Located in the modern Hung Thang Urban & Service Area of Quang Ninh Province, the school sits on a 7.1-hectare site and serves both Vietnamese and international students. Its curriculum blends Singapore’s strengths in mathematics, science and English with the globally-recognised Cambridge Assessment International Education pathways (IGCSE and Cambridge AS/A Levels). Classes are kept to a maximum size of 25 pupils, ensuring personalised support, and the school integrates outdoor education through an embedded Outward Bound programme for Years 4–12. Language instruction is in English and students also study Chinese and Vietnamese. With certified teachers, small class sizes and a clear progression from early years to senior secondary, the school presents a concrete option for families seeking international schooling in northern Vietnam.

The Essentials

Singapore International School - Ha Long has typical class sizes of 20, instruction in English.

Location
The school is located in the Hung Thang Urban & Service Area, Bai Chay Ward, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Situated on a 7.1-hectare campus within a modern serviced urban zone, it is conveniently accessible and sits just outside the main tourist/sea-front precinct of Ha Long, offering a quieter residential environment while remaining connected to the city’s amenities.

Stages
The school provides education across a continuous pathway from early years through to senior secondary: it begins with Pre-Nursery/Kindergarten, moves into Primary education, then Junior High and Senior High (up to Year 12). This enables students to stay within the same school community as they progress through all levels.

Type
This is a co-educational day school, welcoming both boys and girls in the same classes. There is no indication that the school offers boarding facilities, so students return home at the end of each school day.

Additional learning support
While the school website offers extensive information about its curriculum and facilities, it does not provide a detailed public description of specific provisions for additional learning needs (SEN). Families requiring such support are advised to contact the school directly for further information.

Country affiliation
The school carries a connection to Singapore in its name and curriculum orientation (reflecting Singapore-based educational traditions), but it is located in Vietnam and operates under Vietnamese regulations. It does not appear to be formally administered by a Singapore government entity.

Religious affiliation
There is no stated religious affiliation for the school; it presents itself as a secular international school community.

School day structure
The academic year is divided into four terms, starting around mid-August and running through to mid-July, with holiday breaks between each term and a longer summer break at the end of Term 4. While the exact daily start and finish times are not published publicly, standard school day structure (lessons, break, and lunch) applies.

Bus service
The publicly available information does not provide full details of the school’s bus-coach service (such as routes, times or provider). External databases indicate a school bus service may be available. Parents relocating to the area should contact the school admissions office to confirm whether bus routes cover their area, how seats are allocated and any associated costs.
