UNIS Hanoi Named Apple Distinguished School
UNIS Hanoi has been named an Apple Distinguished School for 2025–2028, a recognition that celebrates schools using technology in exceptional, innovative, and purposeful ways. For our community, this honour doesn’t mark a beginning, it affirms a journey we have been shaping for years.
At UNIS Hanoi, learning is alive with creativity. Walk into any classroom, and you’ll see students capturing stories through film, designing solutions to real-world problems, building apps, composing music, collaborating across grade levels, and presenting ideas in ways that feel true to who they are. Apple technology is woven through these experiences not as a showcase, but as a tool that empowers every learner to explore, question, and create.
This recognition reflects the intentional work of our educators, the curiosity of our students, and a school-wide belief that learning should spark imagination and agency. As an IB World School, we create environments where students make choices, reflect deeply, revise their thinking, and share their work with meaningful audiences. Technology amplifies all of this—helping learners express ideas that might otherwise remain invisible.
Across our campus, inclusion sits at the heart of this story. Tools support language learners, open new doors for students with diverse learning profiles, and help everyone connect and contribute. Beyond the classroom, our community uses technology to uplift others—donating devices to schools in need, mentoring peers, and using translation tools to ensure every voice is heard during schoolwide events and conferences.
Our Head of School, Dr Elizabeth Gale, captures this vision clearly:
“At UNIS Hanoi, technology amplifies what matters most; curiosity, creativity and purpose. Our students use Apple tools to explore ideas, express their thinking, and shape meaningful solutions.”
Our Director of Technology, Muhammad Azeem adds that this recognition reflects “years of purposeful innovation in which Apple tools have empowered students to design, create and collaborate in transformative ways”.
Being named an Apple Distinguished School places UNIS Hanoi within a global network of leading schools who are redefining what learning can look like. But for us, the achievement is ultimately about our students; the confidence they build, the stories they tell, the problems they solve, and the futures they are already shaping.
And this recognition simply shines a light on what they do every day.
