The campus provides a study pathway from pre-nursery through high school with its integrated programme. Public information confirms the school offers a broader K–12 range (Kindergarten to Year 12) within the SIS system.

The school is part of the Singapore International School network, offering two programmes: International Programme (open to international and Vietnamese students) and Integrated Programme (open to Vietnamese students incorporating local curriculum). The SIS network operates as a co-educational, day school across its campuses.

Public pages do not detail a dedicated SEN/Learning Support provision. The school presents a holistic framework including Schoolwide Learner Goals and a Virtues Programme as part of its approach. Details on formal additional learning supports are not published.

Across Singapore International School campuses, class timetables typically use 45-minute blocks. Start times are commonly around 8:15–8:30, with finish times around 4:00–4:45 pm, and schools often structure the day into 11–12 sessions with short changeovers between periods. These patterns are seen at SIS campuses in Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, and Saigon South, and similar scheduling is used at Can Tho.

A bus service is offered to SIS students, with routes organized by distance from home and pickup/drop-off points arranged accordingly; fees are generally distance-based. Please contact the school for exact routes and pricing for Can Tho. (Bus arrangements are described for SIS campuses in practice, with distance-based planning and pickup points across the network.)

The school is part of the Singapore International School network operated in Vietnam and follows the KinderWorld Education Governance Model, designed to support educational objectives and involve stakeholders in decision-making.

The Integrated Programme at Singapore International School @ Can Tho follows Singapore's curriculum with a study pathway culminating in iPSLE, Cambridge IGCSE, and Cambridge AS/A Levels. Primary students complete the International Primary School Examination (iPSLE) at the end of Year 6. In the first two years of High School, students sit Cambridge IGCSE examinations, and in Years 11 and 12 they pursue Cambridge AS/A Levels. The school emphasizes English-language instruction with a multinational, English-speaking faculty. Assessments include formal semester examinations in English, Mathematics, and Science, with iPSLE/IGCSE/AS/A Levels serving as official benchmarks.

The school supports Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through a Schoolwide Learner Goals framework and a Virtues Programme as part of its academic life. Outdoor Education Programmes and experiences with Outward Bound Vietnam contribute to SEL by building resilience, teamwork, and leadership through experiential learning. The Student Council facilitates student leadership and community involvement, including Charity Projects that foster empathy and collaboration. The Principal's messages emphasize Eastern values and global education, underpinning SEL and character development.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision.

The school provides language support for students not fluent in English, indicating EAL provision. Native English-speaking teachers are part of the staff, which supports English language development.

Outdoor learning experiences with Outward Bound Vietnam support socio-emotional growth, resilience, and well-being. The network's safeguarding framework includes on-site nursing and access to Student Protection Contacts/Guidance Counsellors to support mental wellbeing. The Virtues Programme and Schoolwide Learner Goals also contribute to students' emotional wellbeing and social skills.

KinderWorld's safeguarding policy places student welfare as paramount, aligning with the UN Charter of the Rights of the Child. The framework includes on-site nursing, designated Student Protection Contacts/Guidance Counsellors, and formal reporting mechanisms for concerns, with escalation to the Principal. Staff undergo annual safeguarding training, and recruitment includes background checks. A school-wide Virtues programme and personal safety/protective behaviours are included in the curriculum.

Step 1 — Understand the Integrated Programme and target year level. Singapore International School @ Can Tho offers an Integrated Programme that runs from Year 1 to Year 9 and is open to both Vietnamese and foreign students. The programme is designed to accommodate students entering Year 1 and continuing through Year 9. Placement into a specific year level is determined by the student's age, placement test results, and the number of available places in the class.

Step 2 — Gather required documents for enrolment (child) and for parents. For the child, assemble four passport-sized photos, the child's passport (one copy), a certified copy of the birth certificate, original or certified copies of previous school reports, and a Health Check Certificate with vaccination records. For Kindergarten to KIK students, include original vaccination records as applicable and an Accident Insurance Plan for the child if you choose to opt into the school's insurance. For parents, provide copies of a foreigner's passport or Vietnamese ID as appropriate. These documents are required to support enrolment into the Integrated Programme.

Step 3 — Submit the enrolment application and enter the placement process. Enrolment into the Integrated Programme depends on age-appropriate placement and the results of the placement test, together with available class vacancies. The school maintains class sizes in line with programme regulations to ensure the standard of teaching and learning. If the placement test results align with a vacant place, the enrolment process can proceed.

Step 4 — Understand how class placement and capacity affect admission. Grade level is decided after considering age, placement test results, and existing class vacancies. Class size is maintained in accordance with school regulations for each programme, which means admission depends on both the test outcomes and the availability of seats in the target class. This helps preserve teaching quality and student support.

