The summer school program at HWA International School is based on the International Baccalaureate curriculum and revolves around six interdisciplinary themes, including “Who We Are”, “Time and Space”, “Expressing Ourselves”, “How the World Works”, “How We Organize Ourselves” and “Sharing the Planet”.
