The curriculum offered is based on the British system, modified to meet the international profile of our students. Similar programmes are taught worldwide at numerous schools working within the framework of the British system. The Pre-school ‘Future Kids’ programme is based on the UK’s Foundation Stage Curriculum and at the Primary level, the curriculum taught incorporates the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). This offers a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum delivered through the medium of English with appropriate modification and emphasis on content, in keeping with the international composition of the student body. The curriculum covers the following key subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Music, Drama, Information and Communication Technology, Health and Physical Education, Art and Design and selected Modern Foreign Languages. RISS will fully satisfy the Ministry of Education’s requirements for Vietnamese students to follow aspects of the Vietnamese curriculum. At secondary level, the school again follows the British framework and students will be prepared for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme during their final two years at the school.

The school integrates the best practices and values from both western and eastern educational systems. Students are provided with structured programmes that encourage ‘brain friendly’, investigative learning. This ‘hands on’ approach provides students with opportunities to develop skills and understanding through practical investigations and research. Concepts, skills, knowledge and positive attitudes to learning are developed in a meaningful way, preparing the students to become ‘life long learners’.
