Examples show RGSV students receiving prizes in external competitions, not the school as an institution. For instance: - RGSV wins 3 Awards at the Korean Literature competition (November 2022): three RGSV students were prize winners, including a Grand Prize. This reflects student achievement rather than a school-level award to RGSV itself. - RGSV Students Shine at the 2024 UKMT-SMC (October 2024): results celebrate individual student medals and awards in a UK Maths Trust competition. The emphasis is on students, not the school as a separate award recipient. - Hanoi Folk Music Competition 2023: RGSV Year 3 pupil won a Special Prize, attributed to the student rather than the institution. - RGSV Class of 2025 Achieves Outstanding IB Diploma Programme Results (July 2025): reports on student results, not a school-level award to RGSV.	Awards The school does not publish any information indicating that it has received institutional awards.
Accreditations	Accreditations The school holds several formal accreditations and accreditations-related statuses that shape its international reputation: - COBIS accreditation (Council of British International Schools). RGSV announced COBIS accreditation in April 2024, signifying compliance with COBIS standards for British international schools, including teaching quality, safeguarding, and facilities. The school also carries the COBIS Accredited logo on its materials. - First UK school in Vietnam accredited by COBIS. RGSV is described as the first UK school in Vietnam accredited by COBIS, underscoring its positioning within a COBIS network. - FOBISIA membership.

The Qualifications page states RGSV is proud to be both an IB World School and a Cambridge school, authorised to offer the Diploma Programme (DP) and the Primary Years Programme (PYP), and it notes Cambridge IGCSE and A-level options. This confirms both IB and Cambridge status and provision. - Cambridge Assessment International Education Centre (IGCSE and A-level). RGSV is licensed as a Cambridge centre, offering IGCSEs and A-levels as part of its curriculum. - Related logos on the site include COBIS Accredited and FOBISIA membership indicators, reinforcing these accreditations in public materials.	Accreditations Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) The school is accredited by WASC, a U.S.-based regional accrediting body that evaluates schools on quality assurance and ongoing improvement.

Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions Step 1 – Inquiry and information gathering: Families begin by registering interest through RGSV's online admissions portal or by contacting the admissions team by phone or email. You can request the prospectus and book Open Events or tours to experience RGSV in action. The Admissions Team provides guidance on appropriate entry points (Preparatory or Secondary) and introduces available scholarship options and Assisted Places. Step 2 – Online application and initial documentation: Submit the online application via the RGSV admissions portal. You will need to provide basic student information and upload required documents; for scholarship consideration, a separate scholarship application form will be issued closer to the exam date. It is important to gather current school reports (translated to English if needed) and any certificates or awards to support the application. Step 3 – Scholarship application (if applicable) and supporting materials: If applying for scholarships, complete the scholarship application and attach supporting documents such as the current school report, translated/certified where required, and any certificates or prizes. A separate scholarship form is required for most award types, and references from independent tutors or coaches may be requested depending on the scholarship category. Step 4 – Entrance assessments and auditions (for various scholarships and entry points): Applicants may be asked to complete CAT4 assessments, subject-specific tests, and, in some cases, auditions or portfolio reviews (for arts and music scholarships). Round structure and test content vary by scholarship category and year group, with Year 7–12 applicants typically facing CAT4 plus written tests and interviews. Step 5 – Interview and final scholarship/entry decisions: A final interview with teaching staff is part of the process for many scholarships and for some year groups. The outcome may be a scholarship offer, a place offered, or advice on next steps if a place is not immediately available. The RGSV portal and admissions team will communicate decisions and any next steps. Step 6 – Offer, enrollment, and fee arrangements: If a place is offered, families must confirm by signing the online contract within the stated deadline and pay the enrollment fee. The application includes an enrollment fee and a CAT4 assessment fee; details are provided in the admissions portal and on the Fees page. RGSV also notes that Assisted Places or scholarships may contribute toward tuition—up to a total 50% reduction in some cases—subject to eligibility. Step 7 – Post-acceptance support and next steps: Following acceptance, families receive onboarding information and can engage with the Admissions Team for settlement of any remaining fees and to arrange transportation, uniforms, or meal plans if needed. The Assisted Places policy outlines confidential income assessments and annual reviews to determine ongoing support.	Admissions 1. Initial Inquiry and Contact Parents may begin the admissions process by contacting the school’s administrative office or visiting the campus to request information about programmes, fees, and available year levels. At this stage, families can ask about placement-test requirements, class availability, and programme options (Integrated or International). The school provides guidance on which documents will be needed for a complete application. 2. Application Submission Families must submit an application form along with the required documents, which typically include student identification, previous school reports, and health information. The school also requires payment of the placement test fee and registration fee upon application. Parents are advised to confirm deadlines and programme availability when submitting documents. 3. Placement Assessment All new students are required to sit for a placement test, which helps the school determine readiness for the chosen programme and year level. The assessment is part of the compulsory admissions process and applies across both the Integrated and International Programmes. Families are informed of the testing schedule and assessment arrangements by the admissions team. 4. Offer of Placement Once the school reviews assessment results and verifies documents, families may receive an offer of placement. The offer outlines the confirmed year level, programme, and deposit requirements. Parents must complete all required payments within the stated timeframe to secure the place. 5. Confirmation and Enrolment To finalise enrolment, families complete any remaining administrative steps, such as submitting medical forms and confirming transportation arrangements if needed. The deposit becomes active only once all enrolment requirements are completed. The school provides orientation information to help new students prepare for their first day.

Waitlist	Waitlist RGSV does not publish a formal waitlist.

The school also limits certain scholarships (for example, up to 20 Academic Scholarship seats per year) and may adjust allocations based on applicant quality and funding.	Waitlist The school does not publicly disclose whether it uses a waitlist or a pool-based admissions system. No information is available regarding queue procedures, priority criteria, or how waiting applicants are managed. Based on publicly accessible sources, the presence or structure of any waitlist system cannot be confirmed.
