Wellbeing & support	Wellbeing & support
Social & emotional learning	Social & emotional learning Social and Emotional Learning support is delivered through weekly “Moral Classes” that are specifically designed to build students’ emotional intelligence, ethical reasoning, empathy, self-awareness, and conflict-resolution skills. These classes are age-appropriate and interactive, using storytelling, role-play, guided discussions, and reflection journals to help students understand emotions, friendships, peer pressure and ethical challenges as they grow. Teachers consistently reinforce SEL themes not only in these Moral Classes but also across the school day. This includes classroom activities, homeroom sessions and conversations about behaviour, so that the concepts become part of everyday learning and conduct. The SEL curriculum is grounded in international frameworks and aligned with the school’s core values of confidence, responsibility, resilience, innovation, and principled decision-making. This integrated approach supports students in forming positive social relationships and improving emotional regulation.	Social & emotional learning ISPH places wellbeing at the heart of daily endeavours and aims to foster a thriving school community. The school employs a School Counsellor / Learning Support Teacher as part of its staff to support individual students. Senior leadership emphasises wellbeing and character development as essential elements of students' progress and success.

All concerns must be reported immediately to the Head of Character Education, who leads the response and works with the school’s Child Protection Committee. This consists of the Principal, Head of Welfare, HR Manager, and a legal advisor. Reporting procedures emphasise removing a child from immediate danger, documenting concerns confidentially and referring cases to the Allegations Management Team when necessary. The school also provides annual staff training, promotes child-rights education, and offers safety seminars for students and parents as part of its safeguarding programme.	Safeguarding Safeguarding is a core focus at ISPH, guiding every decision and practice. The Safeguarding (Inclusion) Team is led by Designated Safeguarding Lead Mr. Lewis Foster, with Deputy DSLs Mr. James Lotter and Mr. Tom Adams.

History	History Horizon International Bilingual School began as an educational institution in 2005, originally established in Ho Chi Minh City, before expanding to open its Hanoi campus in 2007. The school has maintained a bilingual and international education model that reflects requirement integration between the Vietnamese National Curriculum and internationally recognised standards. In 2016, Horizon received official authorisation to deliver the Cambridge International Education Programme, including IGCSE and A-Level pathways. Over two decades, it has developed a network of students and alumni and grown in diversity and programme scope.	History ISPH began in 2016 when co-founders Datuk Seri Yaw Chee Siew and Pham Duc Trung Kien launched plans to establish a top international school in Hanoi. The curriculum combines the British National Curriculum with international programmes such as the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), Cambridge IGCSE, and A-Level, led by UK-trained teachers and with a founding Principal from ISPKL. ISPH opened in August 2019 as the first sister school of The International School @ ParkCity Kuala Lumpur, developed in partnership with ParkCity Hanoi. It started with around 70 students in the Early Years and Year 8 and has since grown to more than 300 students reaching Year 13, with the first A-Level cohort graduating in 2025.
