Founded in 2002, the school provides education from Early Childhood to Grade 12. HIS uses the IB PYP (IB Primary Years Program) until Grade 5, IB MYP (IB Middle Years Program) from Grade 6 to 10, and the IB DP (IB Diploma Program) for Grades 11 and 12. HIS was the first international school in Hangzhou.[1]
The HIS Mission is to 'provide international learners with opportunities to pursue academic and personal excellence within a caring community.' [2]
HIS is located on a modern campus in the south of Hangzhou, close to Xianghu metro station and the famous lake of the same name. The campus consists of two main buildings: The Cocoon, which houses the Early Childhood Education (ECE) classrooms, and The Lantern for Grades 1 to 12. Facilities include a 600 seat Performing Arts Theatre, Black Box Theatre, ‘The Wave’ 25 meter swimming pool, three indoor gyms, outdoor courts, and a FIFA-rated football/soccer pitch. The campus was designed by two architectural and design firms based in Hangzhou, Line+ Studio and Gad.[3]
