About international schools in Hanoi, Vietnam

IB international schools in Hanoi most commonly offer the IB continuum - Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and the Diploma (DP) - an inquiry-based, internationally recognised set of programmes that together cover roughly ages 3 - 19. Instruction is predominantly in English at IB campuses, though Vietnamese language lessons and mother-tongue or bilingual tracks are commonly provided alongside English instruction. Annual tuition varies by school and programme: many international schools in Hanoi fall in a mid-range of about USD 12,000 - 22,000 per year, while premium IB schools commonly charge in the USD 18,000 - 30,000 range, and families should budget separately for enrolment fees, transport and IB exam costs. Admissions tend to run on rolling schedules but are competitive; schools commonly manage priority/re-enrolment windows in the autumn and begin offering places for the next school year from late winter or spring, so relocating families should contact admissions several months before arrival and ask about language support and any nationality quota rules.

FAQs for Vietnam

What ages and stages do the IB programmes cover?
The IB offers a continuum of programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for about ages 3 - 12, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for about ages 11 - 16, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for about ages 16 - 19. Schools sometimes map these programmes to local grade names, so check how a school labels year groups when you compare offers.
Is teaching in English, and will my child get support in Vietnamese or their home language?
Most IB schools in Hanoi use English as the main language of instruction, while also offering Vietnamese as a language subject and, at many campuses, additional mother-tongue or bilingual options. If your child is not yet fluent in English, ask schools about their English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision and how they assess and support incoming students.
How much should we budget for tuition and extra costs?
Tuition at Hanoi’s international schools varies widely; recent fee surveys put many mid-range international schools around USD 12,000 - 22,000 per year and premium IB campuses in the USD 18,000 - 30,000 band. On top of tuition, budget for one-off application or enrolment fees, bus services, meals, uniforms, school trips and IB examination charges.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually involve?
Many Hanoi international schools operate rolling admissions, but places for the next academic year are often processed during the autumn and schools commonly begin offering places from late winter or spring; some schools publish formal priority lanes and re-enrolment deadlines. Admissions commonly include submission of school reports, an application fee, an age-appropriate assessment or interview and checks on documentation; if a school is full you may be placed in a wait pool, so contact admissions several months before you need a place and ask about timelines and any nationality quota rules.
What should parents look for when choosing an IB school in Hanoi?
Check that the school is authorised for the specific IB programmes you want (PYP, MYP or DP), whether it offers the full IB continuum if you want a single continuous pathway, the quality of EAL and learning-support provision, class sizes and pastoral care, and the school’s approach to university and careers guidance. Also compare practical factors such as campus location, transport routes, total fees and additional charges, and ask for recent inspection, accreditation or examination information to understand outcomes.
