About international schools in Hanoi, Vietnam

Premium international schools in Hanoi typically offer full international pathways - most commonly the International Baccalaureate, British (Cambridge/IGCSE and sixth-form) and US-style diploma options - alongside bilingual Vietnamese-international streams, formal accreditation and internationally recruited staff. English is the primary language of instruction, with Vietnamese included as a core or additional language and many schools offering Mandarin, French, Korean or Japanese as second-language or mother-tongue programmes. Annual tuition varies substantially by school and by age: mid-range international primaries are often in the lower five-figure US dollar band while senior years at the most expensive campuses can reach the high five-figure range (several hundred million VND) per year. Admissions commonly involve an application, placement assessment and interview, so relocating families should begin their search and applications many months before a planned move and factor in commute time between Hanoi clusters such as Tây Hồ, Vinhomes/Ciputra and My Đình as well as visa and residency arrangements.

FAQs for Vietnam

What curricula are offered at premium international schools in Hanoi?
Premium international schools in Hanoi most commonly deliver the International Baccalaureate programmes, British (Cambridge/IGCSE and sixth-form) courses and US-style high-school pathways; some schools combine these with Vietnamese national or bilingual programmes. Many institutions hold international accreditations and may offer curricular continuity from early years through to university entrance.
How much should we expect to pay for tuition?
Tuition differs by school, age and programme: mid-range international primaries often sit in the lower five-figure US dollar band per year, while fees at the most expensive international campuses for older students can approach the high five-figure range (several hundred million VND) annually. Expect additional one-off fees (enrolment, deposits and assessments) and extra charges for transport, meals and optional activities.
When should we start the admissions process when relocating to Hanoi?
Begin researching and contacting schools as soon as you know your move date - many families start six to twelve months ahead of the intended start term because popular year groups fill early. Admissions typically require an application, placement testing and an interview or school visit, and some schools operate waiting lists or rolling intakes.
Will my child be taught in English and will they learn Vietnamese?
English is the main language of instruction at premium international schools, but most schools include Vietnamese as a compulsory or elective language from the primary years and offer additional modern language options such as Mandarin, French, Korean or Japanese. Schools also commonly provide mother-tongue support or language-across-the-curriculum arrangements for students needing to maintain their home language.
What practical factors should we check when comparing these schools?
Compare curriculum continuity (how the school prepares for your child’s next move), class size and pastoral support, accreditation status and documented outcomes for older students, as well as the daily commute from your home and available school transport. Also check fee schedules in full (including deposits and extras), entry requirements for each year group, and how the school supports language learning and transitions to local visa/residency requirements.
