SERVICE COMPANY TO FOREIGN MISSIONS

FOSCO International School (FIS)

Introduction

Our History

FOSCO is a state-owned enterprise, providing many services to diplomatic missions, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and economic organizations, foreigners in Ho Chi Minh City.

In order to fulfill the above missions as well as create favourable conditions for agencies and foreigners working and living in Ho Chi Minh City, in 1997, FOSCO started to implement an initiative “Provides a comprehensive educational development program in English for children 18 months of age and older.” Since then, FOSCO International School (FIS) was founded and became one of the earliest established international schools in Vietnam.

From the school year 2013-2014, FOSCO International School used a US program -COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS (CCSS), an international high-quality education standard program in the direction of “skills development and topic- focused education.”

Location and size

Favorably facilitated by FOSCO, FIS was established and operated at Lot B, 40 Ba Huyen Thanh Quan, Vo Thi Sau Ward, District.3. The spacious school campus is at a prime location in the center of the city which is a big advantage over other schools.

Functions and tasks

FIS provides care and educational services for Kindergarten and Primary students (from 18 months to 11-years-old) are foreigners, Overseas Vietnamese and Vietnamese living in Ho Chi Minh City.

Strengths

The school is located at a spacious, safe, and well-equipped facility with a truly comfortable family atmosphere.

An Internationally educated teaching team – passionate and dedicated to each child’s learning and development.

FIS is a monolingual school that uses entirely English in teaching and learning. Besides the American standard CCSS curriculum, the school also applies many educational softwares to diversify the forms of learning such as: Raz-kids; Mathletics; Reading Wonders; Everyday Mathematics; NAT-GEO; SAVVAS Social Studies, SAVVAS Science for Kindergarten, My Math, and Mathseeds. Each semester, the school tests the student’s assessment and ability through the MAP test software system for Kindergarten and Primary students.

The English Enhancement Program (EEP) is used to support the social and academic development of students throughout the curriculum. EEP assists students with their English language skills so that they are able to thrive in their homeroom studies.

In addition, the school also organizes overseas programs twice a year (winter study abroad & summer study abroad programs) in the US, UK, Japan, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.  Participants include FIS students and non-FIS students between the ages of 7-15 years old. These programs not only help students experience a professional learning environment, interact with new cultures, but also make friends with other young children from all over the world which will improve their independence skills and growth after each trip. Moreover, FIS has many after-school clubs with the objective to introduce students to various skills. The school buses pick up/drop off students at their home address each school day in Ho Chi Minh City.
