United Nations International School of Hanoi

UNIS Hanoi is an exceptional place to learn - It is the ideals and principles of the United Nations in action every day!

As the first international school established in Vietnam, one of only two United Nations Schools in the world, and the original IB World School in Asia, we are proud to offer an educational experience that is unique.

We are a learning community that celebrates cultural diversity, harnessing the creativity and innovation that comes from bringing the world together on one campus.

Our students are curious, compassionate and confident. They understand, and are committed to building a better world, undaunted by the bold complexity of that vision.

We are a learning community committed to every child’s happiness and believe that it is the quality of relationships within that community that empower exceptional learning.

Our outstanding faculty daily challenge and nurture our young learners to realise their full potential and test their most aspirational goals, both in and outside the classrooms of our world class facilities.

It is because our teachers’ are passionate about innovative learning both for our students and for themselves that they inspire excellence.

At UNIS Hanoi everyone is included in learning as a living experience – one that stays with you for life.

About United Nations International School of Hanoi

In 1988 UNIS Hanoi opened its doors for the first time with 12 students in the borrowed classroom of a local high school with a teacher on secondment from UNIS New York - Our first Head of School, Dr Alice Ann Winner.

Today we welcome daily more than 1050 students to our purpose built campus with more than 60 nationalities and 40 mother tongue groups celebrated in our truly international school.

Recognized by the government of Vietnam as a symbol of what is best in international education in the country and in the region, UNIS Hanoi is an outstanding place to work and go to school.

UNIS Hanoi is a coeducational English-language day school enrolling students from Discovery (for 3 year olds) through Grade 12. The school follows the ideals and principles of the United Nations in action every day. UNIS Hanoi is authorised by the Ministry of Education in Vietnam, accredited by the Council of International Schools, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the International Baccalaureate Organisation. It is administered by the Head of School, Dr Chip Barder and governed by a ten-member Board of Directors.

As a not-for-profit IB World School - the first established in Asia - our curriculum is international and challenging. At the same time, we place a high value on the quality of relationships within the school as we attempt to model behaviors that we hope to see in students. Students and faculty commit countless hours to our Service Learning programme because we want students to be a part of the solution, part of changing things for the better. In this way, we are more than just a school…we are a place where students emerge as responsible stewards of our global society and natural environment - our promise to our families through our Mission Statement.
