[Sponsored Article]
In its fifth year of operation, Stamford American School Hong Kong has seen a lot of growth in student population and campus size. As the world and Hong Kong continue to evolve and become increasingly connected due to the Covid-19 pandemic, what does international education mean now? Karrie Dietz, Head of School at Stamford American School Hong Kong with 30 years of experience in education, shares her views on international education and how it is delivered at Stamford.
What does an international education look like at Stamford?
Stamford offers an international curriculum that caters to a diverse student body, differing English abilities, and diverse faculty teaching with an international perspective. As an IB world school, we nurture global citizens by looking at historical and current issues from various perspectives. Students learn how to collaborate with students and teachers from different backgrounds during project-based learning just as they would in the workforce. Preparing students with empathy and understanding others is the core of international education. Our Council of International Schools and IBO World School accreditations also ensure we continuously develop curriculum and content to foster global citizens and guarantee global recognition for universities' pathways.
