Fairmont International School Vietnam Opens: American AP And Bilingual MOET In One Campus
Compare American AP And Bilingual MOET At Fairmont Hanoi
Hanoi families hunting for a US-aligned school now have a new name to tour: Fairmont International School Vietnam (FISV). It is the first campus in Southeast Asia to carry the Fairmont name, and it opened its 2026–2027 chapter on a 1.2-hectare site at No. 6 Hoang Minh Giam Street, Yen Hoa Ward.
- The school is the former Hanoi Toronto School, rebranded from August 2026 as Fairmont’s sixth campus worldwide. Fairmont Schools began in Orange County, California, in 1953. FISV also sits inside International Schools Partnership (ISP), a network of more than 110 schools across 25 countries. That mix matters if you want American academic structure plus a bilingual option that still honors Vietnam’s national pathway.
THE SCOOP ON FAIRMONT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL VIETNAM:
- Two pathways, one campus. Families pick an American International Program aligned to US Common Core (with AP planned in high school) or a bilingual program that follows Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training requirements, enriched with international standards.
- Yen Hoa, not a far-flung satellite. The campus sits at No. 6, Hoang Minh Giam Street, Yen Hoa Ward — the former Hanoi Toronto School site in the Dong Nam Tran Duy Hung urban area — so existing families keep their commute.
- A network behind the name. FISV belongs to International Schools Partnership, with more than 110 schools across 25-plus countries, plus Fairmont’s “One School, Two Homes” link to California campuses.
- Apply year-round. Enquiry, campus tour, documents, review (assessment or interview by age), then an offer. A registration fee and deposit secure the place. Admissions: +84 869 111 800 or [email protected].
What ages and grades does Fairmont International School Vietnam take?
FISV is a through-train campus from PreK to Grade 12 in Yen Hoa, Hanoi. Confirm the exact entry year and class size for your child, because seats are subject to availability.
Is FISV the same school as Hanoi Toronto School?
Yes. Hanoi Toronto School rebranded as Fairmont International School Vietnam from August 2026. Same Hoang Minh Giam campus, new Fairmont name, and a U.S. Common Core–aligned academic direction for the 2026–2027 year.
What curriculum do students follow at FISV?
Families choose an American International Program aligned with U.S. Common Core, or a bilingual path based on Vietnam’s national curriculum with international enrichment. AP courses are planned for high school.
Is Fairmont Hanoi a brand-new school?
No. From August 2026, Hanoi Toronto School continues on the same Yen Hoa campus under the Fairmont name. The community, site, and through-school age range stay; the academic frame shifts toward Common Core and clearer US-facing university pathways.
Does Fairmont Vietnam offer AP or IB?
AP is the planned high-school add-on, not IB. Students work toward a globally recognized qualification with personalized university counseling for the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and beyond. Fairmont’s California schools report that 94% of graduates are accepted into Top 100 US universities — a system claim, not yet a Hanoi results table.
How do I apply or book a tour at FISV?
Start with the enquiry form, then tour, then apply. Admissions may add an assessment or interview by age. Call +84 869 111 800 or email [email protected].
Where is the campus and how do families get there?
The address is No. 6 Hoang Minh Giam Street, Yen Hoa Ward, Hanoi. Ask admissions about current bus routes, pickup windows, and whether younger siblings can wait on site during a tour.
Why Little Steps Loves It:
- A genuine US Common Core frame in a city where IB and British routes usually dominate the conversation.
- Planned AP gives older students a concrete way to show rigor on applications to North America and beyond.
- Counseling is built into the pitch, so the diploma is not left to figure out in the final term.
Who It's Perfect For:
Fairmont is aiming at Hanoi through-school families who need a choice between a US diploma and a bilingual MOET track — on one Yen Hoa campus. Not a boarding school, not IB, not a greenfield startup.
What Else:
Not every Hanoi family wants a fully English-medium American diploma. Some need Vietnamese to stay strong for local exams, grandparents, or a possible return to the national system. FISV’s bilingual program follows the Vietnamese National Curriculum under MOET, then layers international learning standards on top so English does not become an afterthought.
