Saigon South International School (SSIS), founded in 1997 by Phu My Hung Group, is an international school in Ho Chi Minh City. The school offers a US-standard curriculum for grades EC-12, along with the IB Diploma Program and AP courses (Advanced Program), fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

Part of SSIS's educational philosophy is to continually develop and expand extracurricular programs, allowing students to develop, explore, and align with their strengths or passions. This philosophy, in part, has made the non-profit school model appreciated as the profits are reinvested in students and their experiences at the school. Dr. Catriona Moran, the principal of SSIS, affirmed: “As one of the longest-standing international schools in Vietnam, SSIS has been trusted for its practical academic programs for students ready for university and excellence in teaching and innovation”.

The acceptance by prestigious universities for SSIS graduates is not a matter of luck. From the moment students set foot in the school, they begin to enter a world that encourages learning, fosters independence, and nurtures excellence. The school always prepares students well for their journey, confidently stepping into and conquering the vast world.

Saigon South International School has a 6-hectare campus with three main buildings that will accommodate around 1,000 students from Early Childhood 3 (EC3) to grade 12.
