History

[edit]

BVIS was a part of the BIS Group of Schools in Vietnam, which started with the founding of the pre-school Tiny Tots in Ho Chi Minh in 1997. In 2000, the original Tiny Tots was expanded to accommodate additional primary classrooms, and became the British International School, Ho Chi Minh City.[3]

In 2011, the first dual-language school of the BIS Group, which is named British Vietnamese International School (BVIS) was established in the Binh Chanh district of Ho Chi Minh City. In August 2013, British Vietnamese International School Hanoi (BVIS Hanoi) was opened in the Vincom Royal City, Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi.[4]

In March 2015, BIS Group of Schools, Vietnam became a part of the Nord Anglia Education family of schools (NAE), growing NAE's global network to 69 schools across 29 countries.[5]
