The school was established in 1988 by agencies representing

UN personnel and others, according to the principles of the United
Nations. As applied to the school, they are to:
- promote peaceful solutions to problems,

and adults of different nationalities,

in economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian matters,

and equality for all, without distinction as to race, sex,
language
or religion
and,

of the UNIS community in the attainment of these common ends.
UNIS is a private, non-profit school which is authorised by
the Ministry of Education in Viet Nam, administered by a Head
of School and governed by a nine-member Board of Directors comprised
of both elected and appointed members. The four administrators
at the school are ex-officio members of the Board.
