Võ Nguyên Giáp Specialized High School (up to 2014 Quảng Bình Specialized High School) is an entry selective school for high-performing children, located in Đồng Hới city in Quảng Bình province, Vietnam. The school offers a basic and advanced curriculum for students, many of whom have won several national and international prizes such as the International Mathematics Olympiad, Vietnamese Mathematics Olympiad, Asian Physics Olympiad, and many other fields.

History 
Võ Nguyên Giáp Gifted High School was established in 1991 as Đào Duy Từ High School. In 1996, it was separated and named Quảng Bình Gifted High School with the aim of fostering and training students in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities.

In May 2014, the school was renamed to Võ Nguyên Giáp Gifted High School, named after General Võ Nguyên Giáp, whose hometown was in Quảng Bình province.

Education 
Like many other Vietnamese high schools, Võ Nguyên Giáp High School for the Gifted includes students in grades 10, 11, and 12. The school aims to develop students' talents in one or two subjects as well as to ensure their comprehensive development. There are ten distinct classes per grade. Nine of those classes are ones in which students can specialize in a specific subject: Math, Chemistry, Physics, Information Technology, Biology, English, History, Geography, and Literature. All students are supposed to perform at a satisfactory level with an average mark above 7.0 in order to stay enrolled at the school. Students in the specialized classes study the advanced curriculum of their subject, and are encouraged to take part in national as well as international competitions.

Admission 
There is an annual entrance examination for 9th graders in July. Students are required to take tests in four subjects: Math, Literature, English, and the subject that they wish to specialize in. Many students prepare for many months prior to the exam since the acceptance rate is quite low. Each of the gifted classes accepts 35 students at best.
