Concordia International School Hanoi

What the school is

History, religious foundation and school size

Concordia opened in 2011 with preschool through Grade 7 and added a grade each year, graduating its first high-school class in 2017. Its Lutheran roots are documented through the sister-school relationship, and it holds National Lutheran School Accreditation alongside WASC accreditation. The school does not publish how faith features in the daily timetable. Ask about religious education, assemblies and provision for families of other faiths or none.

An external review reports a policy limiting any one nationality to one third of enrolment.

The EARCOS directory records SAT, AP and MAP among the school’s assessments. EARCOS membership supports professional and regional school connections; it is separate from accreditation.

Academics in practice

The American diploma and AP course choices

The American curriculum leads to a school diploma and AP courses. Families should compare the available subjects, graduation credits and AP prerequisites with their child’s plans. For university entry in any country, check the requirements of the intended courses rather than assume the school’s curriculum label guarantees a particular route.

External reviewers describe active parent involvement and a supportive school community. These are reported experiences rather than a measure of support for every child. Discuss learning-support and English-language needs before an offer, including staffing, capacity, any additional fees and arrangements for a mid-year arrival.

Admissions and cost

Published tuition and payment documents

The published annual tuition for 2026–27 is VND 558,034,000 for Preschool; 677,865,000 for Reception; 861,787,000 for Grades 1–5; 912,192,000 for Grades 6–8; 1,001,962,000 for Grades 9–10; and 1,038,822,000 for Grades 11–12. The comparison with 2025–26 shows increases of roughly 8%. This is a historical change, not a forecast for the following years.

The application fee is listed at VND 10.8 million, with USD 400 quoted for payment from outside Vietnam. Those figures are not a fixed exchange rate. The admissions page links fuller fee documents covering payment dates and sibling discounts; use these to identify all joining and recurring charges.

The family experience
