In brief
A small Thao Dien preschool and primary that families pick for warm staff, a multicultural mix, and a curriculum that runs IEYC and IPC into Cambridge Primary at primary.
Founded in 2015 and based in Thao Dien with a sister bilingual primary at Saigon Villas Hill, Anne Hill is CIS accredited and runs from age 1.5 through Year 6. Class sizes are small. The school markets itself as affordable by international school standards in HCMC, which lands it below the BIS, AIS, and Canadian tier on price.
Parents praise the teachers' attentiveness and the steady run of cultural events, from Mid-Autumn through Christmas, and report children gaining confidence in English quickly. The international community is genuine for a school of this size, with more than 30 nationalities. Families with secondary-age children eventually need a transfer plan, since Anne Hill stops at primary.
