Horizon International Bilingual School

The school is committed to nurturing global citizens within a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment that prioritizes student well-being. Its educational approach focuses on academic excellence, ethical values, and multicultural awareness, empowering students to develop a growth mindset. The institution aims to inspire students to become inquisitive, creative, compassionate, and responsible leaders.

The school offers two primary academic pathways: an International Programme following the Cambridge International Curriculum from Grade 1 to Grade 12, and a Bilingual Programme that integrates the Vietnamese National Curriculum with the Cambridge Curriculum. Kindergarten education is also provided, adhering to standards set by the Ministry of Education and Training. Additionally, the school offers summer school programs for various age groups and participates in international olympiads and projects.

Students are prepared for success in a globalized world, with graduates earning a Vietnamese high school diploma upon completing Grade 12. Those in the International Programme pursue globally recognized qualifications through the Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level programs, which prepare them for admission to top universities worldwide. The school emphasizes the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity to ensure students meet 21st-century standards.

The school provides structured support for English Language Learners through an affiliation with the WIDA Framework, ensuring students at all proficiency levels can thrive in an English-medium environment. Social and emotional development is supported through a dedicated school counselor, a homeroom system, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) initiatives. Personalized attention is facilitated by a low teacher-student ratio.
