Our Partnerships

Our school in Ho Chi Minh City has partnered with world-recognised accreditation bodies to ensure the highest standards of teaching, learning, and student wellbeing. Accreditation by the Council of International Schools (CIS), the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and authorisation by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) reflect our commitment to excellence in education and our mission to support every child in becoming a productive, caring, and conscientious global citizen.

Building Connection Through Collaboration

Both the CIS, WASC, and the IBO uphold the highest standards of academic excellence in the schools they accredit and support. Our students benefit from access to a global network of learners from CIS, WASC, and IBO member schools, encouraging collaboration on projects, innovative learning methodologies, and international conferences.

IB authorisation ensures the delivery of world-class pedagogies that have been tried and tested across the globe, encouraging students to think critically, ask the right questions, and think across disciplines (IBO, 2023). Meanwhile, CIS certification and WASC accreditation confirm that our teaching and learning practices have been rigorously evaluated and benchmarked against leading international standards - ensuring our ongoing commitment to excellence across every aspect of school life.

Through our membership and accreditation, students gain access to a global network of learners from CIS, WASC, and IB schools - fostering collaboration on innovative projects, shared learning methodologies, and international conferences.

A CIS School

We are one of a handful of international schools in Vietnam that have not only invited external assessment by the Council of International Schools (CIS) but also gained accreditation following rigorous inspections and reviews.

Globally, only 22% of international schools have attained accreditation, demonstrating the highest standards in operations. The best schools and colleges in the world recognise our consistently excellent teaching and valuable qualifications, giving our students fantastic options when they graduate.

IBO World School
 

IBO World School

EIS is an IBO (International Baccalaureate Organization) World School. Students are taught the full IB curriculum from Kindergarten onwards, allowing them to smoothly transition from each academic stage to the next. The IB curriculum pathway fosters skills in research, evaluation, analysis, independent study, and leadership while also developing the "soft" skills needed for long-term learning.

Why Did EIS Seek Accreditation?

By undergoing accreditation, EIS HCMC exemplifies its dedication to offering the best option for international education. Any school can claim to provide outstanding education; however, because external and independent agencies inspect and evaluate our methodology, we can demonstrate the efficacy of our tuition without bias.

EIS Achieved Accredited Status

Our school has successfully achieved accredited status through a comprehensive process with three globally recognised bodies - the Council of International Schools (CIS), the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO).’

The accreditation journey involved:

  • Undergoing preliminary visits to determine readiness for accreditation
  • Conducting rigorous self-studies and evaluations across all areas of school life
  • Completing final external reviews by CIS, WASC, and IBO representatives

Following these processes, EIS was officially awarded certification for its exceptional international provision, confirming that our standards of teaching, learning, leadership, and student wellbeing meet - and often exceed - global benchmarks.

A CIS and WASC inspection is exceptionally rigorous, assessing every facet of school operations, governance, and community culture. Meanwhile, IB authorisation validates the quality of our academic programmes, ensuring that students benefit from world-class pedagogies and a curriculum designed to inspire inquiry, critical thinking, and global-mindedness.
 

Accreditation Has Value

At EIS, we believe that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Our staff are dedicated to ongoing professional growth, participating in annual workshops and training opportunities that keep them informed of the latest developments in educational practice and international standards.

As part of our CIS, WASC, and IB accreditation and membership, our educators have access to a wide range of professional learning opportunities - including Safeguarding, Inclusion, and Data Protection workshops - in addition to the training offered internally by the school. These engagements ensure our teachers remain at the forefront of best practice, continuously enhancing the quality of education we provide.
