ABOUT US

Hanoi International Kindergarten (HIK) was opened by an Early Childhood Education (ECE) Practitioner – Leah Ingles – using primarily an Australian philosophy and methodology.

The school has since been developed by Chung Gilliland Pham, an ECE specialist and a postgraduate alumnus of the University of Southern Queensland and Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (Australia).

Chung has since introduced and developed the curriculum under the guidelines of the British Curriculum for the Early Years. Being the first fully registered kindergarten in Hanoi, HIK offers truly international learning facilities for your child.
