Introduction

Singapore International School @ Gamuda Gardens (SIS Gamuda Gardens) is an international day school in Hanoi’s Hoang Mai District, located within the Gamuda Gardens housing estate. The campus accommodates students from Pre-Nursery through Year 12, offering a blend of Singapore and Cambridge curricula. Instruction is primarily in English, with strong emphasis on mathematics, science and English language studies. Class sizes are kept small (around 20 students), allowing for a more focused learning environment. The campus spans 2.3 hectares, providing ample space for both academic and outdoor-education activities. One distinctive feature is the school’s Outdoor Education Programme for upper primary and secondary students, designed to foster personal growth beyond the classroom. With its international curriculum and structured progression from early years to high school, SIS Gamuda Gardens offers families — including those relocating from abroad — a consistent educational pathway in English, grounded in a familiar yet globally oriented academic framework.
