Throughout the academic year 2023-2024, the Community Service Programme and Service-Learning has been and is an integral part of the curriculum at BVIS Hanoi. Projects such as Developing the Floating Village, Tet Shoes Boxes, Teaching English for children in needed, successfully being granted £16K by Nord Anglia Education Group for a student-led project, have allowed our students to learn about the importance of reducing inequality, giving them practical experience and opportunities to embark on ambitious projects to improve the lives of local people who are less fortunate, while applying their knowledge into practices.
