Chu Van An High School for the Gifted (No. 10 Thuy Khue Street) is one of the oldest schools in the country, established in 1908. The school has been recognized as a national historical relic according to Decision No. 76/2004/QD-BVHTT dated August 23, 2004 of the Ministry of Culture - Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism ).
