With more families in Hanoi looking to prepare their children for overseas study or seeking access to international education from secondary level, the Cambridge IGCSE and A Level programmes have become a leading choice. Recognised worldwide, these qualifications provide a trusted academic pathway that opens doors to top universities in the UK, US, Australia and many other countries.
So, which international schools in Hanoi are currently offering IGCSE and A Level? Below is a detailed overview for parents to explore.

Each student is supported by a dedicated academic advisor, ensuring choices are well balanced between ability, passion and university entry requirements.
ISPH also takes pride in its highly qualified international teaching team, all with extensive Cambridge teaching experience and ongoing professional development. With small class sizes (an average of 20 students), learners benefit from more personalised support.
