Hanoi International School (HIS) was founded in 1996 as one of the first international schools in Vietnam. It was established under a joint venture agreement between the Centre for Education Technology (Vietnam) and International School Development Inc. (USA). The school began operations in leased premises near its current site before relocating to its present campus at 48 Liễu Giai Street, Ba Đình District. Over the years, HIS has expanded to offer the full International Baccalaureate continuum and serves a diverse, multinational student body.
The HIS community is made up of families, staff, and students representing a wide range of nationalities. The school calendar features a variety of cultural and community events, such as International Day, drama productions, and inter-school activities through the Mekong River International Schools Association (MRISA). Annual events, assemblies, and student showcases encourage collaboration and cultural exchange across all year groups.
The HIS Parent Teacher Association (PTA) plays an active role in organising social and cultural events that strengthen school-community connections. The PTA works closely with the Student Council (StuCo) and school staff to plan activities such as charity drives, cultural celebrations, and community fairs. Parents also volunteer to support school functions and welcome new families into the community. Regular PTA meetings provide a platform for collaboration, discussion, and feedback between parents and the school administration. The association’s efforts contribute to maintaining HIS’s close-knit and inclusive community atmosphere.
