ICHK HLY is a leader in outdoor learning. Their Forest Schools programme was the first Forest Schools Leadership Centre in Hong Kong. This focus has led to them being a winner in the prestigious International School Awards for their work on sustainability.  They have a large field and outdoor areas including a Woods area where students can practice outdoor skills such as fire lighting, tree climbing and slacklining. Their own Miyawaki Forest and Organic Farm are spaces where children can learn how to nurture and care for plants. Their Kindergarten has its own outdoor areas where children can play, dig and grow plants as well as experience the joy of holding soil in their hands in their mud kitchen.

With approximately 400 students from age 2.8 until 11 years old ICHK HLY is small enough for everyone to know each other yet large enough to be able to run a diverse and innovative curriculum and a wide range of extracurricular activities. English is the main medium of instruction supplemented by a strong daily Mandarin programme where students are taught using traditional characters. All staff are trained to teach bilingual and multilingual learners (BML’s) and they are the only accredited BML Smart School in Hong Kong. ICHK HLY has been an authorized IB PYP school since 2010. The PYP framework enables their learners to flourish as engaged active learners who genuinely enjoy learning and are happy and motivated to come to school. To ensure that their children flourish, strong academic growth is developed in conjunction with a focus on students growing and flourishing socially, emotionally and physically. As a member of the Positive Education Schools Association (PESA) they focus on student well-being and ensuring that they enable students to have a playful and positive mindset towards learning. ICHK HLY students develop the confidence to confront challenges with enthusiasm. 

One of the things they are proudest of at ICHK HLY is that the word most often used to describe their school is happy. This joy in learning is something that they work hard to cultivate in their students. True happiness comes from students having a whole host of positive emotions fostered. Taken together these positive emotions allow students to positively engage with tasks and keep going when things get hard. ICHK HLY is accredited by the Council of International Schools(CIS) who noted that “The school is characterized by critical engagement with the world, academic excellence, an inclusive learning environment as well as personal and social well-being.” They welcome applications throughout the year from families looking to flourish in their happy and healthy community.
