Early Years 3 to 5 years
For children to excel in the Early Years, they require space, time, challenging resources and quality interactions with adults. Our spacious environment offers natural, open-ended resources allowing our children to ‘free-flow’ between the indoors and outdoors for much of the day, allowing them to choose where they want to play, what with and how.
Primary 5 to 11 years
Our children are taught the skills, knowledge and understanding detailed in the English National Curriculum within the context of inspirational and dynamic topics.
Students learn to take on challenges, be innovative in their problem solving and be inquisitive about the world around them. They learn that their opinions matter, that their creativity is valued and that by looking after each other and our world around us, they can make a difference.
Secondary 11 to 18 years
The HHIS Secondary Phase provides an enthusiastic and energetic environment for all our individual learners to achieve their very best. Students are fully guided by highly qualified and experienced teachers and receive regular feedback on their progress. Our students’ achievements are celebrated enthusiastically and we are committed to achieving high standards whilst at the same time maintaining a broad and balanced curriculum.

What Our Students Say
Newsletters
HHIS Newsletter – November 14th 2023
This week we have a focus on our swimming programme. We are lucky at HHIS to have two swimming pools, so our students can have a swimming lesson once a week. We understand that in some rare instances, students are not able to take part in a lesson, such as recovering from a certain illness, such as an ear or eye infection, or have an injury that is healing. However, swimming is as much part of our curriculum as Maths, and in some ways could be even more important as our students are learning a life saving skill, so we do expect all students to take part unless in these occasional circumstances. Water confidence and safety is a vital skill for all our students to master, especially with us living close to the beach, regularly visiting hotels with pools and many of us having pools in our own backyards. Our swimming teaching team or Kru Pla, Coach Hin and Khum Nok are all qualified and maintain their teaching and safety certification.
HHIS Newsletter – November 7th 2023
It has been wonderful to welcome so many parents to the Key Stage 2 Art Exhibition “Take One Picture” that has been taking place in the Secondary Meeting room this week. The students have been working with Ms Sarah on projects inspired by Henri Rousseau’s painting ‘Surprised’ as part of The National Gallery’s Take One Picture project. Each class came up with individual ideas responding to the artwork to create an exciting variety of artworks, from puppets to life size sculptures, textile garments and picture books.
HHIS Newsletter – October 31st 2023
Our newsletter this week is focussing on the learning that happens outside the classroom, not just in our extensive ECA programme, but also learning that happens beyond the campus. These important experiences give our students the opportunity to connect and collaborate with students from other schools in Thailand, and around the world. One example is the International Projects in Spanish that our students are continuing for the fourth year running.
