What to ask before you enrol
No official register of licensed foreign-element preschools turned up for Khanh Hoa. Ask each school for its licence decision and keep a copy.
Ask three more things. First, a written fee sheet with the school year printed on it. Second, which meals, bus and activities sit outside tuition. Third, what happens to a full-year payment if you leave early: My First School says its full-year payment is non-refundable if the child withdraws.
Visit at the hours the school keeps, and ask where the language of the day changes between English and Vietnamese. For schools beyond age 6, see international schools in Nha Trang.
Not confirmed: Whether a school holds a licence for its English programme: no official register was found, so ask the school for its licence decision. What TopMind, Nha Trang Montessori and Maple Bear VCN charge: ask them for a written fee sheet. Which Maple Bear programme runs at the Nha Trang campus.
