BVIS Hanoi reports a “wellbeing support” programme and mentions that staff, parents and students work together to support emotional health and social development. However, the school’s website does not describe a formal SEL curriculum (e.g. structured lessons on emotional literacy or social-skills classes) in a way that can be clearly documented.
BVIS Hanoi has a dedicated Learning Support Department. For students who require extra support, the school may create an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Support may come as in-class differentiation, small-group help, or withdrawal for specialist lessons, depending on needs. This applies across Primary and Secondary. Parents are consulted and informed of progress when support is provided.
The school does not present itself as a specialist SEN institution; rather, it supports SEN students within its mainstream program.
The school offers personalized English as an Additional Language (EAL) programs for students who need support with speaking, reading, and writing. The provision is adapted to individual needs and may be delivered one-to-one, in small groups, or within lessons. The school states that further details can be obtained by contacting the admissions team.
BVIS Hanoi claims to prioritize student wellbeing through pastoral care and wellbeing initiatives.
BVIS Hanoi maintains a published Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy that applies to all students, includes safe-recruitment procedures for staff, and outlines reporting and investigation procedures if concerns arise. All staff are required to be familiar with the safeguarding policy and to follow safe-working practices. The school states that it prioritizes “the best interests of the students” and treats all children equally regardless of background or needs.
The British Vietnamese International School (BVIS) Hanoi offers a bilingual education that combines the English National Curriculum with Vietnamese language and cultural learning. Children begin in the Early Years Foundation Stage and continue through IGCSE and A-Level pathways in Secondary School. The school is known for its collaborations with the MIT STEAM programme and The Juilliard School, giving students access to specialist learning in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and music. Located in Royal City, the campus includes dedicated science laboratories, a theatre, dance studios, a climbing wall, and extensive sports facilities . Students learn in both English and Vietnamese in primary years, with English as the main language of instruction in secondary. A distinctive feature of BVIS Hanoi is its bilingual model delivered within an international framework, allowing students to develop strong English proficiency while maintaining Vietnamese language and cultural understanding.
