International Schools of North America
Full IB continuum school (PYP, MYP, and Diploma) in the Him Lam residential area of Saigon South, running the IB programme alongside the Vietnamese national curriculum. One of six IB Continuum schools in Vietnam, with boarding available for secondary students.
In brief
An IB continuum school in District 7 founded on 23 September 2005 by Nguyen Hoang Group, locally branded as SNA Saigon South and pitched mainly at Vietnamese families seeking a North American pathway.
SNA runs the full IB programme from PYP through MYP to the Diploma, with WASC and CIS accreditation, and serves roughly 800 students from Grade 1 to Grade 12. The Saigon South campus in Binh Chanh District sits inside a Nguyen Hoang Group ecosystem that also includes iSchool, UK Academy and Hong Bang International University, which gives the brand an established footprint locally even if it is unfamiliar to incoming expat parents.
Family feedback picks out spacious facilities, dedicated teachers and steady communication with home as the main themes. Australian and Vietnamese-Australian families who have moved across come away positive on the cultural fit. Fees of roughly VND 515 to 843 million per year sit in the upper-mid bracket. The cohort skews more local than at ISHCMC, BIS or EIS, which matters either way depending on what a family wants from the peer group.
