International School Hanoi where global education meets green innovation

11-08-2025

In this international School, Hanoi, students thrive through a structured IB pathway, multilingual excellence and a green-certified campus that fosters academic achievement.

At Westlink International School, we believe that the path to academic excellence begins with a clear structure, purposeful learning and a global outlook. As an IB World School and part of the International Schools Partnership - ISP, Westlink offers a robust international curriculum, a multilingual environment and a green-certified campus that collectively foster the growth of confident, capable young leaders. 

Why is a structured IB Pathway matter?

From the Early Years to the IB Diploma Programme, Westlink’s curriculum is designed to evolve with the learner. In the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), students begin to explore ideas through inquiry, building foundational knowledge and curiosity. As they move into the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), learners become independent thinkers, ready to question, analyse, and lead and to know more read learning journey for better decision for your child.  Our IB Diploma Programme equips students with the academic depth, critical thinking, and global mindset needed for university and life beyond.

I believe the school is fantastic, and the facilities here are incredible. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to join this school. Believe me, if you enrol your child here, their life will change the moment they arrive.

This structured pathway ensures continuity in learning, development of core competencies, and a deep-rooted ability to adapt in an ever-changing world. 

Multilingual Excellence: Language as a bridge to the world

At Westlink, multilingualism is more than a skill, it’s a mindset. Students become fluent in English, sustain fluency in their home languages, and engage with Spanish as an additional language. Our English as an Additional Language (EAL) support ensures that every student thrives, regardless of background, and to make the right decision for your child, enquire now for more clarity on learning experiences.  

In a community that reflects a range of cultures and nationalities, our multilingual approach promotes empathy, intercultural respect and global citizenship. It also offers real academic and cognitive benefits, helping students become more agile, perceptive and effective communicators.

A green campus that enhances learning  

Westlink’s 2.5-hectare LOTUS-certified campus is environmentally sustainable, and it’s purpose-built to support student wellbeing. Research shows that green environments improve attention, reduce stress, and positively impact academic performance. At Westlink, students learn in sunlit classrooms, engage in outdoor activities, and benefit from an ecosystem that nurtures body, mind and planet.

Students engage with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), developing a sense of responsibility. Our LOTUS-certified green campus promotes wellbeing and learning, offering a calm, healthy environment where students thrive.

Sustainability is woven into the daily rhythm of school life, encouraging students to think critically about their world and their role in shaping a more sustainable future. 

Westlink was awarded by the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC) in 2024. This underscores our dedication to  environmental stewardship and sustainability. We implemented energy-efficient designs, water conservation practices, utilisation of eco-friendly materials, green tree systems, insulated roofs and rainwater harvesting in our spaces, leading to a 37.9% reduction in our energy consumption.
