American International School of Vietnam (AISVN) Ho Chi Minh City
Reviews & Information

I’ve been with this school for 8 years. I’ve seen a lot of changes (mostly bad) in term of staff qualities and expenses but I didn’t care. Majority of the teachers are amazing. I had a lot of good memories with them. The thing I hated the most was the staffs not giving my friend’s support, thus having them get kicked out of school and NEVER get to graduate. I remember reaching out to the front office and ask for support and them basically giving us a non answer. Asked our counselors and ESPECIALLY the social service lady to help only to no ends. I resent the school for not allowing one of your longest student who’s been there since 1st grade suffer. So if you are planning to study here to keep in mind that financial and mental health supports are very bad. Sorry AIS, you’ve failed your student.

The quality of the school's training up to this point, in my opinion, when I let my children study is good, they feel happy when they go to school. In addition to the academic program, children can also participate in many extra curricular activities and clubs organized by the school!

This school is great, teacher's are cool, school setting is amazing. Could help with a bit of communication among students and teachers about subjects and deadlines of stressful summative weeks.

My child has studied here for 5 years ever since we first arrived here when my child was Grade 6. A very wonderful learning environment.

The good things about this school is that it had has classrooms on many floors. The classroom is large, has air conditioning, a projector, speakers, whiteboards and other equipment needed for teaching. 80% of the teachers here are experienced with creative and easy-to-learn teaching methods. The curriculum is quite good and reasonable. The negative things about this school is that 20% of teachers here are extremely time-consuming, coming in 15 minutes late, playing 20 minutes late and leaving 30 minutes early. However, these teachers whose come late for class are willing to accept to complains and improve

I'am a former foreigner staff of this school and this school had really terrible Human Resource Management skills and treat employees horribly as well as parents terrible, which causes me and my family to quit and leaves this school forever and never return. To other foreigner staffs and those whose planning to have your child study here: do NOT work there and do not send your child here . They refuse to provide documents for your visas or resident card and work permit, which is required by law. You cannot work for a school unless they provide the documents required to get a work permit. The government and the school made me get a mental health just because I'am a foreigner check which cost a lot, all for nothing. They make you come to events and activities early in the morning and late at night, and then refuse to pay for it and the staff at events treat us foreigners horribly. They don't let us yawn because we're sleepy because they wake us up late at night and early in the morning to go to events, and didn't bother to give foreigner staff a company pension. This place is super sketchy, illegal shenanigans all over. Hope the department of labor cracks down on them. I also once have my children study at this school and they graduate in 2021. In the contract the school has with my family and the other parents, the loan is interest-free and 100% supportive to both parents and children, and the school will pay it within 90 days after the students move to another school or finish their 12th grade, but many parents including us haven't received zero-interest loans from them to let our children study for free. That why I leaves and quit the school with my children and never return to work as a staff again and decided at another university in Chicago instead

My son had graduate in 2023, but the school pay us nothing when our finish 12 grade as promise . In the contract the school has with my family and the other parents, the loan is interest-free and 100% supportive to both parents and children, and the school will pay it within 90 days after the students move to another school or finish their 12th grade, but many parents including us haven't received zero-interest loans from them to let our children study for free. They even failed to deliver things that we brought from the Eagle Shop. I brought some objects from Eagle Shop and they failed to deliver it to our house on dates. When we ask what happen, they outright negatively insult us and blames us for problems that wasn't our fault in the first place but the school's fault Not all of the teachers and substitutes are equally qualified and committed to their profession. Some of them lack the skills and the passion to deliver engaging and effective lessons. They tend to finish their classes on time and leave without caring much about the students' learning outcomes. They do not monitor the students' progress or provide them with constructive feedback. They also do not manage the classroom well and allow disruptive behaviors to go unchecked. My big question : How can a school with such a great infrastructure have such poor teaching quality? How can a school with such a challenging curriculum have such low student engagement? How can a school with such a diverse community have such little respect for each other? How can a school with such high tuition fees have such low standards for excellence?

Substandard quality of education and extremely low quality of teachers; most of them are abusive and prefer other students over some other students . Classes and courses were slow, unhelpful and barely teaches you the basics of what you need to know. And the food quality here is not great, sometimes having hair inside. The food was so bad that I and my classmates lose our lunch preemptively.

AISVN is such an amazing place. The school has full facilities and excellent teaching programs and amazing learning experiences. Helps students not only develop more knowledge but also physically. The food and drink in the canteen were equal to that of 5-star hotels and are super delicious. Our children feel secure when arrived and study here. They looks forward to going every day, and always has so much to share afterward. The children learn all about art, nature, music, different cultures, as well as getting a strong foundation in letters and numbers.

Our family chose AISVN International school for many reasons. At the top of our list were the world cultures focus and dual language opportunities that the school provides for our children in their daily life. At AISVN, our children is able to grow and learn in an environment that is accepting and open. Learning two languages allows them to engage in a way that shows them there is more to the world than their local surroundings. We also love that the AISVN team takes the time to understand the children and adapt learning activities to fit their learning profiles. We couldn’t be happier with the program and are excited to grow with AISVN.
