About this school
The Harbour School (THS) is a through-train international school founded in 2007 that follows an American curriculum adapted for a diverse international student body. Beginning with three teachers and nine students, it grew to 103 students by 2012, received WASC accreditation in 2013 and was awarded The Grove site by Hong Kong's Education Bureau in 2015. THS describes itself as progressive, with a personalised approach for typical, advanced and gifted learners and support for students with areas of weakness.
The Grove is the school's newest campus and houses the primary school up to Grade 6 across almost 6,000 m². Its features include:
- Flexible, modular classrooms with movable walls and writable tables
- Centers of Excellence such as The Foundry makerspace, the Marine Science Center and the Black Box Theater
- A library, art studio and gallery, digital arts centre and a multi-storey tree house
Learning is hands-on and experiential: pupils may research local mangroves, collaborate on multi-age projects or sail on the school's 50-foot boat, The Black Dolphin. Teachers design personalised learning that attends to both academic growth and social-emotional well-being.
