2026-27 Tuition Incentive

We are proud to offer the incentive for up to 15% tuition reduction for up to 8 years for new families enrolling in the 2026-27 academic year.

This exclusive incentive allows families to secure their child’s place at Dwight School Hanoi while joining a growing community that fosters innovation and prepares students to become global leaders.

Families who register and complete all 2026-27 payments by 31 May 2026 will receive the full 15% tuition discount. Families who complete payments after this date will receive a 10% discount.

Incentive Duration:

  • PS3 – Kindergarten: up to 8 academic years, until end of Grade 5
  • Grades 1 – 11: 3 academic years

To accommodate each family’s financial considerations, families may choose how to apply the incentive through one of two pathways:

  • Tuition Discount for up to 8 years as stated above, or:
  • Miscellaneous Fee Waiver: A one-time waiver of application and enrollment fees, and waivers of bus and lunch fees for up to 8 years.

This incentive cannot be combined with any other discounts, incentives or scholarships, unless stated otherwise in each separate program.

Sibling Incentive

Siblings of students currently enrolled at Dwight School Hanoi, as well as those enrolling in the future, will receive a full waiver of application and enrollment fees. If these fees have already been waived under another program, the waiver will apply only once.

Families with three or more children enrolled simultaneously at Dwight School Hanoi will also receive a 10% tuition discount for the third child and a 15% tuition discount for the fourth and subsequent child(ren). These discounts will be applied to the youngest child(ren) in attendance, and may be combined with other tuition discounts and incentive programs, except for scholarships.
