American School Hong Kong (ASHK) is a kindergarten (KG2) to Grade 12, non-profit, college preparatory program located in the Tai Po community. With a rigorous American and international program, the inquiry and concept-based approach to teaching and learning at ASHK promotes the development of 21st century skills for students. The US Common Core, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and American Education Reaches Out (AERO) Social Studies Standards provide the framework for learning with English serving as the language of instruction and communication.
At ASHK, students experience a culture of creativity and innovation through the STEAM program. Students are guided through the Engineering Design Process (Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, and Improve) to encourage innovation and creativity. Students learn how to ask critical questions, research the problem, develop possible solutions, build prototypes, test and evaluate their designs, and then redesign as need. The STEAM program equips students with the necessary skills to succeed in a global economy, such as critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration skills.
While intellectual development is of paramount importance, significant emphasis is placed on the social, physical, emotional, and creative domains to provide a holistic supportive experience for the development of the whole child. ASHK provides service opportunities and field trips for students to broaden their horizons, allowing them to become internationally-minded global citizens.
