 graduates, with eleven students receiving multiple offers to the top three Canadian universities!  Congratulations to all of you! This year, we are proud to see no other than nine students receive offers from the University of Toronto with many of these students receiving offers also for McGill University and The University of British Columbia.  These prestigious institutions are ranked as the top three universities in Canada and in the top 40 universities globally!

We are thrilled that four of our Year 13 students have recently gained offers from ‘Elite’ USA universities.

We are thrilled to announce that a record three students from the BIS HCMC Class of 2025 have received offers from the University of Oxford, ranked number 3 in the world, and the University of Cambridge, ranked number 5 in the world. A huge congratulations to Quynh An, YeongSeo (Judy) and JaeYeon on their extraordinary achievement that sets a new benchmark for BIS students. These achievements come as BIS students begin to secure outstanding offers from top universities around the world, including USA, UK, Australia and Asia and these numbers will only continue to rise as more decisions will be made over the coming weeks.

We are incredibly proud to announce that our class of 2024, with a cohort of just over 102 students, have achieved outstanding IBDP results, significantly outperforming all IBDP Global averages. Once again, the hard work, commitment, skills, and attitude of our students has been recognised with stunning academic results that place them among the very best worldwide. These results now provide our students with an astounding choice of some of the top universities worldwide.

On Saturday 18th May, 102 students, split into two groups for two ceremonies, made their way to the Park Hyatt in District 1. Over at least 14 years this venue has witnessed thousands of BIS students graduate. Following in the footsteps of their predecessors, our Year 13s prepared to join the outstanding alumni of BIS HCMC.

A whole world of possibilities awaits our graduating class of 2023.  With 385 university offers so far, and many more still to come from Korea, Australia and Singapore, their remarkable IBDP achievements have opened pathways to some of the best universities and specialist institutions across the globe.

Our IB Diploma students graduate from BIS with some of the highest scores in Vietnam and across the world. Find out how a BIS education provides our students with limitless opportunities.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) provides a challenging and rewarding educational experience based on the philosophy that students should embrace enquiry and apply critical thinking skills to real world situations. We developed these core skills through our IBDP Group 4 Project; using science to survive a zombie apocalypse.

On Saturday 26th May, 72 Year 13 students came together with over 400 of their teachers, family members and friends to celebrate their Graduation at the Park Hyatt, Saigon. It was a special ceremony filled with an array of emotions; great excitement for what lies ahead for our graduating Class of 2018, tinged with some sadness as we said our fond farewells.

As we approach the end of the 2017/18 academic year here at BIS HCMC, we are looking ahead to what the future holds for our outgoing Year 13 IB Diploma students. In this post, we talk to student-swimmer Jeremie Luong.

This term, Ms Archer, Ms Kerr and myself had the pleasure of taking the Year 12 IB geographers on a fieldwork collection adventure deep into the Dalat countryside. On this adventure the students were able to collect huge amounts of river data for their Internal Assessment and also experience a ‘Geomystery tour’ which offered a different perspective into the impacts of flood plain modification around Dalat. This aims to develop the way in which the students think critically and reflect upon the interrelationships between people and their environment.

In order to pass the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) students must fulfil the requirements of the non-academic component known as CAS (Creativity, Activity and Service). Here we talk to Zhen Yi Chew about his chosen IB CAS Project: Operation Smile.

As we look forward to another exciting year at BIS HCMC, we are very pleased to introduce Mr Anthony Rowlands, our new Principal.

We would like to congratulate our IB Diploma students on their outstanding results this year.

As a celebration of the remarkable artistic achievements by nine of our Year 13 students, who have just completed their International Baccalaureate Visual Arts examinations, we are very proud to showcase some of their work.
