Previously, on February 14, parents of students at Saigon Pearl International School (Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) received notice that the school would have to cease operations at the end of the 2024-2025 school year. The reason was that due to a decrease in enrollment, despite efforts, the school could not continue to maintain operations.

Along with our commitment to continue high-quality teaching and learning until the last day of school, we are also committed to supporting our students, teachers and staff as they adapt to this transition.

Accordingly, all students of the school at both Kindergarten and Primary levels will be transferred to study at the same school, Ho Chi Minh City International School (ISHCMC), if parents have a need, with the same tuition fee for two years.

The school will have a dedicated team to support parents in the process of transferring to ISHCMC or finding other international schools that suit their families’ wishes. The school also supports teachers and staff in finding new jobs.
