Nord Anglia Global Campus takes education beyond the classroom. Bringing together our 69 schools around the world, it is a fundamental part of how we teach our students to be truly global citizens. The highly personalised learning platform provides a safe space for students to connect and collaborate with each other, and offers a huge variety of engaging extra-curricular activities. It is an essential part of how BIS Hanoi students explore independent learning.

We feel proud of our students every day at BIS Hanoi; they continue to impress and inspire with their perseverance, respect and drive to succeed. Our teachers ensure that all students are making optimum progress through their delivery of a personalised approach to learning. Academic rigour underpins our approach to teaching and learning but we also deliver a holistic well-rounded education that focuses on developing each individual student emotionally and that develops them as true global citizens.

It's important to know exactly what to look for when choosing an international school for your child. A truly great school is a combination of factors including but not limited to its teachers, learning environments, opportunities for personal development, and the academic outcomes and university destinations for students.

Happy World Children’s Day 2020!
