It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Westlink International School Hanoi opened its doors in 2022. It is operated by the International Schools Partnership (ISP) group, which provides global network support and governance. The school began as an IB PYP candidate and within a few years secured full IB PYP authorisation. It continues to expand its campus and programmes under ISP’s management.
The school community is multicultural, bringing together students and families from many nationalities, languages and cultural backgrounds. Regular events such as Book Week, Market Day, Family Fun Friday, and national-day celebrations build unity and engagement among students, parents and staff. The school life pages show extra-curricular fairs, club sign-ups and cultural showcases that help foster connection and belonging.
Westlink International School emphasises family engagement through parent events, but the website does not provide detailed information of a formal Parent Teacher Association (PTA) structure, committees or roles. There are references to parent-information sessions, campus tours for families, open days and registration events, where parents meet school leadership and teachers. News items show examples of parent-volunteer involvement at club fairs and community events. However, because there is no publicly described PTA board or meeting schedule, the parent-school partnership appears informal rather than a structured PTA organisation.
Westlink International School Hanoi is an IB World School for the Primary Years Programme and a Candidate School for the Middle Years and Diploma Programmes, serving students aged 4–17. Located in Tay Ho Tay, the campus sits in a modern international neighbourhood with good access to Noi Bai International Airport and central Hanoi. Students can follow either the international IB pathway or a bilingual pathway that combines the Vietnamese MOET curriculum with a US core curriculum. Facilities include specialist science and STEAM labs, music and art rooms, a large auditorium and extensive sports areas on a LOTUS-certified green campus. The school offers over 50 extra-curricular activities, from sports teams and arts ensembles to science, chess and service-learning clubs linked to International Schools Partnership programmes. Dedicated staff lead EAL support, inclusion and counselling, supported by detailed safeguarding policies and a structured admissions and fee framework for families.
