Hout Bay International School

Hout Bay International School (HBIS), located in Hout Bay, Cape Town, is an independent international day school offering the International Baccalaureate Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes alongside recognised South African and British curricular pathways. The school accepts children from age 2 to 18 and structures provision through Nursery/Early Years, PYP, MYP and DP stages. English is the language of instruction; additional languages taught include French, Spanish and Afrikaans (language-acquisition options from early primary and into MYP/DP). HBIS occupies a purpose-built six-hectare campus with a dedicated Early Years and Junior Primary building, a robotics lab and Apple technology provision, two science laboratories, art studios, a music room, a drama black-box, a library, a dining canteen and multiple sports facilities (netball and tennis courts, cricket nets and multi-purpose playing fields). The school publishes its status as an authorised IB Continuum World School (PYP–MYP–DP) and is part of the SEK-IES international school network; its MYP personal project and the IB Diploma core form distinctive elements of the senior programme.
