OVERVIEW

Built on our values and carried around our mission, our curriculum is purposefully crafted to develop our graduate profile traits in all students. These are the scholarly, creative, articulate, impactful and well-rounded young people who will be equipped for the exciting and challenging years ahead, the traits who will have the knowledge, skills and character to make a positive impact in the world. This is why Huitong is the School of the Future.

 

The model of education that we have developed has already been proven through several cohorts of stellar college and university outcomes. Our curriculum approach is not just inspiring and philosophically sound, it delivers results and optimises our students’ life opportunities.

 

The Huitong curriculum is best explained according to three categories of programme - Academic, Signature, and Studios.

STUDIOS PROGRAMME

ACADEMIC PROGRAMME

“A liberal-arts education offers an expansive intellectual grounding in all kinds of humanistic inquiry. By exploring issues, ideas and methods across the humanities and the arts, and the natural and social sciences, you will learn to read critically, write cogently and think broadly. These skills will elevate your conversations in the classroom and strengthen your social and cultural analysis; they will cultivate the tools necessary to allow you to navigate the world's most complex issues.”

—Princeton University

 

Huitong's academic curriculum is part of the rich tradition of liberal-arts education upheld by world-leading institutions such as Princeton University (whose definition of the liberal arts, and explanation of its benefits, really resonates with us). We see this approach as being even more important, pertinent and powerful than ever before. Far from being supplanted by technological advances - AI included - the liberal arts approach gives students a grounding in vital knowledge, while allowing their skills to flourish as they deepen their learning in specific subject domains and interdisciplinary projects.

The meaningful, weighty content of our academic curriculum is taught and learnt in motivating, inspiring and dynamic ways by our faculty members. Innovative pedagogy is seen in every classroom, and at all ages. Lessons are carefully designed to incorporate physical movement, compelling imagery, student discussion and debate, intriguing and memorable stimuli, handwritten work, and multiple and varied tasks. Teacher-focused lectures with silent, passive audiences occur rarely in Huitong lessons. We want pupils to be engaged, vocal and active - and to remember what they have learnt.

 

It is this sort of learning environment that inspires boys and girls, so that they wake in the morning and are eager to get to school, to be with their teachers and classmates, and to work hard, knowing that the results of their efforts will be fulfilling and fruitful.

 

“There is the old, which is tried and tested, and the new, which promises change. Some schools, eager to appear modern, throw out traditional approaches in favour of the latest trends. They embrace novelty for its own sake, forgetting that the fundamental practices of education - like deep reading, acquiring knowledge, and understanding history - cannot be replaced.”

SIGNATURE PROGRAMME

Most of what we do at Huitong is distinctive, but certain meticulously-designed activities are so out-of-the-ordinary that they deserve their own section of the curriculum. These make up our Signature Programme, which includes unique and ambitious enterprises like City-as-Classroom, Interdisciplinary Projects, Huitong Global History, and Huitong Survival Discovery. These are meaningful and well-resourced ventures that ensure memorable, educational experiences for all participants.

STUDIOS PROGRAMME

Have you ever pursued a regular activity with passion? Something that brings joy and excitement, and motivates your whole day-to-day experience? Huitong Studios exists to provide our pupils with such opportunities! We offer more than 200 after-school courses (plus weekends and during holiday breaks). Everything you can imagine - coding, design, individual and team sports, music ensembles, debate, drama, strategic thinking, entrepreneurship - there is something for everyone. We are here to support pupils in finding at least one pursuit they genuinely connect with, something that gets them up in the morning, full of anticipation for the day ahead.

Just imagine: each student gets to “order” from the Studios menu, hand-picking the perfect blend of activities that fits their unique interests and goals. It is often in the Studios domain where character develops - how to be a team-player, build resilience, and show leadership - and it is where passions are ignited and talents flourish.

Rather than getting in the way of academic study, we find that strong Studios engagement is complementary. We can't help noticing that our highest-achieving academics are typically our most active Studios participants.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMME

Our senior academic programme is the culmination of our liberal-arts approach, and prepares students for the kinds of curriculums they will find at top English-speaking universities and colleges. And it helps all pupils to build a balanced portfolio, with those destinations in mind. A future maths major can study philosophy alongside their algebra and calculus; a humanities specialist can maintain scientific or artistic interests. In any event, each girl or boy will accumulate evidence of expansive learning that makes them stand out from the crowd of typical college applicants from typical schools. This programme consists of courses in three categories - General, Advanced and Prime - which give them a broad foundation, academic challenge and sufficient public examination grades, and the opportunity for scholarly, college-level study.



G9-12 Academic Programme

General

Ensuring students have a solid and broad foundation of knowledge and are equipped for more advanced study in their selected disciplines.

Advanced

Providing rigorous academic challenge, and opportunities to acquire helpful data and grades for college entrance, e.g. by taking AP exams.

Prime

Allowing older students to delve more deeply into scholarly work. This series gives a taste of university-level liberal-arts, and is designed and led by Huitong's teachers.
