Families comparing international schools in Hanoi who want a full International Baccalaureate pathway will find Dwight School Hanoi among the options in the Tay Ho lake district. 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. Dwight School Hanoi is part of the global Dwight schools network and is listed on the main international school directory with an IB programme and a published fee schedule for the 2025/26 year, which gives relocating parents a clear starting point for budgeting. Where a detail is not published we say so.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Dwight School Hanoi offers the International Baccalaureate as a continuum, spanning the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma phases within the global Dwight approach. IB schools emphasise inquiry, breadth and the Diploma in the final two years, so ask the admissions office which IB programmes are currently authorised and how the school supports the Diploma.
The IB continuum suits families who want a globally recognised pathway and a smooth move between IB schools worldwide. For how the IB schools sit against the British and bilingual options across the city, our guide to IB schools in Hanoi compares the authorised names by stage.

Admissions
Dwight School Hanoi teaches from the early years, so enquiries span nursery entry through to the Diploma years. Families should request the current admissions pack, which sets out assessment, documentation and payment terms including the application fee and deposits.
Because IB 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, support for the Diploma and any waiting list for the year you require.
