The Juilliard School
Our collaboration with the world leader in performing arts nurtures our students’ love of drama and music.
The Juilliard School

There’s so much more to performing arts than what you see on stage. Children develop self-expression and self-awareness, as well as empathy, confidence, and a love of cultural exploration. Our collaboration with the world-renowned performing arts institution, The Juilliard School, enhances our drama and music programmes, promoting creativity, teamwork, and resilience among students of all ages.

Juilliard is recognised around the world as a leader in the arts. Through our exclusive collaboration, we harness their expertise and experience to create a continually evolving programme, which sparks our students’ imagination and nurtures their talents and interests

MIT
The MIT-Nord Anglia STEAM programme develops our students’ problem-solving skills through real-world challenges that get them thinking outside the box.

MIT
Our global programme inspires students to look beyond individual subjects, sparking their curiosity through our hands-on interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving. Guided by the world’s leading STEAM institution, our students take part in challenges and visit MIT on a trip led by experts from the university. Our collaboration also gives our teachers the opportunity to learn from specialists in the world of STEAM, coming up with cutting-edge lessons that inspire our students in the future
UNICEF

Students are challenged to make a difference both locally and internationally, working together to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

UNICEF
Our collaboration with UNICEF challenges both students and teachers to think about how they can make a meaningful, positive impact on the world around them. This includes embedding the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in our teaching and learning, using materials developed by UNICEF. Our students also take part in an annual Global Challenge, as well as local outreach opportunities in our community.
IMG Academy
IMG Academy's sports and wellbeing programme helps students build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills through world-class athletic training, personal development, and elite coaching.
IMG Academy

Our global programme empowers students to develop essential life skills through the discipline of sport, guided by the world’s leading sports education institution.

We equip students with the tools to succeed both on and off the field by combining elite athletic training with personal development, wellbeing, and mindset coaching. Altogether, this builds their resilience, confidence, and leadership skills.

Our teachers also benefit from professional development led by IMG Academy’s expert coaches, ensuring they can inspire and support students in reaching their full potential.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Will my child need to sit an entrance assessment?
    Yes, we ask every prospective student to sit an assessment as part of our school enrolment process. This ensures we can meet your child’s learning needs and offer the right level of support. Depending on their age, your child’s assessment may include class observations and English language and writing fluency tests.

    We assess your child’s English because this is how our students learn and communicate, both in and outside of lessons. We offer English as an additional language (EAL) support to students who need extra help.
  • Do you accept all nationalities? 

    At BIS Hanoi, we welcome all nationalities. We’re proud of the diversity of our school community, which currently includes students, parents, and teachers from more than 30 countries.

  • What’s included in your tuition fees?
    Our fees include lunch, uniforms, day trips, school materials, most co-curricular activities, and secondary exams (where applicable). They don’t include overnight residential trips.
  • How quickly do you respond to enquiries?

    We aim to get back to you within 24 hours of receiving your enquiry or application (working hours, Monday to Friday).

  • Can my child start at any time?
    Yes, we accept students all year round, places permitting. If a year group is full, we’ll add your child to our waiting list and keep you updated.
  • I have younger children – do siblings get priority? 
    Yes, we give priority to siblings of current students. For example, if there are two applicants and only one place, the child who has a sibling at our school will have priority. We also offer a 10% discount on the youngest child’s tuition fees (where a family has three or more children at our school).
