We wanted Maea to do an IB program because we saw how IB helped my older daughter ease into university education; IB teaching is very similar to the method of teaching in university, and the transition was a breeze for my older girl.
We decided on HCIS because it is one of very few schools offering IB training from Year 1(Sec 1) with the rigour and discipline of a mainstream school. This turned out to be an excellent decision, as Maea was taught to think and reflect with empathy, respect and responsibility. She learnt to be openminded and receptive of world affairs through her 6 years in HCIS in a manner similar to a university education and the befitting of the current society.
Throughout the 6 years in HCIS, Maea was given numerous opportunities to grow her leadership and management skills through participation in various programs conducted by the school and external organisations. This was significantly more holistic than what my son experienced in his A-level course.
We are also grateful that Maea met many teachers who were wonderful educators, and who cared for the students beyond the classrooms.
Sending our daughter to HCIS is one of the best decisions we have made for her.
