International School ParkCity Hanoi
British-curriculum day school opened in 2019 within the ParkCity Hanoi community, offering Cambridge IGCSE and A-Levels to students aged 3-18.
In brief
A British-curriculum school inside the ParkCity Hanoi township in Ha Dong, opened in August 2019 as the first sister school of ISPKL in Kuala Lumpur. Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level through Year 13.
Stuart Hill leads. Started with around 70 students up to Year 8 and has grown past 300 with the first A-Level cohort graduating in 2025. Class sizes capped at 24, with ratios of 1:12 in nursery and primary and 1:24 in secondary. Facilities include a heated Olympic-size indoor pool, gymnasium, library, basketball and tennis courts and a stadium-grade sports field, a strong package by Hanoi standards.
Parent voice is consistently warm on teaching staff and the safe, settled feel of the campus, with the Japanese family community particularly visible. Free EAL support is included, useful for families arriving without strong English. Ha Dong sits in the southwest of the city, so families based in Tay Ho or central districts will weigh the commute. Generous early-enrolment discounts have featured prominently in the school's fees structure.

Reviews
- Hanoi-resident teachers describe ISPH as a safe bet outside the traditional top cluster, with one eight-year resident grouping it with the Korean-and-Vietnamese-leaning international schools that hire experienced staff.
- Public parent commentary is thin; most available detail comes from school listings rather than independent parent accounts.
- The site is part of the ParkCity Hanoi township developed by Sarawak's Samling group, a fact that surfaces in regional finance commentary more often than in school discussion.
Positives
- Reputable but second-tier in Hanoi rankings. Long-term Hanoi teachers list ISPH alongside other safe choices outside the UNIS/Concordia/BIS/HIS cluster.
Considerations
- Predominantly Korean and Vietnamese student body. One Hanoi-based teacher places ISPH in the bracket of international schools whose students are mostly Korean and Vietnamese, with experienced staff.
- Limited independent parent voice. Most ISPH detail online sits on school directories; Reddit and forum signal is light.
