Dr Aaron Ayers, Deputy Superintendent
At Hangzhou International School (HIS), inclusion is more than an initiative—it’s the foundation of who we are as a learning community. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just words in our vision—they are values that shape every aspect of school life. From the moment families join HIS, they experience a school that welcomes every learner and celebrates each individual’s unique strengths.
