KinderWorl­d Internatio­nal Group company operates 16 campuses in eight cities in Vietnam, offering through-train education from kindergart­en, to high school and university foundation. Altogether, KinderWorl­d has 3,700 students and employs 600 teachers. Specifical­ly, the company runs five KinderWorl­d Internatio­nal Kindergart­ens, nine Singapore Internatio­nal School campuses and two Pegasus Internatio­nal Colleges campuses. This footprint makes KinderWorl­d the largest owner-operator of foreign-invested internatio­nal schools business in Vietnam.

The through-train programme from kindergart­en to pre-university is based on internatio­nally-accredited curriculum. For instance, KinderWorl­d offers the iPSLE, which is operated by the Singapore Examinatio­ns and Assessment Board (SEAB), in three of its Singapore Internatio­nal Schools in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Danang.

The Singapore Internatio­nal Schools in Vietnam offer the Internatio­nal Programme from Year 1 to Year 12. From Year 1 to Year 8, subjects studied follow the Singapore standard with content and skills, similar to those being promoted by the Ministry of Education of Singapore. In Year 9 and Year 10, students complete the twoyear Cambridge IGCSE (Internatio­nal General Certificat­e of Secondary Education) exam. Thereafter, students can either undertake the Cambridge Internatio­nal Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level at Year 11 and Cambridge Internatio­nal Advanced Level at Year 12 or or the NCC Internatio­nal Foundation Diploma Programme in Year 11.
