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.
The school holds several formal accreditations and accreditations-related statuses that shape its international reputation:
- COBIS accreditation (Council of British International Schools). RGSV announced COBIS accreditation in April 2024, signifying compliance with COBIS standards for British international schools, including teaching quality, safeguarding, and facilities. The school also carries the COBIS Accredited logo on its materials.
- First UK school in Vietnam accredited by COBIS. RGSV is described as the first UK school in Vietnam accredited by COBIS, underscoring its positioning within a COBIS network.
- FOBISIA membership. The site shows a FOBISIA member logo, indicating participation in this federation for British international schools in Asia.
- International Baccalaureate World School and Cambridge partner. The Qualifications page states RGSV is proud to be both an IB World School and a Cambridge school, authorised to offer the Diploma Programme (DP) and the Primary Years Programme (PYP), and it notes Cambridge IGCSE and A-level options. This confirms both IB and Cambridge status and provision.
- Cambridge Assessment International Education Centre (IGCSE and A-level). RGSV is licensed as a Cambridge centre, offering IGCSEs and A-levels as part of its curriculum.
- Related logos on the site include COBIS Accredited and FOBISIA membership indicators, reinforcing these accreditations in public materials.
Awards listed on the RGSV site are primarily student-focused and not awarded to the school. Examples show RGSV students receiving prizes in external competitions, not the school as an institution. For instance:
- RGSV wins 3 Awards at the Korean Literature competition (November 2022): three RGSV students were prize winners, including a Grand Prize. This reflects student achievement rather than a school-level award to RGSV itself.
- RGSV Students Shine at the 2024 UKMT-SMC (October 2024): results celebrate individual student medals and awards in a UK Maths Trust competition. The emphasis is on students, not the school as a separate award recipient.
- Hanoi Folk Music Competition 2023: RGSV Year 3 pupil won a Special Prize, attributed to the student rather than the institution.
- RGSV Class of 2025 Achieves Outstanding IB Diploma Programme Results (July 2025): reports on student results, not a school-level award to RGSV.
