　　Middle & High School 中學部

　　(12-18 years of age) 12-18歲

　　At the Middle and High School, we are offering a holistic program guided by three pillars of learning: Academic Rigor, 21-Century Skills, and Living Environment. The three pillars are supported by courses based on American curriculum standards, with AP as the capstone. We are currently offering AP Math, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, and AP Biology and will add more AP courses in the future.

　　In addition, our program has a focus on inquiry-based instruction, which aims to connect student learning to real-world, global, and multicultural issues related to the different disciplines. Through inquiry, we encourage students to develop learning and thinking skills that are critical to study and life after middle and high school.

　　在HQIS初中和高中，我們提供基于三大支柱體系的全面教育，這三大支柱分別為：嚴格的學術要求、面向21世紀的技能、自然與生活環境。支撐三大支柱的是基于美國課程標準的課程體系，并在高中較后階段融入AP課程。我們目前提供AP數學，AP化學，AP物理和AP生物，并將在未來增加更多的AP課程。

　　此外，中學部注重探究性教學，旨在將學生的學習與現實世界、全球議題和多元文化問題結合起來。通過探究，我們鼓勵學生發展學習和思考的能力，培養學生畢業后面對學習和生活所需要的重要技能。

　　Kindergarten to G5 幼兒園大班至五年級

　　(6-12歲)

　　Through its inquiry-led, transdisciplinary framework, the PYP challenges students to think for themselves, to take responsibility for their learning, and to explore local and global issues in real-life contexts.

　　There are 6 themes students cover over the year where subjects are integrated and taught in context to the theme. The HQIS curriculum consists of PYP stage based curriculum and American AERO standards allowing HQIS to focus on both academic and social development. PYP teaches students HOW to learn – not just WHAT to learn.

　　此階段將通過探究單元體現跨學科教學框架，PYP課程培養學生對自身進行思考，對自己的學習承擔責任以及在真實環境下探索身邊以及全球性議題。

　　每個學年學生將學習6個主題單元，各個學科都將融入到主題內容中進行教學。著重培養學生如何學習，而不只是學習什么。

　　Pre-School to Pre Kindergarten 幼兒園小班到中班

　　(3-6 years of age) 3歲-6歲

　　These are developmental years of a child’s learning where learning experiences integrate socio-emotional, physical and cognitive development. Children are active in the learning process which lays a solid foundation for future learning. Teachers design stimulating and appropriate experiences to develop the young child’s brain. They create dynamic environments that promote play, discovery and exploration. Teacher supports children to explore their environment and learn about their world through play and relationships with peers, teachers, family and community members. Pre-School and Pre-Kinder cover four units of inquiry throughout the year, and Kindergarten covers 6 units.

　　這是一個孩子學習的發展期，孩子將社會情感、身體和認知發展結合在一起。孩子們在學習過程中積極參與、思考問題，為將來的學習打下了堅實的基礎。教師們結合以往教學經驗，通過設計課程來開發幼兒智力發育，通過生動的學習環境、趣味游戲、探索發現培養孩子們對學習的好奇心。教師支持孩子們通過游戲、與同學的互動、老師的教導、家庭和社區成員的關系來探索他們的環境，了解他們的世界。幼兒小班至中班的學生在一學年將學習到四個單元。
