School bus

The Asian International School provides students with school bus service from Monday to Friday according to the school's schedule.

In the academic year 2022 - 2023, about 1500 students from districts in HCM City and neighboring provinces use the school bus service. The increase in the number of modern buses every year satisfies students' parents. Going to school by bus takes about 45 minutes. However, it takes students living in suburbs such as District 12 and Hoc Mon District more time. Fees for school bus are different according to distances from students' houses to the school.

There is a caregiver on duty on every bus to and from school.
