Application Fee

3,000,000 VND
This fee is paid to the school at the same time that the application is submitted. An application should only be made after a consultation with a HAIS Admissions professional, who will advise parents of the year/grade level placement, availability of spaces and potential waiting lists. Applying to the school does not guarantee a space for a student. This fee is paid only once, as long as the student is continuously enrolled at Hoi An International School.

Admissions Assessment

1,000,000 VND
Before starting at the school, each student (except Early Years students) will need to undergo an Admissions Assessment. The Admissions Department will advise on the length and structure of the assessment. Should the school decide that additional learning support is needed based on the results, as available, the School will develop a study programme for the respective student (at an additional cost).

Facility Enhancement Fee

22,000,000 VND
The Facility Enhancement Fee is due annually at the same time as tuition payment. This fee builds a capital fund to purchase equipment or enhance school facilities.

Meals

School meals (morning snack and lunch for all students, and afternoon snack for Early Years) are purchased in line with tuition payments (annually, biannually or quarterly). Families may send a snack and lunchbox to school with a student instead of purchasing the meal package.

Transportation

Transportation services are purchased at the time of the student’s tuition payments (annually, biannually or quarterly). School transportation is on a first-come, first served basis. If all the buses are full, student(s) will be placed on a waiting list before a new bus starts. Families may choose to provide their own transportation instead.

15% discount on transportation services for families who reside > 10km from the school if annual payment is paid in full by May 15, 2023

Extracurricular Activities

Extracurricular Activities (ECAs) are offered at various periods throughout the school year. Parents may enrol their child(ren) in the ECA Programme through the Administrative Office. Payment for ECA’s varies from term to term depending on the activity. Cost is to be paid before the activity(ies) commence. If ECAs are cancelled, the school will arrange a make-up day for cancelled activities.

Field Trips

This cost relates to field trips that are not Local (Hoi An) field trips. The cost for distance field trips (i.e. Da Nang or further) will be determined and informed during the school year, depending on the curriculum and field trip’s destination. The cost is to be paid before the trip.

English Support

500,000 VND/hour (With International Teacher) & 350,000 VND/hour (With Vietnamese Teacher)

Academic Support

700,000 VND/hour
Students joining the school are asked to provide an academic history and indicate if they have previously received or were recommended learning/academic support. HAIS will enrol students requiring learning or academic support up to a determined threshold, where available, and the appropriateness of this support will be reviewed regularly.

Full-Time Support

When a full-time 1:1 aide/teaching assistant is required to meet a student’s learning needs, parents are responsible for sourcing the aide/teaching assistant and covering any associated costs. Wherever possible, HAIS will assist in finding an aide and assessing their suitability, with the financial responsibility being with the parents.
