The main architecture of the school is the block of classrooms divided into three rows, connected by a multi-purpose block - a long corridor that helps students easily move between the classroom blocks. This area includes five floors (including the basement and parking lot). Adjacent to the classroom block is the library area, computer rooms, and the school cafeteria for students. The principal's office of the school is in the main gate area next to the classroom, where the school administration works, holds meetings, and sets regulations with the teacher system. This area also has a 700-seat council meeting room for students and delegates to hold events and meetings.

The indoor physical activity area is a multi-purpose sports hall with a basketball court, badminton court, and swimming pool. In the outdoor physical activity area, there is a football field, two badminton courts, a basketball court, a long jump, a runway, and a 100-meter run.

In addition, the school has other areas: Medical room area, office space, consultation rooms for each specialization, examination room with the function of preparing questions and grading for the school's specialized exams; a laboratory area dedicated to an area of about 1000 square meters for biology, geography, traditional tower, and a canteen area.

Chu Van An High School (also known as Chu Van An School, Buoi School, Chu School, or formerly known as Chu Van An High School for the Gifted) is a public high school in Hanoi. Established since 1908, Chu Van An has been one of the oldest and most prestigious secondary schools in Vietnam.

Chu Van An School features a mixed architectural style, blending nearly 100 years of French-style buildings with recent constructions under the government's national key school project. The school's infrastructure includes three 3-story buildings (A, B, and E), two 1-story buildings (C and D) constructed during the French colonial period, continuously renovated to preserve the original architectural features, providing the best learning conditions for students. For practical experiments, the school has a laboratory building (Building T) with multimedia rooms, visual aid and experiment storage rooms, laboratories, and a Pedagogical Council building (Building S) with language and computer classrooms. In terms of self-study and extracurricular activities, the school has a library, a traditional room, a modern auditorium named Thang Long Hall with 200 seats, sports fields, a football field, a basketball court, and outdoor fitness areas. Additionally, the school has dormitories for students from distant areas and three canteens: two new ones in Building K (dormitory) and an old one next to Building I (gymnasium). The school's sports ground with three clay courts has been transformed into three artificial grass courts and two tennis courts. The grass field behind Building A has also been converted into a concrete court for basketball.

The most ancient and beautiful building of the school is the library area, also known as the Octagonal House, built in 1898. Initially called the Schneider villa after its owner, a French paper mill owner named Henri Schneider. Later, the building was used as the residence of the French principal of the Bao Ho High School. In 1999, with financial support from the Ile-de-France region (France), the building was renovated and is currently used as the school's library. The reading room has been moved to the basement, while the remaining floors are used for the principal's office, music classrooms, and computer rooms. The school's traditional room, originally located in the Octagonal House, has been moved to a building behind the Thang Long Auditorium. This area was originally the residence of the new Bao Ho High School deputy principal, rebuilt in 2006.

On January 19, 2007, the school inaugurated the statue of the eminent teacher Chu Van An, one of the works prepared for the 100th anniversary of Buoi - Chu Van An School.

Today's Nguyen Hue students continue to inherit the noble traditions of previous generations, contributing to the school's charm with their academic achievements and creative work. On the foundation of comprehensive education, from 2000 to now, the school has won over 600 national awards and nearly 20 international and regional awards in cultural, sports, and environmental fields. Every year, 100% of students receive good and excellent academic performance ratings.

Phan Dinh Phung High School (30 Phan Dinh Phung, Quan Thanh, Ba Dinh, Hanoi) was established on March 10, 1973. Later in 1996, it merged with Hoang Dieu High School to become Phan Dinh Phung High School. To commemorate its 45th anniversary, the school collaborated with a group of artists to create 28 murals outside the school walls, aiming to convey the most humane values and messages about Hanoi, both past and present. The three murals near the school gate are brightly colored and cheerful, while the remaining 25 murals are in subdued brown tones, telling the story of Hanoi - Thang Long. The current headquarters of Phan Dinh Phung High School was originally a teacher training school (École Normale d'instituteur) during the French colonial period, training elementary school teachers. In 1923, the school changed to the Dong Duong Higher Primary School (École Primaire Superieur Indochinoise, abbreviated as E.P.S.I) named after Do Huu Vi, the first pilot in Dong Duong (Indochina).

Nestled under the cool shade of ancient banyan trees, quietly behind the bustling long street of people and vehicles, is the venerable school named after the great patriot of the 19th century: Phan Dinh Phung High School. Next to the Cua Bac gate, shining with the traditions of heroes, along the Nhị Hà River with a thousand years of undulating waves, the school has passed 40 years of construction and development with pride. The heroic drumbeat of the past still resonates in the vibrant school drum today, urging the generations of students to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, promoting and glorifying that traditional heritage. Born right after the most intense days of the resistance war against the U.S. to save the country (March 10, 1973), the school is proud to be a place that has trained many generations of students in the capital. For each generation of Phan Dinh Phung students, the years of studying with friends, teachers are the happy months and years, becoming memories of an unforgettable youth.

Thang Long High School was established in 1920 in Hanoi. At that time, there was a private school named Thang Long that provided education up to the communal level (equivalent to present-day middle school) until 1935 when it expanded to the gifted level (equivalent to present-day high school). Thang Long has been renowned for concentrating many patriotic intellectuals as the teachers of the school who trained many students that later became revolutionary soldiers, holding various leadership positions in Party and State organizations.

Enduring the ups and downs of history, from the temporary occupation of Hanoi, the school continued to exist until the liberation of the capital. Following the Party's direction to nationalize private schools and separate three levels of general education, Thang Long did the same: Level 1 retained the name Thang Long at the Tram Alley location, now an honored unit in the Education sector. The high school section moved to Tran Hung Dao Street, named Minh Tan (now the location of Vo Thi Sau School). In 1960, two private schools, Minh Tan and Nguyen Hue, merged into one and were nationalized under the name Trung Vuong 3B high school, conducting afternoon classes with Trung Vuong 3A on Hang Bai Street. In 1963 - 1964, this facility moved to Trung Vuong 2, and Trung Vuong 3B moved to Quynh Alley, Bach Mai Street, sharing facilities with Doan Ket Secondary School (Hai Ba Trung District).
