À propos
Les visiteurs reconnaissent souvent que DBIS est très différente des autres écoles internationales de Hong Kong. Au cœur de la merveilleuse communauté de Discovery Bay, sur la belle île de Lantau, l'école tire une grande force de son cadre tranquille et de sa communauté dynamique. Établir et entretenir des relations personnelles solides, bienveillantes, respectueuses et solidaires est au cœur de l'ethos de DBIS. L'approche de l'école permet aux enseignants de travailler en tandem avec des parents engagés et ambitieux en se concentrant sur l'individu, et permet aux élèves de se consacrer pleinement à l'apprentissage, à la croissance et au développement personnels. Les élèves bénéficient d'un programme international large à caractère britannique et d'un parcours d'apprentissage distinctif qui débute à l'Early Years Foundation Stage (3-5 ans), se poursuit à l'école primaire (5-11 ans) et s'achève au secondaire (11-16 ans). L'expérience des élèves à DBIS se distingue par un environnement d'apprentissage hautement personnalisé, de petits effectifs, des approches pédagogiques créatives et un large éventail d'activités parascolaires.
