Parents of students enrolled at the United Nations International School of Hanoi (UNIS Hanoi) are required to pay tuition and fees as detailed in the Tuition and Fees Schedule. Parents have the option of paying annually, or on a semester installment basis when signing the Enrollment contract. Tuition & Fees applicable under the semester installment payment plan are subject to a four percent (4%) administrative charge.
Enrolment Fees

This fee is payable when a student is offered a placement at UNIS Hanoi and must be paid before attending classes. This fee is paid only once, as long as a student is continuously enrolled. If a student leaves UNIS Hanoi for a period of more than two years and subsequently re-enrols, the Enrolment Fee is again payable.
Other Fees
The following fees may be applicable:
School Bus Fee: USD 1,100 per year (one-way USD 660) or USD 600 per semester (one-way USD 360) for those students who elect to use transport contracted by UNIS Hanoi which may be paid either annually or on a semester basis. There will be no pro-rata refund for withdrawal from the bus service during a particular semester. All parents requesting bus transport must register for this service.

Miscellaneous expenses: Students may incur costs during the school year that are not outlined in the Tuition and Fees Schedule such as optional field trips, t-shirts, lunches and sporting events, etc.
