It offers the three IB programmes: PYP across Early Years to Year 6, the MYP in Years 7 to 9, Cambridge IGCSEs in Years 10 and 11, and the IB Diploma in the final two years. The school is currently undertaking authorisation of all 3 IB programmes to become a IB Continuum World School. The school was recently re-accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS).

HCMC is a safe city to live in and Vietnam is ranked in the top 30 countries for tourists to explore. Travel within Vietnam is straightforward and flights are relatively inexpensive. Vietnam's location in Asia in general, and HCMC's in particular, makes travel within the region highly accessible, with many international destinations within a two-hour flight.
