Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Initial Enquiry and Visit
Families begin the admissions process by contacting the school’s Admissions Office or submitting an online enquiry form. Parents are invited to arrange a school tour or attend an open day to learn more about the curriculum, facilities, and available year-group placements.
2. Application Submission
After the initial enquiry, parents complete the online application form and submit the required documents, which typically include previous school reports, a copy of the child’s passport, and a recent photograph. An application fee is required to process the submission.
3. Assessment and Review
Once the application is received, the admissions team reviews all documentation. Depending on the child’s age and year level, the school may request an academic assessment or an English language evaluation to determine readiness for the programme.
4. Offer of Placement
If a place is available and the entry requirements are met, the school issues an official offer. Parents confirm acceptance by paying the non-refundable registration fee to secure the child’s place.
5. Enrolment and Orientation
Following confirmation, families receive orientation materials and joining instructions. The school provides details about uniforms, transport options, and start dates to ensure a smooth transition into the BIS Hanoi community.
BIS Hanoi operates a waitlist for year groups that are at capacity. When no places are available, qualified applicants are placed on the waitlist and contacted as soon as an opening arises. Priority is typically given to siblings of current students and to families relocating from other Nord Anglia schools.
