Curriclums & Programmes & CCAs

The IB curriculum is one of the most established educational programs globally, standardized and managed by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) based in Geneva, Switzerland. All IB courses are tailored according to the IB learner profile, representing the ten attributes valued by IB World Schools.

The IB curriculum is divided into four programs:

Primary Years Program (PYP): Designed specifically for students aged 3-12 years, based on six interdisciplinary themes like 'Who We Are', 'How the World Works', and 'Where We Are in Place and Time'. PYP is highly adaptable to local contexts and encourages inquiry-based learning within individual subject areas.

Middle Years Program (MYP): Offered to students aged 11-16, featuring eight subject groups, each with a minimum of 50 hours. The focus of MYP is to encourage students to learn through practical experiences and connect their learning to the real world.

Diploma Program (DP): Suitable for students aged 16-19, DP consists of six subject groups and five core elements: Theory of Knowledge, Creativity, Activity, Service, and the Extended Essay. The program also includes an independent research project and a community service project. DP results are used for university admissions.

In addition to these core curriculums, we offer a wide range of extracurricular activities (CCAs), including sports, music, arts, and various interest clubs. Notably, we provide a series of activities related to Chinese culture, such as Guzheng, Tea Ceremony, and Calligraphy, aimed at deepening students' understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture. These activities not only enrich the students' learning experience but also facilitate their holistic personal development beyond academic achievements.

Student reviews

What students say?

I am now studying at MONASH University in Melbourne, Australia majoring in both Psychology and Philosophy. What I liked most about the IB is the fact that we had access to diverse subject areas including languages, sciences, humanities as well as arts. Studying these subjects allowed me to have more opportunities for subject choices at university. I wish all students would enjoy their IB life and be prepared for uni!

Lam Ching-YI IB DP Graduate 2015
I have been in HWA since primary school. HWA is an international school with students from all over the world from that have different cultures and languages. As an IB school a lot of our projects allowed us to work together so we become more mindful and open minded about other cultures. Having small student classes allowed the teachers to pay us attention to nurture our strengths. My DP teachers guided me to find my calling to pursue a career in Nursing.
