Why Hanoi Parent are choosing Fairmont International School Vietnam for their child's future

Discover how Fairmont International School Vietnam (FISV) equips pupils with the skills they need to succeed both at home and on the international stage through its teaching approach

15-08-2026

Discover the enhanced academic pathways and international approach that are helping students thrive locally and globally.
What if your child's school could prepare them for university pathways abroad while building strong foundations at home? At Fairmont International School of Vietnam (FISV), we combine US standards-based academic excellence with a strong respect for Vietnamese identity, helping every child grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability.

Two academic pathways, one personalized journey
At FISV, we recognize that every learner is different. That's why we offer two structured academic pathways designed to support diverse goals and aspirations:
International Pathway
A fully English-medium academic program aligned with US standards, designed to prepare students for international university pathways.
Students develop advanced academic literacy, critical thinking, research skills, and global competencies in a rigorous and supportive environment.
Ideal for families seeking strong English fluency, international benchmarks, and a future-focused learning journey.

Integrated Bilingual Pathway
A balanced English Vietnamese program that ensures students build global readiness while maintaining strong local language proficiency and cultural identity.

This pathway supports academic progression while allowing students to stay connected to Vietnamese values and traditions.
Building confidence in every learner
Allen "At FISV, every learner is inspired to explore, thrive, and discover their own success story within a caring, globally connected, and future-ready community." McInnis, Campus Principal

Beyond academics: life skills that grow with your child

Education at FISV extends far beyond the classroom. From robotics to sports, drama to debate, students have meaningful opportunities to explore interests, develop talents, and take initiative.

Through the International Schools Partnership (ISP), students participate in global collaborative programs such as:
ISP Filmmakers
ISP Model United Nations
ISP Scientists
ISP Chess Masters
Virtual Cultural Exchanges

These programs are designed to build confidence, global awareness, leadership, and real-world experience - shaping students into capable global citizens.
Leadership starts here - and now

At Fairmont International School of Vietnam, leadership isn't reserved for the future, it's part of everyday learning. From the moment they arrive, students are empowered to take initiative and make a difference. Whether they're leading inter-house events as House Captains and Sports Leaders, offering support as Peer Mentors and Prefects, championing sustainability through the Eco Committee, representing peers on the Student Council, or tackling real-world problems in Innovation and Engineering Challenges.

Language fluency that sets students apart

FISV proudly embeds both English and Vietnamese across the learning journey. Through tailored EAL (English as an Additional Language) and VAL (Vietnamese as an Additional Language) support programs, students:
Build strong bilingual fluency
Develop confident communication skills
Stay connected to their heritage while preparing for global pathways

Supporting tools include Raz-Plus, Phonics Hero, and Edwin by Nelson to personalize multilingual growth.
"My children are learning English in a fun and supportive environment" - Geeni, Parent of Two FISV Students

As a mother of two, I'm delighted with my children's experience at FISV. Since joining, they've made great progress in English through engaging activities and hands-on programs. Instead of feeling pressured, they learn in an open and encouraging environment that makes the process enjoyable. The school's excellent facilities support interactive learning, from science experiments to creative projects. I truly appreciate the supportive teachers who make education exciting and meaningful. I believe FISV is the perfect place for children to grow academically and socially while having fun.
