The United Nations International School of Hanoi (UNIS)
is a private, non-profit coeducational English-language day school enrolling
students from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12. The school is located
in Tay Ho District, about ten kilometres from the city centre. The school
was established in 1988 by agencies representing the United Nations to
offer an education to the children of UN personnel and children of expatriates
residing in Hanoi. The students come from 40 different countries, including
Vietnam, Korea, USA, Japan, Sweden, UK, Denmark, Germany, Australia,
Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Malaysia, Indonesia and many more.
There are 100 full-time faculty members. The faculty is multi-national,
including Americans, Canadians, British, Australians, New Zealanders,
French, Belgian, Swedish, Danish, Korean, and Vietnamese.
Curriculum
The school offers the International Baccalaureate (IB)
Diploma Programme (Grades 11-12), the IB Middle Years Programme (Grades
6-10), and the IB Primary Years Programme (Pre K-Grade 5). The Class
of 2007 will be the eighth at UNIS to complete the IB Diploma Programme.
All students work towards the acquisition of a UNIS High School Diploma,
however, students may also acquire the IB Diploma or IB certificates.
The curriculum does not follow any national system, but draws from a
variety of English-language programs consistent with the needs of an
international student body.
Graduation Requirements
Twenty three credits are required for graduation, with
.5 credits earned for passing a semester work in a course and 1 credits
for a years worth of work. Specific credit requirements include:
• English (4 credits)
• Math (3 credits)
• Science (3 credits)
• Humanities (3 credits)
• Modern Language/ EAL (2 credits)
• Physical Education (2 credits)
• Senior project (.25 credit)

an IB Extended Essay or a UNIS-prescribed Senior Project, consisting
of a 4000-word research paper on some aspect of Vietnam.
Credit is given by semesters. One full credit is earned by completing
two semesters of a course that meets for approximately 245 hours per
week. The school year consists of 180 teacher-student contact days from
mid-August through early June.