Step 5 — Note sibling priority (if applicable). If parents already have one or more siblings studying at Can Tho SIS, priority will be given to a new sibling, subject to available places. Sibling priority does not override age/placement considerations or class vacancies, but it can influence placement decisions when seats are limited.

Step 6 — Final enrolment decision and next steps. Enrolment in the Integrated Programme is contingent on the age-appropriate placement, placement test results, and class vacancies, as well as the ability to fill the requested year level. Once these conditions are met, enrolment proceeds and the student begins the Integrated Programme in Year 1 or the appropriate year level. The school reserves the right to place students according to age, test outcomes, and seat availability.

Step 7 — Integrated Programme context and commencement. The Integrated Programme commences at Year 1 and extends to Year 9, providing a continuous pathway within the Can Tho SIS system. Families should plan for the start of the academic year according to the school calendar and any placement outcomes.

Scholarship programmes have been offered in the past at Singapore International School @ Can Tho. A 2022–2023 scholarship scheme provided 20 scholarships for Year 6 and Year 10 Integrated Programme entries, with two award levels: 90% or 70% of annual school fees, allocated across 10 Year-6 scholarships and 10 Year-10 scholarships. The scholarships are for the Integrated Programme at Can Tho and are at the school's discretion; results are not released to applicants, and awards are non-transferable and non-cash. Fees covered by the scholarship do not include Registration Fee, Deposit, or other non-fee items such as uniforms, textbooks, insurance, meals, or field trips. Scholarship renewal is contingent on meeting academic and behavioural requirements, and the school can withdraw scholarships for non-compliance or late payment of fees. There was also a Talent Scholarship programme in 2019 offering a limited number of scholarships for Year 4–Year 7 entrants, with scholarships covering a portion of school fees for the duration of study within the Integrated Programme, and with terms that limit eligibility, specify non-cash awards, and require maintenance of good conduct and academic performance.

Furthermore, the school’s mission emphasises creating a “nurturing space … where students grow and express themselves” and build self-esteem. While specific programmes (such as counselling groups or SEL curricula) are not detailed publicly, the school indicates that SEL is integrated into its community values.

The school does not publicly disclose detailed information on its SEN provision (such as specific support staff, specialist facilities, or the range of needs supported).

A copy of the Child Protection Policy is published on the school website.

1. School Visit & Assessment
Parents book a visit for the child and themselves, where they meet the Academic Heads and the Student Care & Admissions team. During this first visit, the child may undergo assessments: for Primary, this focuses on phonics (English), numeracy, and readiness to learn. The school may request documents from previous schooling.

2. Age Group & Class Placement
Placement is based primarily on the child’s age as of 31 August (for example, Year 1 children must have turned 5 by 31 August). The school also considers academic level, English proficiency, social/emotional development, and whether the school can meet the child’s educational needs.

3. Class Availability Check
After assessment and placement, the Admissions team checks whether there is a spot in the desired class/grade. If the class is full, the child may be placed on the waiting list.

4. Student Registration
Parents receive a link (via the STAR Portal) to upload required documents: child’s passport, immunisation records, prior school reports, parents’ ID/passport, optional bus/CCA registration, and medical/learning support if applicable. They also sign policies (e.g., consent, OTC medicines, photo consent, transport).

5. Enrolment Offer & Fee Payment
The school sends a letter of offer; parents must confirm they wish to accept, then pay the registration fee and tuition fee (or first instalment) by the due date to secure the place. Only after payment is enrolment confirmed.

6. Preparation & Start Date
After confirmation, parents and student prepare: uniform collection, set up parent-student portal (Seesaw), connect with class teacher/representative, review the Parent-Student Handbook. The student begins on the date stated in the offer letter.

The school website does not publicly disclose any information about scholarships.

The school operates a waiting list when a grade is full. If the desired class/grade is marked Waiting List, the Admissions & Student Care team will contact parents as soon as a spot opens up. The waiting time depends on the number of applicants already in the queue.

During this stage, families are informed about the Academic Scholarship Program, including the possibility of scholarships that cover up to 100% of tuition; information is provided to help determine eligibility and the best program fit.

Step 2 — Entrance examination and admission requirements. After completing the admission form and receiving program guidance, the admissions team arranges an entrance examination for the child. The entrance test covers English, Mathematics, and Literature, and families may be asked to provide transcripts or related documents before and during the testing process. Some applicants may meet with the School Board as part of the evaluation before final admission decisions are issued; after the test, the leadership team provides feedback and the admissions team communicates next steps or additional guidance.

Step 3 — Enrollment. Upon admission approval, families prepare and submit the required documentation to complete the admission profile. Required items include a health certification and vaccination certificate (Preschool), a birth certificate copy (or notarized translation for foreigners), copies of parent IDs (and student IDs in later grades), the student's original transcript, and any relevant school transfer letters. Additional items may include prior school documentation and letters of recommendation; once documents are verified, enrollment is completed and a start date is confirmed.
