Singapore International School - Ha Long

Instructs in English

Ages 2 - 18 years

Fees ₫110,165,000 - 303,054,000

Type Co-educational

Singapore International School @ Ha Long offers children aged from around 18 months up to Year 12 a bilingual international education in Ha Long City, Vietnam. Located in the modern Hung Thang Urban & Service Area of Quang Ninh Province, the school sits on a 7.1-hectare site and serves both Vietnamese and international students. Its curriculum blends Singapore’s strengths in mathematics, science and English with the globally-recognised Cambridge Assessment International Education pathways (IGCSE and Cambridge AS/A Levels). Classes are kept to a maximum size of 25 pupils, ensuring personalised support, and the school integrates outdoor education through an embedded Outward Bound programme for Years 4–12. Language instruction is in English and students also study Chinese and Vietnamese. With certified teachers, small class sizes and a clear progression from early years to senior secondary, the school presents a concrete option for families seeking international schooling in northern Vietnam.

Location

The school is located in the Hung Thang Urban & Service Area, Bai Chay Ward, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Situated on a 7.1-hectare campus within a modern serviced urban zone, it is conveniently accessible and sits just outside the main tourist/sea-front precinct of Ha Long, offering a quieter residential environment while remaining connected to the city’s amenities.

Stages

The school provides education across a continuous pathway from early years through to senior secondary: it begins with Pre-Nursery/Kindergarten, moves into Primary education, then Junior High and Senior High (up to Year 12). This enables students to stay within the same school community as they progress through all levels.

Type

This is a co-educational day school, welcoming both boys and girls in the same classes. There is no indication that the school offers boarding facilities, so students return home at the end of each school day.

Additional learning support

While the school website offers extensive information about its curriculum and facilities, it does not provide a detailed public description of specific provisions for additional learning needs (SEN). Families requiring such support are advised to contact the school directly for further information.

Country affiliation

The school carries a connection to Singapore in its name and curriculum orientation (reflecting Singapore-based educational traditions), but it is located in Vietnam and operates under Vietnamese regulations. It does not appear to be formally administered by a Singapore government entity.

Religious affiliation

There is no stated religious affiliation for the school; it presents itself as a secular international school community.

School day structure

The academic year is divided into four terms, starting around mid-August and running through to mid-July, with holiday breaks between each term and a longer summer break at the end of Term 4. While the exact daily start and finish times are not published publicly, standard school day structure (lessons, break, and lunch) applies.

Bus service

The publicly available information does not provide full details of the school’s bus-coach service (such as routes, times or provider). External databases indicate a school bus service may be available. Parents relocating to the area should contact the school admissions office to confirm whether bus routes cover their area, how seats are allocated and any associated costs.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school runs a dedicated Virtues Programme, which introduces a set of 20 virtues (such as respect, cooperation, perseverance and self-reliance) through teacher-led lessons and school-wide activities.

There is no publicly specified programme on the school website that addresses support for students whose first language is not English (EAL). It is not clear if there are dedicated EAL staff or structured EAL interventions offered.

Mental Wellbeing

Specific initiatives or frameworks for mental-health support are not clearly outlined.

Safeguarding

While the school website lists governance and oversight structures, it does not publish a detailed safeguarding or child protection policy summary in a form easily accessible to the public. The specifics of how safeguarding is managed (e.g., staff training, reporting procedures, external oversight) are not described in the publicly available sections of the site.

Admissions

1. Enquiry and Initial Contact
Families begin by completing an online enquiry form or contacting the school’s admissions office directly to express interest. This allows the admissions team to provide programme information (International or Integrated), clarify entry requirements, and discuss grade placement options for the child.

2. Application Submission
Parents then submit a full application, including the completed form, previous school reports, a copy of the child’s passport or birth certificate, and health documentation. Applications are reviewed to ensure the child meets the eligibility criteria for the chosen year group.

3. Assessment and Interview
Eligible applicants are invited to take a placement test or interview appropriate to their grade level. This assessment helps determine academic readiness and language proficiency, ensuring a suitable placement within the school’s curriculum pathway.

4. Offer of Place and Enrolment Confirmation
Successful applicants receive an official offer letter confirming placement availability. Parents must then complete the registration process by paying the registration fee and deposit within the stated time frame to secure the place.

5. Orientation and Start of School
Before the academic year begins, enrolled families are invited to attend an orientation session. This provides students and parents with an introduction to school routines, teachers, and expectations to ensure a smooth transition into the school community.

Waitlist

The school does not publicly specify a formal wait-list or pool system. If a grade level is full when you apply, the school may advise you of availability at another grade or term, but no dedicated wait-list structure is described.

School and campus
- UK Academy – Ha Long Campus (Phan Đăng Lưu, Hồng Hải, Hạ Long, Quảng Ninh).

Overview of availability of published fees (2026/27)
- The Ha Long campus does not have a publicly posted, campus-specific 2026/27 fee schedule available in its admissions or policies pages; current promotional material references 2025–2026 admissions and promotional discounts.

