Singapore International School - Ha Long

The school is located in the Hung Thang Urban & Service Area, Bai Chay Ward, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Situated on a 7.1-hectare campus within a modern serviced urban zone, it is conveniently accessible and sits just outside the main tourist/sea-front precinct of Ha Long, offering a quieter residential environment while remaining connected to the city’s amenities.

The school provides education across a continuous pathway from early years through to senior secondary: it begins with Pre-Nursery/Kindergarten, moves into Primary education, then Junior High and Senior High (up to Year 12). This enables students to stay within the same school community as they progress through all levels.

This is a co-educational day school, welcoming both boys and girls in the same classes. There is no indication that the school offers boarding facilities, so students return home at the end of each school day.

While the school website offers extensive information about its curriculum and facilities, it does not provide a detailed public description of specific provisions for additional learning needs (SEN). Families requiring such support are advised to contact the school directly for further information.

The school carries a connection to Singapore in its name and curriculum orientation (reflecting Singapore-based educational traditions), but it is located in Vietnam and operates under Vietnamese regulations. It does not appear to be formally administered by a Singapore government entity.

There is no stated religious affiliation for the school; it presents itself as a secular international school community.

The academic year is divided into four terms, starting around mid-August and running through to mid-July, with holiday breaks between each term and a longer summer break at the end of Term 4. While the exact daily start and finish times are not published publicly, standard school day structure (lessons, break, and lunch) applies.

The publicly available information does not provide full details of the school’s bus-coach service (such as routes, times or provider). External databases indicate a school bus service may be available. Parents relocating to the area should contact the school admissions office to confirm whether bus routes cover their area, how seats are allocated and any associated costs.
