Why HAIS?

HAIS is one of only two United Nations schools in the world.

HAIS has a multifaceted identity and at its centre is its relationship with the United Nations. We are not an agency of the United Nations, but we are one of only two UN international schools in the world, educating agents for change. As a UN school, HAIS has embedded the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the curriculum and has become a framework for our flagship Service Learning programme.

A pioneer of IB programmes in Asia.

In 1997, HAIS became the very first school in Asia to become an IB World School and offer all three IB programmes. Students in grades Discovery to Grade 5 follow the Primary Years Programme (PYP), while students in grades 6-10 follow the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and students in grades 11 to 12 undertake the IB Diploma Programme.

A campus to inspire learning.

Located in the heart of Vietnam's capital city, the HAIS campus is designed to complement the diverse, child-centred learning that happens. Facilities include state-of-the-art classrooms, Maker Spaces, canteen, gyms, playgrounds, swimming pools, music studios, performing arts spaces, courts and a sports centre.  

An academically rigorous school.

HAIS students consistently rank at the top of every standardized test, including the International Schools' Assessment (ISA), the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP), the American SAT and PSAT. At the start of 2020, a joint visiting Accreditation Team from the Council of International Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the International Baccalaureate Organisation concluded that HAIS provides a robust academic programme connecting learning to authentic and meaningful real world experiences.  

The most diverse school in Vietnam.

With more than 60 nationalities represented at HAIS and as many as 35 home languages spoken among the student body, HAIS is the most diverse school in Vietnam. We bring the world together on one campus, guided by the Principles of the United Nations mentor peace makers and problem solvers.

A community of passionate educators.

HAIS recruits faculty and staff with a reputation for excellence. Over half of the faculty hold a Masters or PhD and most have taught at international schools for more than 10 years. On average expatriate teachers stay at HAIS for nearly 5 years.

Why HAIS?

Find Your Passion, Realize Your Dream

“Each child is naturally curious about the world around them. At HAIS, we pride ourselves on helping them to find and comprehend this curiosity, guiding them on their own individual journey of growth and self-discovery to realizing ‘their dreams’.

Each child is unique and as such, their unique interests should be at the centre of their learning. HAIS is in the enviable position of being small enough to be able to truly focus on each individual student so that they can find their passion and realize their dreams.”
