Foreign Language Specialized School (Vietnamese: Phổ Thông Chuyên Ngoại Ngữ), commonly known as FLSS or CNN, is a national public magnet high school/university-preparatory school in Hanoi, Vietnam. A part of University of Languages and International Studies - VNU, the school is one of the three national gifted high schools in Hanoi, along with HNUE Gifted High School and Natural Science Gifted High School. Currently, FLSS is Vietnam's only high school specializing in teaching foreign languages (including Chinese Mandarin, English, Russian, French, German, Japanese).[1] Similar to other national magnet high schools, FLSS is recognized for its strong academic programs and for its large percentage (98% to 100%) of graduates attending the most prestigious universities in Vietnam and abroad.[2][3]

FLSS ranks third nationally in the 2012 Vietnam university admission ranking.[4] Admission to FLSS is by competitive examination only, which consists of three subjects: Declared specialized foreign language, mathematics and literature. FLSS is the most selective high school in Vietnam with an acceptance rate of 9.5% in 2015.[5][6]
