Recognized by more than 5,000 top universities in over 100 different countries across the world, the IBDP at BIS Hanoi inspires students to excel academically, personally, and creatively.

This excellence is achieved through dynamic teaching, real-world experiences, and the opportunity to truly personalize how and what they learn.

According to the International Baccalaureate Organization, evidence shows that students in the IBDP tend to pursue higher education at higher rates than their peers.

They are also more frequently admitted to selective institutions and perform better in their post-secondary studies, with higher rates of post-secondary completion.

Armed with an IB Diploma, the majority of BIS graduates receive offers from their first-choice universities, half of which rank in the world's top 100.