Application / enrolment reservation fees
- Application fee (Ha Long campus): Not published. No Ha Long–specific application or seat-holding fee amount is available in the Ha Long campus pages or general policy pages.
- Note about the UKA group: some UKA campuses publish a separate seat‑holding / reservation fee and similar one‑time admission charges in their campus fee documents; those items are handled at campus level. (Example: other UKA campus fee pages include a downloadable ‘‘biểu phí'' file listing one‑time fees.)

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year)
- Precise tuition amounts for each year group at UK Academy – Ha Long (per term or per year) for 2026/27 are not published on the Ha Long campus pages or the central policy pages.
- Publicly visible third‑party listings and local school directories indicate typical monthly tuition ranges at the Ha Long campus level for primary years in the region of VND 2,625,000 – VND 5,000,000 per month; this is a third‑party market listing and should be treated as an indicative range rather than an official Ha Long campus schedule.
- Other UKA campuses publish detailed annual and per‑semester fee tables (grade‑by‑grade) and offer early‑payment discounts and multiple payment schedules; that is the standard format used within the UKA network when campus fee schedules are issued. Examples of that format are available from other UKA campus fee documents.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Ha Long campus billing schedule and formal payment terms (annual vs. semester billing, payment deadlines, late payment penalties) are not published for 2026/27 on Ha Long or central policy pages.
- Format used by other UKA campuses (when published) typically includes options to pay annually or by semester and may include early‑payment discounts and specified windows for discounted payment; these campus schedules set the exact discount percentages and deadlines.

Boarding / internal residence fees
- Boarding availability: the UKA network lists boarding as a service at some campuses, but no Ha Long–specific boarding fee or a formal boarding price schedule for 2026/27 is published on Ha Long campus pages. If boarding is offered at Ha Long it is not accompanied by a public fee schedule for 2026/27.

Other costs and recurring fees (uniforms, transport, meals, textbooks, extracurriculars, insurance, technology)
- Ha Long campus: specific amounts for uniform, school bus / transport, meal plans, textbooks, extracurricular programme fees, or compulsory insurance are not published for 2026/27 on the Ha Long campus pages or central policy pages.
- Network practice: other UKA campus fee schedules itemize transport fees, boarding fees, and ancillary charges (uniform, books, activity fees) in separate line items. Those campus schedules are the usual place to find exact amounts and optional service prices.

Refunds and withdrawal / fee‑credit rules
- No Ha Long–specific refund or withdrawal fee policy for the 2026/27 year is published in the Ha Long campus pages or in the central policy page accessible from the school site. No formal public refund schedule (amounts or timelines) could be found for Ha Long.
- Other UKA campus fee documents typically include conditions for refund or credit (for example, treatment of the seat‑holding fee, timing windows for partial refunds, or forfeiture rules), but these are set at the campus fee schedule or admissions contract level.

Accepted payment methods and instructions
- Ha Long campus: there is no published list of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, QR payment, cash, local online payment) or bank account details on the Ha Long campus or central policy pages for 2026/27.
- Network practice: campus fee documents from other UKA locations provide payment instructions and may list bank transfer details and deadlines; exact available methods vary by campus.

Summary — key factual points for a parent
- No campus‑specific, itemised Ha Long fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year is published in the Ha Long campus pages or central policies; therefore the following items are not available as campus‑specific figures: application fee amount, grade‑by‑grade tuition per term, billing schedule and deadlines, boarding fees, uniform and transport fee amounts, refund tables, and explicit payment‑method lists.
- Public promotional material associated with Ha Long recruitment for 2025–2026 indicates promotional fee reductions (for example, marketing references to discounts up to VND 40,000,000 for 2025–2026 admissions). Use of that promotion indicates the school runs admission‑period discounts, but the exact structure and availability for 2026/27 are not published.
- Third‑party directory listings show an indicative monthly tuition range for Ha Long primary levels of approximately VND 2,625,000 – VND 5,000,000 per month; this is an external listing and does not replace a campus fee schedule or contract.
- Other UKA campuses publish detailed downloadable ‘‘biểu phí'' (annual campus fee documents) that contain the full grade‑by‑grade fees, boarding fees, transport fees and payment schedules; this demonstrates the format in which Ha Long would present fees when a campus‑specific schedule is released.

Data availability and limits (brief)
- The Ha Long campus does not currently publish a detailed 2026/27 fee schedule on its public pages or in the central policy area; multiple campus pages within the UKA network do publish full fee documents by campus when those are released. Because the Ha Long campus schedule for 2026/27 is not publicly posted, specific numeric items requested (application fee amount, tuition per term by year group, boarding fees, uniform costs, refund table, and accepted payment methods) cannot be provided as confirmed Ha Long figures for 2026/27.

(References used: Ha Long campus information and admissions pages; UKA central policy page; UKA campus fee listing examples; third‑party school directory listing for Ha Long.)
