Hangzhou International SchoolDescription
As an IB World School, we provide a rigorous, high-caliber academic program for all ages of students. While HIS already has a highly reputed International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB DP) for Grades 11-12, we are also authorized with the full IB Continuum of study, which includes delivering the Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) for Grades EY-5 and the Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) for Grades 6-10.
These programs are recognized worldwide, and therefore, whether your next educational experience is back to your home country or to another international school, you can be assured of the 'portability' and acceptance of your child’s achievements at HIS. HIS students continue to score well above peer norms on NWEA MAP, PSAT and SAT standardized test measures while still having a “complete” learning experience within a rich and comprehensive extracurricular program.
Upper School student participation in IB coursework is 100% and final results have been truly exceptional (recently rated by Newsweek magazine as a top IB school in Asia). Graduates have earned the highest scores on the SATs and IB Diploma, and each year since 2004 many will attend top-50 universities around the world.
