The Olympia Schools

What The Olympia Schools does

The Olympia Schools (Trường phổ thông liên cấp song ngữ Olympia) is a private bilingual K-12 institution operating a single campus in the Trung Van New Urban Area, Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi, Vietnam. Founded circa 2003 and operated by Công ty Cổ Phần Giáo Dục và Đào Tạo DREAM HOUSE (DREAM HOUSE Education and Training Joint Stock Company), the school serves Vietnamese families across four education tiers — pre-primary (ages 4-5), primary (Grades 1-4), middle school (Grades 5-8), and high school (Grades 9-12) — under three parallel program tracks: the bilingual Olympia program, the Integrated Vietnam-USA program with Marianapolis Preparatory School (3+1 model delivering dual diplomas at ~25% the cost of full US study abroad), and the IB Diploma Programme. Olympia was the first bilingual school in Hanoi to receive full ACS-WASC accreditation and the first bilingual school in Vietnam to become an IB World School.

The school's core product is delivered through a blended learning methodology combining offline classroom instruction (Vietnam MOET + Marianapolis curriculum), online learning with native Marianapolis teachers, and an overseas study semester component. Supporting products include the Oxford International School (The OIS, delivering six subjects to Oxford standards via AQA), the Griffin Scholarship Ecosystem (Blooms, Juniors, Scholars, Oxford International Scholars — over 50 billion VND in 2026), the University and Career Counseling Office (UCC), the Olympia Global Fellowship (OGFP) research program for Grades 7-10, the Junior Philosophy Olympiad (JPO), and the Canvas-based LMS for parent-student communication. Faculty are drawn from 17 countries with 40-70% holding advanced degrees from universities including Stanford, Harvard, Oxford, Dartmouth, and Cornell.

The business model is tuition-driven and recurring, with revenue sourced from tuition and fees across the four education levels, international certificate preparation (IELTS, SAT, AP, IB), overseas study semester fees at Marianapolis, and ancillary services (transportation, meals, uniforms). Pricing is publicly disclosed via annual fee PDFs, with class sizes of 15-20 students in the Integrated program. Distribution is direct-to-consumer at the single campus, with enrollment driven by open days, webinars, hotlines, and parent referrals. Approximately 70% of Integrated program students receive university scholarships, with alumni admitted to institutions across 17 countries including Harvard, Stanford, Dartmouth, and Amherst.
