The ranking holds 3 schools with an international accreditation or an authorised programme. The British Cambridge route, IGCSE and A-Level, at 2. A year of school costs from $4 142 to $16 109. A swimming pool on site is confirmed at 1.
1 school publishes a monthly fee rather than a yearly one and does not say how many payments it charges over a school year. We count such a year as ten payments: that is the number charged by the schools that do state it, and that is how long the school year runs in most countries of the ranking.
We do not take reviews from maps and directories: their terms forbid it, and nobody checks the quality there. Everything below comes from the official registers of the accrediting organisations and from the schools' own sites, and every fact carries its source and the date of the check.
| Cheapest | $4 142 a year | IGC Thai Binh Duong (IPS) |
| Median | $6 918 a year | top of the fee range at 2 schools with a published fee |

Figures are converted to dollars at a weekly rate; schools publish their fees in their own currency. One-off charges, meals, transport and uniform are not included unless the school says otherwise. Fees for schools in Bien Hoa are taken from published price lists, not from what third parties say.
All 3 schools in the ranking are private. We have not yet found a state school in Bien Hoa with an international accreditation. The type of school does not affect the score: private and state schools sit in one list and are scored by the same formula, and only verifiable data moves the number.
The British Cambridge programme - IGCSE and A-Level - is taught at 2 schools in Bien Hoa: IGC Thai Binh Duong (IPS), Trường TH-THCS-THPT Song ngữ Á Châu.
A facility counts only when the school names it outright on its own site: a modern campus is not a swimming pool. Swimming pool: 1 school · Boarding: 1 school · School transport: 2 schools.
Comparing schools on a single feature is useless: the most expensive is not the best, and a famous name says nothing about what is backed by documents. The score is therefore built from nine criteria with different weights - from academic programmes and accreditation to facilities, clubs and fees relative to other schools in the country.
A criterion counts towards the score only when there is verifiable data behind it. That is why every score says how many of the nine criteria were counted: at schools in Bien Hoa that is 7.7 out of 9 on average. A school with a detailed site and a school with no site cannot earn an equally reliable score, and that is shown rather than hidden.
Ratings and reviews from Google Maps, Yandex Maps and 2GIS are not used: their terms forbid aggregation. Only verified reviews left here count. Full methodology →

The score of every school adds up from nine criteria with different weights: academic programmes, accreditation, facilities, clubs, the fee against other schools in the country, reviews, university destinations, safety and teachers. A criterion counts only when there is data behind it that can be checked, so every score says how many of the nine were counted. Right now that is 7.7 out of 9 on average. We do not use reviews from maps or directories.
