The School

Curriculum: PYP (Primary), UK to A-level + IBDP (Secondary)

This is a not-for-profit international school that blends the very best of a traditional British independent school education with Vietnamese values and principles. The school comprises the Secondary School, educating students aged 11-18, and the Preparatory School, educating students aged 3 to 11.

Although the school was founded in 2013, it partnered with a UK-based Grammar School in 2021, joining a global family with schools in the UK, China and the Middle East.

The school has an experienced international faculty and a delightful group of students of various different nationalities. The school follows the PYP curriculum in Primary, and a strong IGCSE and A-Level programme accompanies the current IBDP programme.
The school's purpose-built facility has well-equipped classrooms, spacious sports areas and two swimming pools. The whole school is surrounded by an impressive Eco Garden to enrich the lives of staff and students.

Living and Working in Hanoi

The school is located in a quiet leafy suburb just 20 minutes from Hanoi's fascinating old centre. Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is known for its centuries-old architecture and a rich culture with Southeast Asian, Chinese and French influences. Hanoi is emerging as an elegant, cultured, and affluent city, where museums and galleries coexist with chic shops and fashionable restaurants. One can wander, in a few minutes, from the narrow streets of the Old Quarter to the imposing mansions and buildings lining the leafy boulevards of the former French Quarter. Hanoi's past has also ensured a superb culinary legacy, where French and Chinese cuisines blend marvellously with the Vietnamese traditions.
