Equest Education Group

The Canadian International School (CIS) is part of EQuest Education Group, an innovative and dedicated family of educational institutions committed to excellence and transforming education in Vietnam. EQuest serves over 362,000 students annually across schools, universities, colleges, vocational training centers, language schools, and educational technology platforms.

Founded on the principles of Innovation, Excellence, and Dedication, EQuest Education Group was established by educators with backgrounds from some of the world's best education systems, including the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Australia.

In June 2021, EQuest received investment from KKR, one of the world's largest private equity firms. By June 2022, EQuest became the first Vietnamese private educational institution to achieve international accreditation from Cognia, validating its commitment to high-quality, international-standard education.

EQuest values its people as its most important asset, recognizing their crucial role in the organization's growth. We seek passionate individuals who want to thrive in a professional and dynamic environment. Our Talent Management strategy focuses on recruiting and nurturing talent to ensure both individual and organizational success.
