About this school
The Harbour School (THS) is a through-train international school founded in 2007 that follows an American curriculum adapted for a diverse international student body. It started with three teachers and nine students, reached 103 students by 2012, gained WASC accreditation in 2013 and now operates two campuses on Ap Lei Chau. The school describes itself as progressive, rejecting the idea of an "average" learner and personalising learning for typical, advanced and gifted students as well as those needing support.
The Garden, completed in 2015, was THS's first Ap Lei Chau campus and is now home to the High School (Grades 9-12). Its modular spaces and breakout rooms support project-based, independent and interdisciplinary learning.
High school learning is shaped, rather than dictated, by American curricula, with multi-age, cross-curricular classes and student choice. Students are supported by an academic advisory model, a full-time social-emotional counsellor and college and learning support staff. They also use facilities at The Grove, such as the Marine Science Center and The Foundry, and the school's 50-foot sailboat, The Black Dolphin.
