Reviews
- Hanoi expats and teachers consistently place Olympia in the city's second tier of bilingual schools, alongside Vinschool, Hanoi Academy and SenTia, beneath UNIS, BIS and Concordia.
- One Olympia student confirmed limited IBDP subject options, including no economics or AI.
- A long-time Hanoi teacher described the school as a typical bilingual school whose foreign hires have historically been ESL teachers stepping up from language centres.
- The Hanoi International Educators group lists Olympia outside the most reliable employers, with one teacher excluding it from the HAC reliability bracket.
- Bilingual school trade-off applies: lower fees than the international flagships, more variable foreign-teacher quality, including some with thin credentials.
Positives
- Cost vs international flagships. Bilingual fees materially below the city's international schools, a stated draw for expat families on local terms.
Considerations
- Tier in Hanoi market. Parents and teachers place Olympia in the second bilingual tier, below UNIS and BIS.
- IB programme depth. A current student reports limited subject options at IBDP, including no economics.
- Foreign teacher quality. Hanoi teaching forums describe Olympia as a typical bilingual school, with foreign staff often coming from local language centres rather than international classrooms.
- Reliability as employer. One teacher excluded Olympia from Hanoi's most reliable employer bracket.
