We are excited to share the highlights from our annual Grade 5 PYP Exhibition held last Friday at Hangzhou International School. This event was more than just a presentation; it represented a journey of inquiry, discovery, and deep learning that our Grade 5 students have engaged in over the past 9 weeks. |

Melissa van Niekerk, Grade 3 Teacher
Our Hangzhou International School Grade 3 students recently brought learning to life during their exciting Market Day, showcasing their creativity, collaboration, and entrepreneurial spirit! Guided by the central idea “Businesses arise and evolve to meet the demands of communities,” students designed and ran their own mini-businesses, offering handmade goods, fun games, and tasty treats. They even surveyed their peers about their prospective product ideas to see if there would be a demand for what they were selling.
