In round 1, the school considers the results of the primary school years and the final exam scores of the first semester of grade 5 in Math, Vietnamese, and English. For students following the French program, the school considers the scores of French and bilingual subjects.
Students who pass this round will take a competency assessment test in April and May in three subjects: Math, Literature, and Foreign Language.
Admission score is the score of three subjects plus priority and incentive points (for Doan Thi Diem primary school students or those with city, national, or international awards in grades 4 and 5).
Archimedes Academy Secondary School has opened registration for Grade 6 with standard and advanced classes. Students are selected by entrance exams in Math, Literature, and English. If they want to enter advanced classes, they will take additional exams in Math, Natural Sciences (Chemistry, Physics) and English.
The school holds the exam in March.
Similarly, Hanoi Star Primary and Secondary School organized an exam in March to recruit students for 6 6th grade classes, each class has 34 students.
The school said it will directly admit students who have won gold medals or first prizes at the city and national levels in Math, Science, English, Arts and Sports.
Newton Secondary and High School said it will organize several rounds of competency assessment tests to enroll 6th graders. The first round will take place on January 20, with registered students taking Math, English, and General/Information Technology tests.
In the 2024-2025 school year, Hanoi will have more than 246,000 students entering grade 6, an increase of 58,000 students compared to this year. The capital's education sector estimates that this increase in students corresponds to 30-40 schools. However, building new schools is facing many difficulties.
Therefore, many parents want their children to study at private schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, Hanoi will have more than 330,000 private school students, an increase of 20,000 compared to last year.
For public schools, the enrollment schedule for the first grade (5-year-olds, grades 1 and 6) usually begins on July 1. The city still applies the principle of enrollment by region, meaning that students from which ward or commune will be assigned to schools in that area.
