Our students enjoy a genuine love for learning and are taught and guided by exceptional staff who are willing to go the extra mile to support students to thrive academically. Our students are all-rounders, with the skills and confidence to build on success; they are curious yet reflective learners, in tune with the global community around them and equipped to adapt and change with the world.

Strengths
Australian International School (AIS) has three Kindergartens in total:
- Thu Thiem,
- Thao Dien (Lotus School)
- Xi
Each campus is resourced to the same high standards. At our Xi Campus, the school is open for enrolment for children aged 18 months old and over. While at Thu Thiem and Thao Dien, classes are provided for children aged 30 months and over.
The guiding principle in AIS’s Kindergartens is learning through play. In this way, in a secure but challenging environment, children can:
- Explore, develop and represent learning experiences that help them to make sense of the world
- Practise and build up ideas, concepts and skills
- Learn to understand the need for rules
- Take risks and make mistakes
- Think creatively and imaginatively
- Communicate with others as they investigate or solve problems
Activities may be either teacher directed or student initiated
Each class has an overseas trained teacher and a Vietnamese trained support teacher. There are also specialist teachers for swimming, physical education, music and Vietnamese Language and Culture.
When enrolling children in Kindergarten, parents have many options for enrolment, no matter which campus they chose. These options include half day, full day or extended day programmes as well as part week or full week programmes.
Each Kindergarten has three levels which are based on a student’s date of birth:
- Infants – 18 months – 3 years old
- Junior Kindergarten – 3-4 years old
- Senior Kindergarten 4-5 years old
From the age of three years old (Junior Kindergarten), children follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP).

Member from 2021Mình theo dõi con mỗi ngày và phối hợp với nhà trường. Tới thời điểm này, mình thật sự cảm thấy sự chọn lựa của mình là đúng. Và đôi lúc ngẫm nghĩ hơi tiếc nuối là tại sao mình không cho con học ở đây sớm hơn. Tới bây giờ con phát triển rất nhiều về trí não, về kiến thức và hình thể. Bé ở đây ăn uống tốt hơn, vận động tốt hơn nên tăng trưởng về thể chất rất tốt.
