The British International School Hanoi has provided an exceptional education to students from across the world since August 2012.
Our school’s roots, however, can be traced to Ho Chi Minh City, where the first British international school in Vietnam – BIS HCMC – opened in 1997. The school’s founders subsequently established the British Vietnamese International School (BVIS HCMC) in August 2011 to meet the needs of Vietnamese families looking for an exceptional dual-language international education.
The BIS family of schools expanded to Hanoi in 2012. With Anthony Rowlands as its founding Principal, the British Vietnamese International School Hanoi opened in the Vinhomes Riverside development – where our school is currently based.
In 2013, the British Vietnamese International School relocated to the Royal City Complex in Hanoi. As a result, our school in Long Bien converted to a full international programme, becoming the British International School Hanoi.
One year later in 2015, all four BIS and BVIS schools in Vietnam joined the Nord Anglia Education family. This has brought many benefits to our students and outstanding teachers, from access to world-leading education technology and award-winning training programmes, to exclusive collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT, and UNICEF.
