International Curriculum International Schools in Hanoi, Vietnam

International-curriculum schools in Hanoi typically teach British, American, Cambridge (IGCSE) or International Baccalaureate programmes, and the city also has bilingual or ‘semi-international’ schools that blend foreign curricula with parts of the Vietnamese programme. Instruction is predominantly in English, while schools commonly offer Vietnamese classes for local students and a variety of additional language options or home-language support such as Mandarin, French, Korean and Japanese. Tuition varies widely across the market: lower-cost bilingual or value-tier options can be a few thousand US dollars a year while established international programmes commonly sit well into the mid-range and a small number of premium schools publish annual fees approaching the mid-to-high tens of thousands of dollars. The academic year normally centres on a mid-August to September start, but many schools operate rolling admissions, entry assessments and require an enrolment fee and deposit, so families should contact admissions several months before a planned move and check each school’s rules for Vietnamese-national students and required national-curriculum subjects.
