Under the agreement, the K-12 complex will include 8 schools, serving students from primary through high school, with a planned capacity of approximately 2,500 students upon completion.
The curriculum is expected to combine Vietnam’s national education program with a Cambridge pathway, alongside programs in STEM, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, arts, and life skills.

The education complex will cover more than 22,000 square meters and be developed in two phases.
The first phase includes a three-story kindergarten and a five-story integrated school on a site of nearly 11,000 square meters The campus, designed by Gensler Architecture Design Firm, is scheduled to begin operations and enroll its first students in September 2028.
Speaking at the ceremony, Gary Tseng, General Director of Phu My Hung Development Corporation and Chairman of Vietinbank Trade Union Investment Joint Stock Company (VTU), said the partnership was intended as a long-term collaboration focused on education and future workforce development.
EQuest Chief Financial Officer Truong Hoang Nam said the project builds on the company’s existing cooperation with Phu My Hung in South Saigon, where EQuest operates the Canadian International School (CIS) and Sedbergh Vietnam. He said the Hong Hac City project represents an expansion of that partnership into northern Vietnam.
Nam said Bac Ninh has been attracting increasing domestic and foreign investment, as well as a growing number of professionals, contributing to demand for additional education options.
“We do not view education as simply an amenity within an urban development but as an important component of social infrastructure,” he said.

On the same day, Phu My Hung unveiled the second show house in its Bespoke Collection at Hong Hac City.
According to Bui Duy Toan, the new model differs from the first show house, which featured a modern Indochine style, by adopting a Japanese Zen-inspired design developed in collaboration with Nomura. The concept emphasizes natural materials, open space, and a connection with the surrounding environment.
“We want to offer customers a wider range of lifestyle choices,” he said, adding that additional show houses with different design themes may be introduced in the future.
