TL;DR
Russian- and English-speaking kindergartens and schools for expat families are mostly concentrated in District 7 (Phu My Hung), while District 9 (Thu Duc) has very few such options.
Families with school-age kids often settle in District 7 — it's easier to find peers there for socializing and activities like cafes, movies, or workshops.
District 9 (Thu Duc) has almost no Russian- or English-speaking kindergartens for expats — if relocating with young children, District 7 offers much better infrastructure for foreign families.
Choosing a school for kids 10+ is a common concern among expats in Ho Chi Minh City — many parents specifically look for recommendations on schools for this age group rather than kindergartens.
