Admissions

Admissions
1. Families start by completing the online application via the school’s “Apply” link and creating a student profile. The school operates rolling admissions for Preschool 4–Grade 12, and advises applying as early as possible because places depend on qualification and seat availability.

2. After starting the application, families must upload all required documents so the profile is complete. These include proof of application fee payment, letters of recommendation (1 for Elementary/Middle; 2 for High School), and student grade reports or transcripts from the past 2–3 years (translated to English for Grades 2–12, with official transcripts for High School). The school also requires a student ID photo, passport photo page(s), visa or resident card for foreign students, and a birth certificate for Vietnamese students.

3. Once all documents are received, the school schedules a formal interview and assessment. All candidates are assessed in four areas: mathematics, reading, writing, and a formal interview. Preschool 4, Reception, and Grade 1 applicants have individual language and ability assessments plus an interview, while applicants for Grades 2–12 take the math and reading portions of the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress), provide a writing sample, and complete the interview. Non-native English speakers also complete a language assessment; these procedures help determine placement and whether additional services (such as EAL or learning support) are needed.

4. After the interview and assessments, the student’s file is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. For Elementary and Middle School applicants, the typical response time is at least one week after all materials are submitted; for High School applicants, the review usually takes two weeks because of the additional credit evaluation needed for graduation planning. Concordia runs rolling admissions, so decisions depend on both the student’s profile and seat availability, and fully qualified applicants may receive “wait pool” status if a grade level is full. Families can contact the Admissions Office by email or phone if they have questions during this stage.

Scholarships
Concordia International School Hanoi does not publicly disclose that it offers school-wide scholarships or financial aid.

Waitlist
Concordia International School Hanoi operates a wait pool system. According to the school admissions, a student who meets all qualifications for admission but for whom no seat is currently available in the desired grade is placed in wait pool status. When a seat becomes available, students in the wait pool are immediately notified. Thus, admission is not strictly first-come/first-served. Meeting the admission criteria does not guarantee placement unless a seat is open. Wait-pool status is the mechanism used to track qualified but waiting applicants.
