Wellspring Hanoi International Bilingual School

Wellspring Hanoi International Bilingual School is located in Phố Ái Mộ, Bồ Đề Ward, Long Biên District in Hanoi, Vietnam. Long Biên sits across the Red River from the historic city centre, with relatively easy connections to central Hanoi by road and bridges, and a mix of residential and urban neighbourhoods nearby.

The school comprises three divisions: Primary (Tiểu học), Lower Secondary (THCS), and Upper Secondary (THPT). These levels offer a continuous educational pathway from early primary years through the end of high school. Students progress through each stage within the same campus system.

The school is a co-educational day school welcoming both Vietnamese and international students.

Wellspring Hanoi operates a dedicated Learning Support Center (LSC) to assist students who need additional academic or emotional support. The center provides structured learning programs, individualized guidance, and small-group sessions to help students overcome challenges in specific subject areas or learning skills. Support is coordinated with classroom teachers to ensure consistent progress and integration within the wider school environment.

While Wellspring Hanoi is a Vietnamese school, its international program follows the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, Common Core Standards, and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) from the United States. This approach provides a strong American academic foundation while maintaining alignment with Vietnamese educational requirements.

The school has no religious affiliations.

The school follows a full-day academic schedule from Monday to Friday. The day typically includes core academic sessions in the morning followed by enrichment activities, clubs, or electives in the afternoon. Lunch and short breaks are built into the schedule to support student wellbeing and focus throughout the day.

Wellspring Hanoi offers a comprehensive school bus service for students across Hanoi. The service is managed by the school with trained drivers and accompanying staff to ensure safety and comfort during the journey.

Wellspring Hanoi offers several academic pathways across its grade levels, including the American Bilingual Elementary, Middle, and High School programs, which run from Grades 1 through 12. In high school, students may also enroll in the Dual-Diploma program, which provides an enhanced academic track beginning from Grade 10AD. The school additionally operates an American International High School program spanning Grades 9AI to 12AI, offering a distinct international pathway.

The school describes a “Happy School” model aligned with the UNESCO Happy Schools framework, which is intended to support student wellbeing through activities that build positive relationships, teamwork and personal development. The website highlights school-wide festivals, community projects and experiential learning opportunities, which contribute to social connection and emotional growth. The school also references structured activities such as life skills programmes and project-based experiences. No specific SEL curriculum, timetable, or dedicated SEL staff roles are described.

TH School does not describe itself as a specialist Special Educational Needs (SEN) institution, however it does provide SEN support. The school’s SEN support includes Learning Support Centre (LSC) which offers structured learning support lessons and frameworks aimed at assisting students who face learning difficulties in specific subject areas. The LSC is not described as a specialist SEN institution, but rather as an in-school support service.
