A HOLISTIC EDUCATION FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW<br />
Teaching and learning at <strong>HKA</strong> is dynamic, engaging and student-centred. Innovative<br />
and future-focussed programmes support students to develop into independent and<br />
self-directed learners. We use the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme<br />
(IB MYP) and Diploma Programme (IB DP) to deliver a rigorous, robust and balanced<br />
curriculum. In every subject area, students are challenged to think critically and creatively<br />
as well as communicate precisely and effectively. They develop research, collaboration and<br />
self-management skills that transfer across contexts. From Grade 6 to Grade 12, students<br />
build upon their strengths, identify areas for further growth and reflect on their interests<br />
and aspirations to determine their best-fit pathway to graduation.<br />
NURTURING GLOBAL CITIZENS<br />
As an international community, we recognise the<br />
importance of educating students to contribute to<br />
the world in meaningful and sustainable ways. <strong>HKA</strong><br />
students engage with a wide range of partner<br />
organisations and use their passions to launch their own<br />
initiatives. This commitment to self-directed learning<br />
culminates in the Global Citizen Diploma, a credential<br />
that celebrates each student’s individual journey<br />
towards global citizenship.<br />

LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM<br />
<strong>HKA</strong> students are motivated to act based on their<br />
interests, passions and strengths. Whether during<br />
a service project, on a sports pitch or through a<br />
performance, we provide an extensive range of<br />
opportunities for personal growth and sustained<br />
commitment that are enhanced in the co-curricular<br />
context. <strong>Secondary</strong> <strong>School</strong> students initiate clubs and<br />
activities that promote community engagement and<br />
participate in a number of field trips and off-campus<br />
excursions throughout the year.<br />

LEARNER ENHANCEMENTS<br />
We believe that every child has gifts to be nurtured and<br />
celebrated. We challenge, motivate and support each student<br />
to achieve their greatest potential, and our inclusive learning<br />
environment mirrors the real world in its diversity and<br />
complexity. This commitment to inclusivity begins with our<br />
youngest learners and extends through to graduation. For<br />
students at every age, counselling and wellbeing are<br />
fundamental aspects of our programme. Additional<br />
interventions, extensions and language instruction are also<br />
available through personalised learner enhancements.<br />

INSPIRING ON THE STAGE<br />
Through the performing arts, students create, collaborate<br />
and innovate, elevating their talents in music, dance,<br />
drama and theatre tech. Our world-class rehearsal and<br />
performance spaces include a 350-seat professional grade<br />
theatre, 80-seat studio theatre, dance studios, music<br />
studios and noise-isolation practice spaces. We are home<br />
to the International <strong>School</strong>s Theatre Association<br />
Performing Arts Academy, which connects students<br />
with industry professionals via masterclasses, workshops<br />
and internships.<br />
LEADING ON THE COURT<br />
Our sports programme focuses on the development of<br />
collaboration, leadership and technical skills through<br />
both recreational and competitive play. Student athletes<br />
represent <strong>HKA</strong> in a wide range of individual and team<br />
events at competitions both locally and internationally.<br />
Our 800-seat gymnasium, indoor climbing wall,<br />
multi-purpose outdoor sports court, all-weather football<br />
pitch, fitness studios and weight training gym support<br />
athletes to achieve their sporting goals all year round.
