The School

This British Independent School in Vietnam is a not-for-profit school with approx 550 students from Pre-kindergarten to Grade 12. It serves both the international and local community of Hanoi. 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 will accompany 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.

The school's motto is "to Nurture, to Empower, To Connect" with a vision to inspire students to become active, lifelong learners by providing a challenging, globally relevant curriculum that meets the needs of individual learners. The school's holistic and balanced approach nurtures each student's potential and their inquiring minds. They foster international-mindedness by connecting students to their local and global communities to foster awareness and sustainable action.

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.
