It is one of the first private schools in Hanoi, i.e., not fully or partially funded by the government. In 1993, they founded a primary school which is also named Nguyễn Siêu Primary School, behind Thành Công Primary School. Unusual for schools in Hanoi at the time, both Nguyễn Siêu Primary and Secondary School teach both in the morning and in the afternoon, while most schools only teach students either morning or afternoon depending on their preferences. Although Nguyễn Siêu School has two separate complexes, they were being treated as if they are a single school, meaning a student can study in the same school from grade 1 all the way to grade 12.
