In brief
A new-build IB school that opened in 2022, operated by the International Schools Partnership (ISP), on a 2.5 hectare LOTUS-certified green campus in Tay Ho Tay near Ciputra. PYP authorised, MYP authorised, DP in the pipeline.
Westlink offers two routes: the full English-medium IB pathway and a 50/50 Integrated Bilingual Programme that blends the Vietnamese MOET curriculum with the international programme, which suits families wanting their children to keep options open at Vietnamese universities. Fees are mid-market for Hanoi, roughly VND 260m to VND 600m a year.
Founding families speak warmly of the head, Hillary Hinchliff, the bright purpose-built classrooms, and the responsiveness of staff. Several have transferred from longer-established Hanoi schools and describe the academic experience as comparable. The school is still young, so the secondary track record will only build over the next few years. Best fit for families willing to back a newer IB school with strong facilities and a bilingual option.

Reviews
- Parent reviews are strongly positive about individual attention, visible child progress, confidence, facilities, and communication from admissions onward.
- Parents repeatedly connect the school's appeal to care from teachers, extracurricular exposure, and a learning environment that helps children become more confident and engaged.
- The public pool is still relatively small and clustered around early families, so the signal is encouraging but not broad enough to treat as mature long-term reputation.
