Vision and Mission
We will be defined as a school of excellence by each of the constituents of our international school community. We envision…
- a diverse student population from around the world
- a system in which every student has equal opportunities for success and for university admission, based on a variety of performance indicators
- a system meeting the needs of individual learners, rather than making the learner fit the system
- a system that allows teachers to teach the GLTs (General Learning Targets) in creative and motivating ways
- students who will be well-rounded, community contributors armed with the academic and personal skills to succeed in the adult world and who see the relevance and purpose in their learning
- faculty and staff who feel a high degree of purpose, job satisfaction, pride, and personal growth
- parents who feel informed, valued, and satisfied
- a strong connection to the Hangzhou community and the perception that HIS represents ‘excellence’
The HIS Mission is to provide international learners with opportunities to pursue academic and personal excellence within a caring community.
