Hanoi approves plans to develop Hanoi-Amsterdam and Chu Van An Gifted High Schools toward international standards

6:33 PM, Thu May 07, 2026

Vice Chairwoman of the Hanoi People's Committee Vu Thu Ha has signed Decision No. 2366/QD-UBND dated May 7, 2026, approving two projects to develop Hanoi-Amsterdam High School for the Gifted and Chu Van An High School for the Gifted into specialized schools approaching international standards.

Under the decision, the development orientation for Hanoi-Amsterdam High School for the Gifted is based on the goal of transforming the school into a specialized institution approaching international standards. Directions and solutions are built upon tasks identified in the school's proposal and reorganized into a coherent development framework to ensure consistency, feasibility, and suitability with the realities of the public-school model.

The orientations focus on key areas, including educational programs and academic activities, faculty development, facilities and technology application, international cooperation, and educational quality assurance.

The project also includes solutions such as developing advanced modules and specialized topics in fields including natural sciences, social sciences, foreign languages, technology, and the arts to meet the requirements of gifted student education and move closer to international standards.

The school will strengthen the integration of STEM/STEAM education, sustainable development education, technology education, digital transformation, and innovation into the curriculum through a suitable and phased roadmap.

Information technology and digital platforms will be applied in teaching and learning, with gradual implementation of blended learning models.

The school will also gradually introduce English-language teaching for selected subjects, modules, or academic activities in science and technology, in line with the practical capacity of teachers and students.

Students will be guided in conducting research projects, science and technology initiatives, and innovation activities connected to real-world issues.

Academic activities will also be linked to technology competitions, startup contests, and innovation programs.

Forums, clubs, and experiential activities will be organized to foster national pride and help students better understand and take responsibility for preserving traditional cultural values in the digital era.

The school will expand international academic cooperation while maintaining the principle of "integration without assimilation," using Vietnamese cultural values as the foundation for all international exchange activities.

For Chu Van An High School for the Gifted, the program will be built on the 2018 General Education Curriculum while developing advanced specialized content to identify, nurture, and develop students' outstanding abilities.

The program is designed as a high-quality academic education model aimed at regional and international standards, while still using the national curriculum as its core foundation to ensure stability, sustainability, and compatibility with Vietnam's practical conditions.

The educational roadmap from grades 10 to 12 at Chu Van An High School for the Gifted is also based on the 2018 General Education Curriculum while expanding into a specialized academic model that ensures legal compliance, scientific structure, and systematic organization of educational activities.

Throughout the entire roadmap, English will be established as the school's second language and gradually integrated into teaching, learning, and academic activities. This is intended to help students access modern knowledge, participate in international standardized exams such as the SAT and AP, and improve competitiveness in admissions to prestigious universities in Vietnam and abroad.

The school will organize specialized English training courses, targeting 100% of teachers to achieve at least Level 4 under Vietnam's six-level foreign language framework and 90% to reach Level 5 by 2035.

Teacher training aligned with international standards will also be promoted through cooperation with Cambridge International Education or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Organization. The goal is for 50% of teachers to obtain certificates for teaching integrated international programs by 2028 and 90% by 2035.

Chu Van An High School for the Gifted is also oriented toward building a comprehensive "Digital School" model that combines modern technology with data-driven governance to optimize educational effectiveness.

The model focuses on five core components: digital leadership with data-based decision-making; digital teaching with interactive lessons and flipped classrooms; broadband digital infrastructure; a data ecosystem enabling personalized learning pathways; and a digital community connection platform linking the school, parents, and alumni.

The school will apply international standards frameworks such as UNESCO ICT-CFT and ISTE, while following the Ministry of Education and Training's indicators to measure "digital maturity," shifting from traditional administrative management to smart and transparent governance.

One of the project's breakthroughs is the introduction of a unique Learning ID for each student, functioning as a "learning passport" that integrates all academic data, including grades, scientific research achievements, international certificates, extracurricular activities, and digital competencies.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to become a key assistant in reducing administrative workloads and improving professional quality. AI will support teachers in designing lessons, creating exams, automating grading, and analyzing each student's strengths and weaknesses to provide early academic risk warnings.

The school's classrooms and laboratories will be designed in line with international-oriented specialized school standards, meeting both the requirements of the 2018 General Education Curriculum and international output standards such as A-Level, SAT, IELTS, MOS, and other international academic certificates.

The student dormitory area will follow a Student Dormitory Complex model, including residential rooms, common living areas, evening self-study zones, and student support spaces, ensuring safe, modern, and high-quality living conditions appropriate for an advanced educational environment.
