In our Early Years (Pre-Kindergarten to Pre-Primary), the uniqueness of each of our children is honored, celebrated and enriched. Our teaching and learning program is inspired by the principles of the Reggio Emilia philosophy, guided by The Early Years Learning Framework, connected to the joy of experiential and positive learning.

It focuses on developing our student’s capabilities and dispositions into being independent and masterful learners who are ready to meet present and future challenges.

Junior Secondary years are particularly important. Students face numerous choices and challenges as they continue to explore their place in the world through an education emphasising intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth.

At Senior Secondary, we offer an unparalleled suite of opportunities by integrating an extensive academic, leadership, and career/university counselling program. Most students in their early senior years do not really know what they want to do when they leave school.

In Secondary we will provide a practical career and university counselling program in which students are guided and advised on a subject choice, course selection, career exploration, and university preparation.

Every child in the school is assigned to a homeroom teacher - this is the classroom teacher in the Primary School and one of the child's specialist teachers in the Secondary School.

At HCIS we provide a House System for all students to be involved. We use the house system to develop positive social interaction between different age groups within the school and foster healthy competition.
