孟郊《游子吟》

慈 母 手 中 线，

游 子 身 上 衣。

临 行 密 密 缝，

意 恐 迟 迟 归。

谁 言 寸 草 心，

报 得 三 春 晖。

The unique Bilingualism and Biculturalism Model, designed by Hillside World Academy (HWA), supports the development of bilingual and cross-cultural skills. Enriched with annual excursions to across China, the programme develops students' cultural and historical appreciation as well as comprehensive knowledge about their host country. Chinese language lessons are conducted in accordance with China's national curriculum during Kindergarten, Primary and Middle School.

English and Chinese Support Programmes

HWA has two Language Support Programmes, English and Chinese, designed to help students with little to no English/Chinese language background to acquire the foundational language skills needed to successfully integrate into their courses. Our Language Support Programme teachers work closely with HWA's English/Chinese classroom teachers to better support students at every stage.

Every teacher who works with us is fully qualified and trained in the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme.

All classrooms are equipped with IT infrastructure designed to assist teachers and to enhance the learning experience for students across all ages.

Our key staff members, in addition to our school nurse, also have basic qualifications in first aid, lifesaving and CPR, ensuring that student safety and health comes first, even after school hours.

We provide an array of nutritious food in the form of hot meals, wraps and sandwiches, fruits and juices, ensuring that our growing children are getting the kind of nutrition that they need.

"Our children have really enjoyed their time at HWA, and so have we as parents. The things that drew us to the school were the high level of Chinese content in the curriculum and the small community atmosphere. The school is completely bicultural, representing the best of both worlds through celebrations and holidays. 

We have had so many opportunities to celebrate Chinese holidays at school, from our large Mid-Autumn Festival gathering to our Chinese New Year specials."

"As an IB Diploma graduate at Hillside World Academy, I am proud to have done the programme at the school. What I learned through the IB is unforgettable and meaningful. It has taught me about researching skills, how to think from different perspectives, and how to write a good academic paper. Hillside World Academy emphasizes the spirit of the IB, and I believe every student will grow with their teachers and peers until the very end. 

Currently, I am studying Civil Engineering at City University of Hong Kong, and the IB has prepared me well for this. My experiences at the school helped me to strive for excellence both personally and academically."

"I am not the typical China student: strong in math with top grades. My student life experience at HWA gave me the opportunity & experience to become a published author at China’s People Press. HWA & Huijia Beijing’s support and guidance helped me get into one of my dream Universities ."

Hillside World Academy was established in 2006 as the Chinese International School and continues to uphold the global vision that integrates Eastern and Western values, through the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy. We are a forward-looking, contemporary academy that believes in a holistic approach to teaching, and is 100 per cent committed to lifelong learning for all. Advocating research and inquiry in the classroom, our teachers not only steer the lessons, but also take a step back to encourage students to get involved, collaborate, challenge what they are told, and reach well beyond the textbook experience.
