The United Nations International School of Hanoi is an international school in Hanoi, Vietnam. It is a private, non-profit organization founded in 1988 with the support of the United Nations Development Programme in Vietnam (UNDP) with the aim of providing an education to the children of UN staff and others.
It is one of two UN schools in the world, with its sister school, United Nations International School, located in New York City. The school primarily caters to the children of diplomats, aid workers, businessmen, and other expatriates living and working in Hanoi. UNIS is regarded as of the most prestigious international schools in Asia.[citation needed] Classes range from pre-school to high school, and the IB Diploma is available to students in grade 11 and 12.
As of May 2018, there were 1123 students with 66 nationalities speaking 44 different languages.[1] The school maintains a 20% cap for any one nationality, which was put in place in order to maintain an international and culturally diverse atmosphere.
There are teachers from 27 countries with 88% from the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Canada. Class sizes at UNIS Hanoi range from 16 to 22 students depending on the grade level with mostly 8 classes per grade level.[1]
