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 like in previous school years, next school year Marie Curie Hanoi School will accept admission applications online but with a limited registration time.

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

For grade 6, this school year will recruit 1,080 students, each campus will recruit 360 students; recruit more than 1,300 students for grade 10, of which My Dinh campus will recruit 360 students, Van Phu campus will recruit 420 students, Viet Hung campus will recruit 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 primary school students will take the Math and English proficiency test to get the results for 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 benchmark. In April, this 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 admission to the first grade. Parents worried about not being able to get a one-day experience card 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 cards. Those who arrived late would run out of tickets and "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 in front of 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.
