International Schools in Hanoi, Vietnam

Hanoi’s international schools form a mixed market of full international campuses and bilingual Vietnamese - international schools, offering a range of curricula such as the International Baccalaureate, British (English National Curriculum leading to IGCSE/A-level or IB pathways), American/AP and a small number of French, Canadian and other systems. Instruction is predominantly in English, with Vietnamese language and literature taught either as a curriculum requirement for Vietnamese nationals or as an additional language for internationals, and many schools offer mother-tongue and extra language options (Mandarin, French, Japanese, Korean among them). Fees vary widely by school type and year group - bilingual schools commonly sit at the lower end while full international campuses can charge substantially more, and families should budget separately for buses, meals, uniforms and enrolment deposits. Most schools follow an August - June academic calendar, run application windows months before the new year and operate rolling admissions or waitlists, so new families are advised to make enquiries as soon as they know their moving dates and to check how Vietnamese enrolment rules or quotas may affect placement and paperwork.
