NATIONAL CURRICULUM OF ENGLAND, INCLUDING IGCSES

IGCSEs are widely recognised as the ‘gold standard’ in secondary education. They're highly valued by employers and universities all over the world. 

As well as offering a balanced curriculum, our IGCSE programme develops academic reading and writing skills, as well as investigation, problem solving, teamwork, recall of knowledge, and initiative. Most subjects have both a core and extended curriculum, meaning students of all abilities benefit from an appropriate level of challenge and support.

Outside of the curriculum, our students take part in a variety of activities that complement their academic studies. These include life-changing trips, as well as creative, sporting, social, and service opportunities.

At BVIS, we believe that education extends far beyond the classroom. Our Secondary students are encouraged to explore their passions and develop essential life skills through a rich co-curricular programme. From participating in international competitions and Model United Nations conferences to engaging in environmental and community service projects, students gain real-world experience and a deeper understanding of global citizenship.

Creative pursuits such as music ensembles, drama productions, and art exhibitions allow students to express themselves and build confidence. Meanwhile, our wide range of sports teams and physical activities promote teamwork, resilience, and a healthy lifestyle.

Leadership development is also a key focus. Students can take on roles in the Student Council, lead clubs, or mentor younger peers—experiences that nurture responsibility, initiative, and communication skills.

Through these diverse opportunities, our students not only enhance their academic journey but also grow into well-rounded, compassionate, and capable individuals, ready to thrive in an ever-changing world.

We love the arts at BVIS Hanoi. Our IGCSE programme is thoughtfully designed to nurture each student’s artistic talents while providing the expert guidance they need to thrive. Through a balanced combination of theory and practice, students are encouraged to explore their creativity, refine their technical skills, and develop a deep appreciation for visual and performing arts.

Our Arts curriculum goes beyond simply teaching techniques—it fosters critical thinking, self-expression, and cultural awareness. Students learn to reflect on their own work and that of others, analyse artistic styles and movements, and express complex ideas through a variety of media. Whether working with traditional materials like paint and clay or exploring digital platforms and mixed media, students are supported to push boundaries and find their unique artistic voice.

In addition to classroom learning, students have access to a wide range of enrichment opportunities. These include art exhibitions, workshops with visiting artists, and collaborative projects that connect art with other disciplines. Our vibrant arts community also hosts performances, showcases, and competitions that celebrate student creativity and achievement.

By the time they complete the IGCSE programme, our students not only possess strong practical skills and conceptual understanding, but also the confidence to present their work and the curiosity to continue exploring the world through an artistic lens.
