Our purpose and passion<br />

Hong Kong Academy is a dynamic learning community that<br />

provides a rigorous international education characterized by<br />

mutual benefit and support.<br />

As an educational leader, HKA empowers learners to pursue<br />

pathways to individual excellence by fostering creativity,<br />

communication and problem-solving skills.<br />

HKA learners develop an evolving understanding of our<br />

changing world, leading them to engage in responsible action<br />

motivated by their interests, strengths and ongoing reflection.<br />

HKA is committed to maintaining a diverse, collaborative<br />

and captivating learning environment in which students<br />

become adaptable, confident and tolerant, equipping them<br />

for the future.<br />

Our five core values<br />

• Learning for Understanding<br />

We see learning as more than simply gaining knowledge.<br />

We want our students to appreciate and respond to<br />

multiple points of view and possess a self-awareness that<br />

allows them to continue to learn, grow, and adapt in a<br />

rapidly changing environment.<br />

• Individual Excellence<br />

We believe that students are individuals with a diverse<br />

range of strengths and learning styles, and develop in<br />

them the self-confidence to master traditional skills and<br />

the resourcefulness to embrace new situations and<br />

knowledge with success.<br />

• Engagement with Community<br />

We believe that our students have an individual and<br />

collective responsibility in their society, including their<br />

neighbourhood, Hong Kong, China and the wider world.<br />

• Dynamic Educational Environment<br />

We encourage inquiring learners to build on their own<br />

experiences to construct knowledge and create meaning<br />

while integrating with and learning from those around them.<br />

• Intentional Diversity<br />

We cultivate a community of individual from more than 42<br />

countries who possess an array of different talents in all<br />

areas: intellectual, physical, social and emotional.<br />

Faculty members are selected for their professionalism, high<br />

level of qualifications, skills and creativity as well as their<br />

international teaching perspective and educational philosophy.
