TPO - To avoid the situation of parents lining up overnight in front of the school gate to get a number to submit their admission application for the first grade like in previous school years, next school year Marie Curie Hanoi School will accept admission applications for the first grade online but with a limited registration time.

According to the plan, in the 2025-2026 school year, Marie Curie School will enroll 660 first-grade students for all three campuses. Of which, My Dinh campus (Nam Tu Liem), where parents previously had to line up overnight to get experience tickets for first-grade enrollment next school year, will enroll 180 students; Kien Hung campus (Ha Dong) will enroll 180 students and Viet Hung campus (Long Bien) will enroll the most, up to 300 students.

For grade 6, this school year will recruit 1,080 students, 360 students per campus; recruit more than 1,300 students for grade 10, of which My Dinh campus recruits 360 students, Van Phu campus recruits 420 students, Viet Hung campus recruits 540 students.

Regarding the admission method, Marie Curie School will let students experience a day of eating, sleeping, and participating in school activities to recruit first grade students.

Grade 5 students of primary schools will take the Math and English proficiency test to get the results of grade 6 admission.

As for grade 10, the school will wait for the results of the general exam organized by the Hanoi Department of Education and Training to have the admission standards. In April, the school will have specific instructions on grade 10 admission for parents and students to know.

In previous years, Marie Curie School was often “hot” for first grade enrollment. Parents worried about not being able to get a one-day experience ticket from the school, so they often lined up from early morning until late at night to wait for a number. Because on the day the application gate opened, the school only distributed a certain number of experience tickets. Anyone who arrived late would run out of tickets and “be left empty-handed”.

Since last year, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training has required all schools to implement online enrollment registration, which has solved the problem of parents lining up at school gates.

However, according to the announcement, although in the 2025-2026 school year, parents can register their children online, the time for opening the portal to receive applications will be limited. This is to limit the number of applications, causing difficulties in organizing enrollment for grades 1 and 6.
