Service, sustainability, and wellbeing

At BVIS Hanoi, we want our students to feel good and do good. Mindful activities like colouring, creative writing, and poetry boost wellbeing, while learning a musical instrument exercises the brain and provides a real sense of achievement. Your child can also take on leadership roles in school, become an ‘eco warrior’, and support one of our many community service projects.
