How much does an international school in Hanoi cost?
Hanoi's English-medium and international schools charge roughly 100,000,000₫ to over 1,000,000,000₫ a year, with the top of the market around 1,050,000,000₫ for Grades 11–12. A mid-to-premium school publishes 440,000,000₫ for kindergarten, 613,000,000₫ for Grades 1–3 and 733,000,000₫ for Grades 9–10 in 2026–27. That is roughly US$3,800 to US$40,000 a year depending on the school and year group.
What extra fees do Hanoi international schools charge?
Tuition is rarely the whole cost — expect application and registration fees, a capital or development levy, bus, meals, uniform, devices, exam entry, trips and English-language support. One Hanoi school's first-year kindergarten entry adds 26,000,000₫ enrolment, a 50,000,000₫ refundable deposit and a 5,000,000₫ entrance test on top of tuition. Some schools do include meals, day trips and health insurance, so ask what is bundled before comparing two fee lists.
How much do private tutors cost in Hanoi?
Private tutoring in Hanoi costs 345,000–780,000₫ an hour for general English, 500,000–1,000,000₫ for an experienced in-person native speaker, and 780,000–1,400,000₫ for IELTS, specialist subjects or a licensed international teacher. Rates depend more on qualification and specialism than on subject. In-person tutoring costs more than online.
How do I choose between international schools in Hanoi?
Start with curriculum rather than price, because British, American and IB routes are not interchangeable if there is any chance you will move country again mid-education. Then compare total annual cost including the extras above, not headline tuition. Visit during a school day rather than at an open evening if you can.
