Talent development at HIF


Learning at HIF goes beyond the walls of the classroom. HIF education is about students discovering and developing their unique talents and individual potential – intellectual, emotional, social, artistic, athletic - which every child possesses. It is also about exploring how knowledge and skills learned in academic subjects can be applied and extended in the real world.

21TH CENTURY TEACHING AND LEARNING


HIF has chosen some of the world’s leading programmes of study recognised for admission by the top universities in the USA, the UK, Switzerland and worldwide. A knowledge-rich and skill-based curriculum promotes mastery of subject content in Languages, Mathematics, the Natural Sciences, the Humanities, the Arts, Sport as well as classes which focus on issues facing societies and individuals across the globe.

Excellent teaching inspires a sense of excitement and the drive to discover more. Students learn that success comes from perseverance, from sticking at a task and building on their progress in understanding and performance.

    Blended Learning

    Blended learning at HIF refers to an approach that combines e-learning with traditional in-person learning and independent study. A blended learning programme consists of in-person classroom sessions, peer-to-peer activities and an additional digital facilitation platform. One of the bigger benefits of blended learning is that it supports different learning styles and takes preferences into consideration, so that the students can make the most of their preferred learning channels. Due to its interactive and immersive nature, blended learning exposes students to a lot of different stimuli and encourages them to use diverse learning styles.
