It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
At Tai Tam, learning from Grades 6–12 is grounded in a comprehensive standards-based curriculum rooted in Understanding by Design (UbD). In Middle School (Grades 6-8), students engage in core academic subjects (English, mathematics, science, social studies, world languages), as well as arts, physical education, faith/spiritual development, and advisory/self-directed projects. In High School (Grades 9-12), students continue core work while choosing from a broad slate of electives in humanities, arts, STEM, technology, and design. HKIS offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses for students who wish to pursue college-level work. All students are assessed continuously, with grading, reporting, and feedback aligned with the school’s philosophy of supporting growth and clarity.
HKIS’s Tai Tam Campus serves Middle School (G6–8) and High School (G9–12) on Hong Kong Island’s south side at 1 Red Hill Road. The site includes 114 subject-specific classrooms, two libraries, student community spaces, an auditorium and black box theatre, two gyms, a pool and a sports field with access to Tai Tam Bay for water sports. High School students can select from 25 AP courses within a U.S. standards framework, while both divisions offer extensive co-curricular, 100+ clubs and 30+ service clubs. School transport is provided via Kwoon Chung buses. Language learning spans Mandarin and Spanish in Middle School, with Mandarin, Spanish and French options in High School. Recent and planned developments at Tai Tam include a Dragon Centre for Activities & Athletics (2025) and a 900-seat Performance Hall (2027).
