The International English Program at TIS for elementary students consists of 12 lessons per week, with 7 lessons taught by foreign teachers (English and Math) and 5 lessons taught by qualified Vietnamese teachers.

The natural science subjects, including Math and Science, are tailored by experts to suit non-native English speakers.
TIS’s elementary education program aligns with Vietnam's Ministry of Education and Training standards but is “optimized” to ensure that students grasp the core knowledge of each grade level, excel academically, and receive certificates from the Ministry, all while learning in a relaxed, effective, age-appropriate environment.
