The British International School Ho Chi Minh City has been shortlisted as a finalist for the first ever Tes Awards for International Schools. These awards highlight the most outstanding schools and teachers the global education community has to offer.

The shortlisted finalists have been selected by a panel of expert judges including school leaders, experts, and education researchers. After rigorous judgement from a strict set of criteria, it has been revealed that The British International School Ho Chi Minh City (BIS HCMC) has been shortlisted for the International School of The Year award. The judges’ objectivity, professionalism, and high standards will help establish winning the awards as an achievement highly sought after. 

The shortlisted schools and teachers are representing 36 countries across the world.

TES was originally the ‘Times Educational Supplement’ and owned by the Times Newspaper in the UK. It was a weekly publication with articles about education whilst advertising teaching positions in the UK and overseas.

The shortlist highlights some incredible achievements across the sector and showcases the best that international schools delivering either the British Curriculum or International Baccalaureate have to offer across the world.

The awards have been supported by leading international school associations, including BSME (British Schools in the Middle East), COBIS, (Council of British International Schools), ECIS (The Education Collaborative for International Schools), FOBISIA (Federation of British International Schools in Asia), and the IB (International Baccalaureate), a global leader in international education.

Anthony Rowlands, Principal of BIS HCMC, said: “I am thrilled to learn we have been shortlisted for the Tes International School of the Year award. There is no doubt this is a recognition of the quality and dedication of our wonderful school community. On behalf of our staff, parents and of course our students thank you so much.”
