Martin Toner, the STEAM Leader at British International School Hanoi (BIS), explained to Urbanist Hanoi that one group of students designed a diving suit that drew on their knowledge of Science and Chemistry, as well as design and even aesthetics. The project was in response to a partnership program with America’s prestigious MIT University that rests at the heart of the school’s commitment to STEAM.

Congratulations to all of our Principal Award recipients who have really shone when showing characteristics from our Aide Memoire: Care, Respect and Integrity.

I would like to congratulate our BIS team of 4 students (The Codey Bunch) who were the proud winners of the Global Cotheathon last Saturday.

School libraries should be places of opportunity; learning hubs where students can access the latest information, helping them to succeed in a global, competitive economy.

At BIS, we are always looking to provide students with opportunities to make links with others outside our BIS community. This helps to develop global perspectives and to understand a different culture.

Our BIS Mission is represented through our Aide Memoire which serves as a constant reminder of the characteristics we value as a school: Caring, Respect, Integrity, Perseverance, Reflection and Enquiry

It was lovely to greet the students as they returned on Wednesday in new uniforms, with smiles on their faces and they all seem to have settled well.

Applying to universities in the US has changed over the years. What used to be a competition of measurable grades and test scores is now an evaluation of transferable skills. Find out what American universities are seeking what your child can do to stand out.

I am delighted to announce that we have been awarded full accreditation by the Council of International Schools (CIS) (www.cois.org).

Five years ago in 2012, when we opened British International School Hanoi, I also ‘had a dream…’ and the dream, vision, or hope was that we would see our wonderful students performing outside the school environment at a high level. That dream has been realised in many ways over the last few years and two great examples of the fulfillment of my hopes happened this week.
