WORLD-CLASS INTERNATIONAL PRE-SCHOOL/ KINDERGARTEN
WITH NORTH EUROPEAN PRINCIPLES IN HO CHI MINH CITY
Schedule of Fees
All fees will depend on the “tailor-made” program parents choose and will be quoted and invoiced in Vietnamese Dong and payable in advance.
The schedule of fees for the school year 2024/ 2025 are based on 183 annual school days (Terms & Conditions).
SmartKids has a partnership with the EIS (European Int’l School) and AIS (Australian Int’l School) and as a result graduating SmartKids Children will have priority in enrolment and will get 50% of the acceptance fee waived/ discounted.
Parents should always talk to SmartKids management when considering a move to the EIS or AIS, this way SmartKids can assist with such a move so parents should not worry about their transition to primary.
Final acceptance is always at the discretion of the Head of School/ Principal of EIS/AIS.

Tip:
When comparing fees between different schools, always check:
- on “hidden” add-on cost such as uniforms, lunch expenses, capital development fees etc.,
- fee structure for the next year. (SmartKids has vertical classes covering different ages, whereas other schools charge different fees per age group. SmartKids tries to include as many extra services into our tuition fees, wherever possible)
