HWA Provides An Authentic, Immersive Bilingual And Bicultural Environment For All
The unique Bilingualism and Biculturalism Model, designed by HWA International School, supports the development of bilingual and cross-cultural skills. Through annual excursions to China, the programme develops students’ cultural and historical appreciation as well as comprehensive knowledge about their host country. Chinese language lessons are conducted in accordance with China’s national curriculum during Kindergarten, Primary and Middle School.
English and Chinese Support Programme
HWA has two Language Support Programmes, English and Chinese, designed to help students with little to no English/Chinese language background to acquire the foundational language skills needed to successfully integrate into their courses. Our Language Support Programme teachers work closely with HWA’s English/Chinese classroom teachers to better support students at every stage.
