Acerca de
Los visitantes suelen reconocer que DBIS es muy diferente a otras escuelas internacionales en Hong Kong. Ubicada en la maravillosa comunidad de Discovery Bay, en la hermosa isla de Lantau, la escuela extrae gran fortaleza de su tranquila ubicación y su comunidad activa. Establecer y mantener relaciones personales sólidas, cálidas, respetuosas y de apoyo es clave para el ethos de DBIS. El enfoque de la escuela permite a los docentes trabajar en sintonía con padres comprometidos y ambiciosos, centrando la atención en el individuo, y permite a los alumnos concentrarse en el desafiante proceso de aprender, crecer y desarrollarse como individuos. Los estudiantes disfrutan de un amplio currículo internacional con características británicas y un recorrido de aprendizaje distintivo que comienza en la Early Years Foundation Stage (de 3 a 5 años), avanza en la escuela primaria (de 5 a 11 años) y culmina en la secundaria (de 11 a 16 años). La experiencia del alumno en DBIS se caracteriza por un entorno de aprendizaje altamente personalizado, clases pequeñas, enfoques creativos de enseñanza y una amplia gama de actividades extracurriculares.
