Fairmont International School Vietnam
Since August 2026, Fairmont International School Vietnam (FISV) has brought Fairmont’s 70+ year legacy of American educational excellence to Hanoi – as the first school in Southeast Asia to carry the Fairmont name, becoming the sixth campus in the Fairmont Schools family, a private school system in California, United States, and is also a member of International Schools Partnership (ISP).
Throughout their learning journey, students at FISV will develop strong academic foundations, English-language proficiency, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. At the High School level, students may select Advanced Placement courses that align with their abilities and university aspirations.
The school’s academic pathways are designed to prepare students for either a U.S. college-preparatory high school graduation pathway or Vietnam’s national high school graduation pathway, depending on their chosen programme.
Our school is centrally located in Yen Hoa Ward – one of Hanoi’s fastest-growing residential and education hubs, with strong access to thriving neighbourhoods, local markets, shopping centres and parks.
