Cities / Hanoi / Brendon International Primary School

Brendon International Primary School

Vietnamese-owned bilingual primary school in Trung Hoa Nhan Chinh, Thanh Xuan district, running the Vietnamese MOET curriculum alongside UK primary subjects.


Ages
6 to 11

Vietnamese-owned bilingual primary school in Trung Hoa Nhan Chinh, Thanh Xuan district, running the Vietnamese MOET curriculum alongside UK primary subjects.

Brendon is a domestic Vietnamese primary that markets itself as the first school in Hanoi to deliver UK primary content alongside the national curriculum. Tuition sits in the low tens of millions of VND, an order of magnitude below the foreign-passport schools in the city. The bilingual stream and a pre-primary feeder are the practical draws for Vietnamese families wanting English exposure without the full international fees.

Parent feedback on Facebook and local listings is broadly positive on community feel, teacher warmth and the bilingual programme. Worth treating as a local Vietnamese school with strong English provision rather than as a foreign-curriculum international school. Expat families relocating to Hanoi who want a fully English-medium environment are not the target market here.


  • Independent commentary is thin and short-form. The school is a UK-Vietnamese bilingual primary in Trung Hoa Nhan Chinh, ages 3 to 11, with no IB or full international-school inspection footprint.
  • The International Schools Database parent-review section is empty. Directory aggregators carry three to four short Google-style reviews. One parent said it is a great school with great subjects and field trips. Another said it is a good elementary school. A third said not bad.
  • No Reddit, Mumsnet or expat-forum commentary surfaces on the school by name. Public material outside the directories is limited to the school's own pages and Vietnamese-language coverage.
