History of BCIS

Following the success of the international program at the Canadian International School (CIS), and at the same time, due to the practical needs of many parents and students about the desire to have an International Bilingual education environment (both accessing the Vietnamese national general education program and inheriting the advanced values of the Canadian international education program), the Bilingual Canadian International School was established. On November 4, 2012, Khoi Nguyen Education Holdings held the inauguration ceremony of BCIS at Phu My Hung campus, opening the way for the formation and sustainable development of a leading international bilingual school in Ho Chi Minh City.
