Welcome to the Hong Kong Academy website! We are glad you chose to learn more about our school.
HKA is a lead international school with a personal, individualized approach to education and an engaged, close-knit community. With well over 600 students, HKA offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma Programmes for students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade. At HKA, we value active inquiry, celebrate curiosity, and engage students in the wonder of learning.
Hong Kong Academy is a dynamic learning community that provides a rigorous international education characterized by mutual benefit and support. As an educational leader, HKA empowers learners to pursue pathways to individual excellence by fostering creativity, communication, and problem-solving skills. HKA learners develop an evolving understanding of our changing world, leading them to engage in responsible action motivated by their interests, strengths, and ongoing reflection. HKA is committed to maintaining a diverse, collaborative and captivating learning environment in which students become adaptable, confident, and tolerant, equipping them for the future.
HKA believes that a diverse community, grounded in mutual respect, enhances learning for all members of the community. Learning with friends who come from different parts of the world, speak different languages at home, identify with different religions and belief systems and possess different skills, talents and interests develop open-mindedness, an important component of our student's future success.
At HKA, diversity includes learning styles and abilities. HKA’s student body is rich in individuals who reflect the world at large and who possess an array of talents across multiple pathways to individual excellence: intellectual, physical, social, and emotional.
As HKA further develops its unique curriculum, programs, and learning culture, the school has a responsibility to share its best practices and success stories with the larger educational community. The school’s faculty and administration continually converse and collaborate with leading educational institutions and organizations as well as with colleagues in international schools regionally and globally.
HKA is especially committed to engaging in professional dialogue with other education leaders who promote innovative and creative ways of supporting students and who seek to improve instructional practices through prototyping and feedback. Teachers are encouraged to pursue further professional development and share their day-to-day experiences at HKA with the wider educational community. In doing so, they become ambassadors for the school through experiences such as acting as workshop leaders and presenters, accreditation team visitors, and as writers for journals or other publications.
HKA provides a rigorous international education for Early Childhood, Primary School, and Secondary School students. Working within its framework of Learning, Growing, and Understanding and authorized as an International Baccalaureate World School offering all three programs (Primary Years, Middle Years, and the Diploma), HKA provides a rigorous curriculum that promotes depth and breadth of understanding and challenges students to reach their full potential.
Faculty and staff are our most valuable resources and have the greatest impact on the quality of learning experiences for students. HKA is committed to finding the best teachers from around the world and nurturing their talents by providing access to high-quality professional development. To promote continuity and sustainable change, teachers are encouraged to seek personal growth opportunities within the school, locally, regionally, and internationally that align with the mission and priorities of the school.
