At BIS, we place the highest importance on health and safety. We are a British International School, one of fifty-six Nord Anglia Education schools, and we are ambitious in aspiring to the high standards rightly demanded and enforced in the UK.

At BIS Hanoi, we never underestimate the importance of reading; not only are we developing the skills needed to read but also nurturing a love of books in all our students.

This time of year is very important for our Year 13 students. The pressure of final examinations is starting to build and now they have to think about preparing for the next stage of their lives – university.

Partnering with world-leading educators shows the importance of passion in work at its finest, says Ethan Hildreth, Superintendent of the Nord Anglia American International School, adding that students who develop and pursue their passions easily achieve and succeed.

Nord Anglia Education (NAE) schools inspire confident, creative global citizens who have a thirst for knowledge and a vision to change the world for the better. We also believe that students with a global worldview will have competitive advantages in our increasingly interconnected world. Our education offer provides unique learning opportunities to enable our students to become truly globally-minded and globally-active citizens.

Whether it’s about teaching children to find the magic all around them or telling of courageous young heroes who overcame profound hardships, the Global Library features inspiring titles that every Nord Anglia Education student will love to read this year. Read on to learn more out the three recommended books in the 2018/19 reading list.

At BIS Hanoi, we are proud of having a unique ethos and approach when dealing with languages inside our school.
