SIS can educate a total of 1,000 students from pre-school to high-school.

SIS offers an education program with main subjects based on criteria set out by the Ministry of Education, Singapore while extra subjects from the Australian curriculum will be adjusted for Vietnamese students. Depending on each student’s performance, students will be rewarded with internationally accredited certificates including iPSLE  (International Primary School Examination) certificate from Singapore, IGCSE  (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) certificate, Cambridge International A/AS Levels and GAC (Global Assessment Certificate).

The international school helps local people as it saves them the expense of sending their children abroad to study and to bring an internationally-designed education program to expatriate children.

In the late 1990s, the investors of KinderWorld extended its operations into overseas markets, including Vietnam. It has schools in Binh Duong, Danang, Hanoi, HCMC and Vung Tau.
