Families comparing international schools in Hanoi who want a bilingual pathway in English and Vietnamese will find BVIS Hanoi among the established options, spanning the early years to the upper secondary school. This profile sets out what GlobalSchoolGuide Editorial has verified about its curriculum, fees, admissions and location.
GlobalSchoolGuide is independent and no school pays for a listing. BVIS Hanoi is part of a large international schools group and is listed on the main international school directory with a British and Vietnamese bilingual programme and a published fee schedule for the 2025/26 year, which gives relocating parents a starting point for budgeting. Where a detail is not published we say so.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
BVIS Hanoi delivers a British curriculum alongside the Vietnamese national programme, a bilingual model that aims to keep children strong in both English and Vietnamese. British schools typically follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and the Key Stage structure, leading towards IGCSE and post sixteen qualifications, so confirm the exact examination pathway and any sixth form provision directly with the school.
The bilingual model suits families who want an international education without losing the Vietnamese language and curriculum. For how the bilingual schools sit against the fully international British and IB options across the city, our guide to the best international schools in Hanoi compares the leading names by curriculum and stage.

British Vietnamese International School Hanoi fees
BVIS Hanoi publishes a fee schedule that rises through the year groups. The international school directory and the group report that the first year of enrolment for an early years child sits at around VND 361,400,000 for 2025/26 once one time charges are included, with tuition rising into the higher year groups. Fees at BVIS are widely reported as lower than the fully international British schools in the city, reflecting the bilingual model. Treat the figures below as a planning band and confirm the current schedule with admissions. Our Hanoi primary fees page sets this against the wider market.

- Extras: budget separately for transport, uniform and any optional activities
Admissions
BVIS Hanoi teaches from the early years, so many enquiries concern nursery and primary entry, where a bilingual setting of this size tends to have steady demand. Families should request the current admissions pack, which sets out assessment, documentation and payment terms including any one time charges.
Because places in specific year groups can be limited, register your interest early once you have a relocation date. Ask the admissions office about assessment timing, how the two languages are balanced by year group, and any waiting list for the year you need.
Location and who goes there
The school sits within Hanoi and serves families across the city. Confirm the exact campus address, catchment and any transport routes with the school when you enquire, as bilingual schools often draw pupils from a wide area.

We do not yet hold verified parent reviews for British Vietnamese International School Hanoi, so we are not showing a star rating. We would rather show an honest empty state than an unverified score. If your family attends or has attended the school, you can submit a first hand review through our school reviews hub and we will publish it once checked.
