As a continuance of the Han Academy Primary Curriculum, TheHan Academy Lower Secondary Curriculum is a combination of School-based curricula and Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum. The Han Academy LowerSecondary Curriculum is suitable for pupils aged 11 to 14 years.

The school offers two different English learning pathways,Cambridge English Checkpoint and Cambridge English Global for Year 7-9 students based on their competency when they enter the secondary school, to ensure that each student can study in a challenging and appropriate environment. Students’ academic levels are evaluated every semester to see whether they should be transferred to the other pathway.  

The Cambridge Lower Secondary Science syllabus is constructed in a spiral pattern and can help students develop skills and understanding in science for their first three years of secondary education. We incorporated the school-based STEM curriculum into our Scientific education as well.

For mathematics, we construct our school-based curriculum by combining the high calibre and depth in mathematics education inMainland China and the broadness and mathematical thinking training from bothCambridge International and Pearson International syllabi.

 The Y7-9 School-based curricula for Chinese, Chinese History,Physical Education, Music, Art & Design, Drama, and Debate are speciallydesigned to fulfil effective and efficient teaching and learning and maintainthe outcome to a high standard.

Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds. It is recognised by leading universities and employers worldwide, and is an international passport to progression and success. Han Academy is proud to offer this exceptional course to our students.

The Cambridge IGCSE curriculum offers a variety of routes for learners with a wide range of abilities, including those whose first languages not English. Starting from a foundation of core subjects, Cambridge allows us to add breadth and cross-curricular perspectives through other subjects.Encouraging learners to engage with a variety of subjects, and make connections between them, is fundamental to our approach. For learners, Cambridge IGCSE helps improve performance by developing skills in creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving. It is the perfect springboard to advanced study.

Han Academy offers a wide variety of Cambridge IGCSE subjectsand can offer them in any combination. Cambridge IGCSE develops learnerknowledge, understanding and skills in:

Cambridge IGCSE is widely recognised by highereducation institutions and employers around the world as evidence of academicachievement. Many universities require a combination of Cambridge InternationalA Levels and Cambridge IGCSEs to meet their entry requirements.

Cambridge International AS & A Level courses are typically for school-aged learners from 16 to 19 years who need advanced study to prepare for university and higher education in Hong Kong and beyond.Cambridge A levels build on the foundations of Cambridge IGCSE, although learners do not need to complete that stage before this one.

Cambridge International A Level is typically a two-year course, and Cambridge International AS Level schooling is typically one year in Hong Kong. Some subjects can be started as a Cambridge International ASLevel and extended to a Cambridge International A Level.

Cambridge International AS & A Level develops learners’ knowledge, understanding and skills in:

Han Academy offers a wide range of the Cambridge A & AS level subjects and can offer them in almost any combination available through schools in Hong Kong (HK). This flexibility allows us to build an individualised curriculum, and learners can choose to specialise in a particular subject area or study a range of subjects.

Han Academy is a school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (IBDP) .  

IB World Schools throughout Hong Kong share a common philosophy - a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse, inclusive community of students. This is achieved by delivering challenging, high quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision.

The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) is for students aged 16-19. The program aims to help students in Hong Kong develop an excellent breadth and depth of knowledge – these are students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically.

The DP curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core. This comprises theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS) and the extended essay. Through the DP core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) aims to develop inquisitive, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end, the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

This prestigious program in HK fosters independent learners with a strong initiative. Our IB teachers pride themselves on nurturing cultural awareness, teaching genuine engagement with the ever-changing world we live in. IB programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with all their unique differences, have an experience just as valid as their own.

The International Baccalaureate® (IB) school program assesses student work as direct evidence of achievement against the stated goals of the Diploma Programme (DP) courses in HK. To arrange admission into our IB programmes in Hong Kong, simply follow this link.

At Han Academy, we create space for student growth and development to ensure that they will become all-rounded talents after thirteen years of campus life. To this end, the school arranges Service Week for students to learn by reading, traveling, and experiencing the real world.

There are three stages in Han Academy’s Service Week: Y1-4, Y5-8, and Y9-12.

Y1-4 students experience nature and local communities in Hong Kong. They participate in a wide variety of cross-disciplinary activities to raise their awareness of protecting nature and serving their communities. 

Y5-8 students return to Mainland China to understand their motherland and serve the society. Students sightsee in famous tourist destinations and historic sites, participate in farming activities, teach in underdeveloped areas, and visit disabled people. All these activities give students the opportunities to help their compatriots in need and contribute more to society by doing and experiencing. 

Y9-12 students go overseas to see the world and contribute to society; students get to know local customs and practices and utilize their individual talents to help those local people in need.

Meanwhile, students develop their leadership and team skills. Apart from Service Week, Han Academy students have other community service opportunities such as volunteer teaching, visiting senior citizens, and cleaning the beach. We hope that students make community services part of their lives on top of solid academic foundations and individual development.
