HISTORY AND HERITAGE

Opened in 2013, the British Vietnamese International School Hanoi is now one of the top international private schools in Vietnam.


From day one, our unique educational approach – which combines the best of British and international curricula with Vietnamese culture, language, and traditions – has provided a broad, balanced, and high-quality experience for children aged from 2 to 18.


As well as inspiring our students to achieve consistently outstanding results, the education we offer develops generations of outward-looking, confident, and successful global citizens. We take a personalised approach to each child’s learning, which ensures they achieve personal and academic success today, and develop the skills they need to thrive in the world of tomorrow.


BVIS Hanoi – along with its three sister schools in Vietnam – joined the Nord Anglia Education family in 2015. This brought many benefits, from access to world-leading education technology and award-winning teacher training programmes, to exclusive collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT, and UNICEF.


As well as being a member of the prestigious Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA), we’re also proud to be accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
