In Brief
Concordia is the right call if your family prioritises AP academics and a warm, genuinely family-oriented community - but only if the Dong Anh commute works for where you plan to live.
Concordia runs a coherent American curriculum from preschool through to AP and SAT preparation, and the parent community consistently highlights the quality of the academic programme. Families who have compared it directly against international schools in Europe rate it highly - the AP pathway gives students access to US university admissions and credit recognition at a standard that is harder to find in Hanoi's generally IB-dominated market. With around 555 students, the school is large enough to offer depth in subject choice but small enough that leadership know families by name.
The atmosphere described by parents is consistently warm and collaborative. Multiple reviews use the word 'fantastic' without prompting, and the STEM programme draws particular praise. Accreditations from WASC, NLSA, and EARCOS put Concordia on the same credentialling tier as the larger Hanoi schools. One-time entry costs are lower than BIS or UNIS - the enrolment fee is VND 37,500,000 and there is no non-refundable registration fee of the scale charged elsewhere.
The location is the defining constraint. Concordia sits on the Van Tri Golf Course site in Dong Anh district, north of the Red River and well outside Hanoi's main expat housing clusters. From Tay Ho the drive is 40-60 minutes each way in school-run traffic. The published fee data is from 2024-25 - prices will have moved for 2025-26, so confirm directly with admissions before budgeting.
What parents value
- –American AP curriculum with SAT and PSAT preparation - the only clear AP-pathway school in Hanoi, giving direct access to US college admissions alongside UK and international university routes.
- –All-positive review record from independent parent sources. Around 555 students across a full preschool-to-Grade 12 range, with WASC, NLSA, and EARCOS accreditation.
- –Lower one-time entry costs than the top-tier IB schools - no large non-refundable registration fees. Tuition at primary level starts below VND 740 million, making it competitive at the mid-to-upper range.
Points of consideration
- –Dong Anh location is remote by Hanoi standards. It is north of the Red River, 40-60 minutes from Tay Ho at peak times. If you are considering housing in the Ciputra or Tay Ho area, trial the commute before committing.
- –Published fees are 2024-25 data. Concordia has not yet published 2025-26 rates at the time of writing - contact admissions directly to confirm current tuition before drawing up your budget.
- –The AP curriculum is a strength for US-college-bound students but less familiar to families from British or European systems. If your children have followed an IB or Cambridge pathway previously, factor in any transition adjustment.
