Hi

Am moving to Hanoi from the US with 2 children aged 7 and 13.

I undeerstand that UNIS is full up and has no vacancies. Wanted to know if anyone has any experience with Hanoi International School.

Grateful for any views and feedback - thanks in advance.

There are many 'ex-pat' schools in both Ha Noi and HCMC and there are equally as many quality standards, too.

I suggest that you would be best served by checking out the schools after you arrive. Your embassy - easily spotted by the two large dumpsters filled with concrete blocks outside - can possibly offer guidance.

My daughter goes to a Vietnamese school and the education in it is good and she now communicates in Vietnamese fluently and has many local and ex-pat friends.

Ha Noi weather is temperate and its winters can be cool - just above 0C - so make sure you bring both warm clothing AND rain clothing - including PANTS which are needed when you ride motorcycles in wet weather - and don't forget get an International Driving Licence before you leave the States.

Voltage is 220VAC and you can buy 110/220/110 transformers in the markets.
