The Montessori International School of Vietnam (MIS) is the first and the oldest Montessori school in Ho Chi Minh City and in Vietnam.
MIS is an international school that embraces authenticity of the Montessori education and fully adheres to the Montessori approach. It values meaningful partnership between students, families and the school.
MIS follows the Montessori philosophy and method in combination with other innovative educational practices. MIS, along with its well-diversed and dedicated staff and teachers, and meaningful partnership with its families is committed to and passionate about discovering each child’s innate capabilities and learning differences, nurturing their qualities and uniqueness to unfold their potential and help them grow to become the person they desire to be while being happy, fulfilled and responsible global citizens.
To achieve our goal, MIS spends endless effort in designing programmes and daily activities to ensure its children’s well-rounded development and enjoyment from their learning experiences. Each child should feel safe, secure, respected and happy in their daily school life.
MIS guides and facilitates learning and happy experiences in children through their exploration and discovery, with concrete and hands-on materials and through interactions among friends and adults.
In support with the Montessori philosophy, MIS offers:
- respect for the individual and recognition of individual’s learning ability and pace;
- balance of freedom and responsibility in the classroom (freedom within limits);
- respect for each child as a competent learner, and trust in the child’s innate desire to learn;
- opportunities for both independent and cooperative work;
- ample support for socio-emotional development in children.

Testimonials
My daughter has been attending MIS since she was 10 months old. In the somewhat three years that have since passed, MIS has guided her to blossom into the intuitive, assertive, intelligent, compassionate, artistic, and humorous person she is. Her English is really advanced for age, and she can already understand and share scientific notions way beyond her age. Moreover, MIS has showed time and time again that they have my daughter’s best interest at heart, and have therefore gained my trust so as to where my daughter spends her days.
We chose The Montessori International School of Vietnam (MIS) because our children love their school. Whenever they stay on the long or short holiday, they’re always eager to come back school. Our children have gained much knowledge with happiness and safety. Our children have been going to MIS since 2013 and we still choose MIS for them now. Besides our choosing, I hear from other parents who said that their children have significant development after 1-2 weeks after going to the MIS. They properly follow the Montessori method. It’s great. In our opinion, the Montessori International School of Vietnam is one of the best schools for young children in Ho Chi Minh City.
For us it is extremely important for our son to grow up in a diverse culture, making friends with all kind of nationalities & ages. As soon as you enter Montessori International School of Vietnam (MIS) each day you are greeted by such friendly, engaging and nurturing educators & staff. They take the time to know each child and their families so that everyone is comfortable; the children and the parents! Each day we hear stories from our son about the fun, adventures and learning that he has experienced; reinforced by the photos and stories that the educators share with us.
