Secondary School Update (18 August 2023)

Greetings to all members of our BIS Hanoi Secondary community for the years 2023–24!

The first few days are always brimming with excitement, carrying with them a sense of boundless opportunity and untapped potential. Personally, I am delighted to see our students and parents once again as we embark on a collective journey of growth, self-discovery, and overcoming challenges.

As a school, we possess a deep understanding of our identity and core values. With over a decade of experience, we continue to strengthen our position as an exceptional institution. I am confident that BIS is a place where curiosity thrives, enabling our students to realize their limitless capabilities. I urge our students to embrace and maximize the multitude of opportunities and advantages that our successful, well-resourced, and globally connected school provides.

A special warm welcome goes out to our 72 new students who have joined our community. We are thrilled to have you on board, and we have no doubt that you will make a positive impact on our school. Furthermore, it is my pleasure to officially extend a warm welcome to our new teachers. With 20 fresh faces in our Secondary team, along with one new administrator, our newly appointed staff have already infused our established team with their infectious energy, enthusiasm, and unique perspectives.

At BIS Hanoi, we hold the partnership between the school, students, and parents in the highest regard. Thus, we invite you to reach out to us should you have any inquiries or concerns regarding the upcoming year.

In the words of Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon that you can use to change the world." Let us embark on this educational journey together, empowering one another to create a brighter future.

Head of Secondary
