At the Middle and High School, we are offering a holistic program guided by three pillars of learning: Academic Rigor, 21-Century Skills, and Living Environment. The three pillars are supported by courses based on American curriculum standards, with AP as the capstone. We are currently offering AP Math, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, and AP Biology and will add more AP courses in the future.
In addition, our program has a focus on inquiry-based instruction, which aims to connect student learning to real-world, global, and multicultural issues related to the different disciplines. Through inquiry, we encourage students to develop learning and thinking skills that are critical to study and life after middle and high school.
在HQIS初中和高中，我们提供基于三大支柱体系的全面教育，这三大支柱分别为：严格的学术要求、面向21世纪的技能、自然与生活环境。支撑三大支柱的是基于美国课程标准的课程体系，并在高中较后阶段融入AP课程。我们目前提供AP数学，AP化学，AP物理和AP生物，并将在未来增加更多的AP课程。
此外，中学部注重探究性教学，旨在将学生的学习与现实世界、全球议题和多元文化问题结合起来。通过探究，我们鼓励学生发展学习和思考的能力，培养学生毕业后面对学习和生活所需要的重要技能。

Kindergarten to G5 幼儿园大班至五年级
(6-12岁)
Through its inquiry-led, transdisciplinary framework, the PYP challenges students to think for themselves, to take responsibility for their learning, and to explore local and global issues in real-life contexts.
There are 6 themes students cover over the year where subjects are integrated and taught in context to the theme. The HQIS curriculum consists of PYP stage based curriculum and American AERO standards allowing HQIS to focus on both academic and social development. PYP teaches students HOW to learn – not just WHAT to learn.
此阶段将通过探究单元体现跨学科教学框架，PYP课程培养学生对自身进行思考，对自己的学习承担责任以及在真实环境下探索身边以及全球性议题。
每个学年学生将学习6个主题单元，各个学科都将融入到主题内容中进行教学。着重培养学生如何学习，而不只是学习什么。

Pre-School to Pre Kindergarten 幼儿园小班到中班
(3-6 years of age) 3岁-6岁
These are developmental years of a child’s learning where learning experiences integrate socio-emotional, physical and cognitive development. Children are active in the learning process which lays a solid foundation for future learning. Teachers design stimulating and appropriate experiences to develop the young child’s brain. They create dynamic environments that promote play, discovery and exploration. Teacher supports children to explore their environment and learn about their world through play and relationships with peers, teachers, family and community members. Pre-School and Pre-Kinder cover four units of inquiry throughout the year, and Kindergarten covers 6 units.
这是一个孩子学习的发展期，孩子将社会情感、身体和认知发展结合在一起。孩子们在学习过程中积极参与、思考问题，为将来的学习打下了坚实的基础。教师们结合以往教学经验，通过设计课程来开发幼儿智力发育，通过生动的学习环境、趣味游戏、探索发现培养孩子们对学习的好奇心。教师支持孩子们通过游戏、与同学的互动、老师的教导、家庭和社区成员的关系来探索他们的环境，了解他们的世界。幼儿小班至中班的学生在一学年将学习到四个单元。
