Understanding International Bilingual Schools and the Benefits of Early Bilingual Education

Bilingual schools are educational models that utilize two languages simultaneously in instruction - most commonly in Vietnam, a combination of Vietnamese and English. This approach not only enables students to firmly grasp the national curriculum but also supports the natural and effective development of a second language. As a result, students strengthen their critical thinking, creativity, and academic skills in a multicultural environment - an essential foundation for confidently integrating into a rapidly changing world.

Training programs at international bilingual schools vary depending on each institution’s educational goals. Some schools adopt international programs from reputable education partners, while others design their own curricula based on international standards, tailored to the needs of Vietnamese students.

A Detailed Look at Tuition Fees at International Bilingual Schools

Let’s explore the specific types of tuition fees applied at international bilingual schools, helping parents proactively gather information and prepare for choosing the most suitable learning environment for their children.

What fees do parents have to pay for their children to attend an international bilingual school?

Official Tuition Fees (Annual or per Term)

At international bilingual schools, official tuition fees are typically collected on an annual or per-term basis. These fees cover core expenses such as instruction, facilities, learning materials, and formal academic activities included in the curriculum. This foundational tuition ensures students access a high-quality learning environment, supported by a qualified teaching staff, modern equipment, and well-structured educational programs.

Parents should be aware of the school’s tuition policies - fees may be paid in full or in installments by term, and are generally non-refundable if the student withdraws mid-year.

One-Time Enrollment and Registration Fees

Enrollment and registration fees are one-time payments made upon the completion of a student’s admission process. These fees typically cover application processing, placement assessment, and other administrative steps required for enrollment. This is a non-refundable fee, and its amount varies depending on each school’s policy.

Service Fees

In addition to core tuition, parents may opt into several support services commonly offered by international bilingual schools, such as:

  • Meal services: Daily meal plans provided by the school, ensuring nutritional balance and food safety.
  • Transportation services: Optional shuttle services for students commuting between home and school.
  • Extracurricular activities: Programs beyond school hours including sports, arts, clubs, field trips, and experiential learning.
  • Uniforms and learning materials: Additional charges for uniforms, textbooks, and school supplies as required by each school.

Other Fees

Beyond the fees listed above, there are additional charges that parents should consider when enrolling their child in an international bilingual school:

  • Facility fees: Collected annually, this fee supports the maintenance, repair, and improvement of classrooms, instructional equipment, and school facilities. It is non-refundable and typically billed separately from tuition.
  • Placement assessment fees: A one-time fee applied during the admission process, covering preparation and administration of academic evaluations, English language testing, scoring, academic consultation, and appropriate class placement. This fee is also non-refundable, even if the student does not complete enrollment.

Comparing Tuition Fees at Bilingual Schools and Other Common School Models

Curriculum and Training Framework

The curriculum at international bilingual schools is typically built upon a combination of the national education framework and reputable international programs. During their learning journey, students use both Vietnamese and a second language - most often English - concurrently. This bilingual approach fosters flexible thinking, strengthens language proficiency, and empowers students to master academic content in both languages.

Maintaining a high standard of bilingual instruction while meeting international education benchmarks also contributes to the higher operating costs compared to other school models.

Quality of Teaching Staff

To ensure a high standard of instruction, international bilingual schools seek to recruit highly qualified teachers, including both foreign educators and Vietnamese teachers with international teaching experience. This requires schools to maintain a team of educators with strong expertise, along with providing access to well-developed teaching materials and resources.

Modern Facilities and Learning Equipment

To create a high-quality learning environment, international bilingual schools often make significant investments in facilities:

  • Advanced learning equipment: Bilingual schools invest in state-of-the-art teaching tools and technologies to ensure students benefit from modern, interactive teaching methods.
  • International-standard learning spaces: Functional rooms are thoughtfully designed and purpose-built to support a variety of academic and developmental needs, helping students thrive in a holistic educational setting.

Thanks to standardized curricula, qualified teaching staff, and international learning environments, graduates from these schools often achieve outstanding academic results and receive numerous scholarship offers from leading universities.

Moreover, many international bilingual schools are accredited by educational organizations both in Vietnam and abroad, further enhancing their credibility, ensuring teaching quality, and increasing the value of the diplomas students receive.
