The HUS High School for Gifted Students, commonly known as High School for Gifted Students of Science (HSGS; Vietnamese: Trường Trung học phổ thông chuyên Khoa học Tự nhiên), is a specialized, most-selective (6% acceptance rate) public magnet school of VNU University of Science, a member of Vietnam National University, Hanoi system. The school serves as a national educational institution to nurture talented Vietnamese students who excelled at natural sciences. The largest percentage of its graduates attend the most prestigious universities in Vietnam.

The department of Mathematics was established first in 1965, followed by the department of Physics; the department of Chemistry and Biology was established in 1998.

HUS High School for Gifted Students is ranked the first in National Science Olympiads (national qualification for International Science Olympiad such as IMO, IOI, IPhO, IChO, and IBO).[1]. This is also the high school where Professor Ngô Bảo Châu, the first Vietnamese recipient of the Fields medal, studied.

Foundation and history

[edit]

In September 1965, renowned Vietnamese mathematician and Professor Hoàng Tụy, supported by Professor Lê Văn Thiêm, Professor Ngụy Như Kon Tum, Professor Tạ Quang Bửu and Prime Minister Phạm Văn Đồng, founded the Special class of Mathematics with 38 students at the temporary war-time evacuation location of University of Hanoi in Đại Từ District, Thái Nguyên Province. This class was the precursor of HUS High School for Gifted Students.

From 1966 to 1985, the school had the name Specialized School of Mathematics and Informatics, which were under the administration of the faculty of Mathematics, Mechanics, Informatics - Hanoi University of Science.

In 1998: Specialized School of Science.

In June 2010: the High School for Gifted Students, Hanoi University of Science.[2]

The HUS High School for Gifted Students was honored with national awards: the 3rd degree Labor Decoration in 1985, the 2nd degree Labor Decoration in 1995, the 1st degree Labor Decoration in 2000; the Independence Decoration and the Hero of Labor in 2005.

Education

[edit]

Most notably, the school's mathematics and science curriculums are accelerated, and a 3-year standard curriculum at normal public high schools is condensed into the 2.5-year specialized curriculum and the 0.5-year College Entrance Exam preparation. The school also offers honours courses in the Specializations (see below) to further stretch the abilities of able students beyond the already-accelerated curriculum.

The HUS High school for Gifted Students now comprises six specializations:

Each department, led by a head of department, had been under the administration of a faculty of Hanoi University of Science until 2010. In 2010, the name High School for Gifted Students was officially used with the establishment of an independent high school under the direct administration of HUS school board instead of each separate faculty.

In the National Science Olympiad, each of the departments chooses 10 talented students to represent VNU University of Science.
