Dear Upper Primary School Families,
I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2025-26 school year at HKIS Upper Primary. It is an honor to be part of such a vibrant and caring learning community, made up of talented faculty, staff, students, and families.
At HKIS, we believe that positive parent partnerships are essential to maximizing your child's academic, social, and emotional growth. We recognize that strong schools are built on strong communities, and we encourage you to become actively involved in your child's education. We invite you to attend school events, volunteer for class or school organizations, and maintain open communication with your child's teacher throughout the year. Together, we can create the most supportive learning environment that enables your child to reach their full potential.
The Upper Primary years are a time of discovery and growth for children, as they explore their interests, develop their talents, and find their place in the world. Here in the Upper Primary, we are fortunate to offer our students amazing opportunities and spaces in which to learn. We are dedicated to providing an engaging, safe, and welcoming environment for all students to learn and grow with confidence.
Our highly skilled and passionate faculty are committed to providing a challenging and enriching curriculum that inspires socially engaged global citizens and the HKIS core competencies of creativity, collaboration, and resilience. As we look ahead to the future, these skills will be crucial in nurturing your children towards success in a dynamic and ever-changing world.
Whether you are a returning family or new to HKIS, I extend to you a warm welcome. I look forward to working with you to create unforgettable learning experiences for your child this year.
Yours in learning,
