About international schools in Vietnam
International schools in Vietnam are concentrated in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, with an expanding market in Da Nang and other provincial centres as demand grows. You will commonly find International Baccalaureate, British (National Curriculum/IGCSE/A-level) and US-style programmes, alongside bilingual schools that combine the Vietnamese Ministry curriculum with international syllabuses. Instruction is usually delivered in English, with Vietnamese taught as a core language and some schools offering formal bilingual tracks; the sector generally follows a Northern-Hemisphere academic calendar and popular entry years can be competitive. Tuition varies widely - from lower-cost international programmes in smaller cities to high-end schools in Hanoi and HCMC charging several hundred million VND (many thousands to tens of thousands of US dollars) a year - so budget for tuition plus enrolment or capital levies, transport and exam or activity fees, and start applications early because many schools use assessments and waiting lists.

Curricula
There are 126 international schools in Vietnam covering 43 curricula. The most widely offered are Cambridge IGCSE (50), Cambridge A Levels (40), IB (DP) (28), Vietnamese Curriculum (28), Bespoke Curriculum (27). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.
Fees & what they cover
Annual tuition across Vietnam runs from about VND 5,790 to VND 1,870,000,000, averaging roughly VND 380,047,938. Budget for one-off costs on top — application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit, uniform, transport and exams.
Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Vietnam run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding
16 of the 126 schools offer boarding — useful if you're relocating or want weekly or full boarding.
How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Vietnam we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
