The Dragon Center for Activities & Athletics (DCAA) at HKIS, the new home of the Dragons, stands as a transformative investment in student growth, athletic excellence, and community well-being. It is the core of our activities and athletics program, providing a dynamic space where the community can pursue their passions, maintain healthy lifestyles, and build meaningful connections.
The DCAA slogan, “Find Your Center”, sums it up. It is an open invitation, or declaration, to our community to enjoy the DCAA as a place to find balance through physical activity. As all the hardware comes online, we will gain a sophisticated “playground” of sorts–a space designed for countless opportunities to activate our bodies and our minds. And it offers the space to activate others.
The multi-purpose space of the DCAA gives us the chance to strengthen bonds with our local community partners by hosting and collaborating on new events.
HKIS has partnered with groups like the Hong Kong China Wrestling Association and NBA Hong Kong. In the High School, Seeds of Service student leaders will be co-hosting a day-long soccer tournament to support an NGO-partner, Branches of Hope.
The much-needed added space from the DCAA offers an exciting chance to grow our community partnerships.
Constructing the DCAA was the biggest HKIS campus development project to complete in decades. It symbolizes our growth from a small community of families with humble ambition to offer the best American-style education in Hong Kong. Now, HKIS is a leading international school in Asia and an activities and athletics powerhouse.
Athletics are core to HKIS, we believe in the power of sport. The DCAA is HKIS’ investment in the future athletes of Hong Kong. It marks the school’s commitment as part of the city’s growing athletics training landscape. Investing in our programs through this center shows the Dragons are here for the long run.
This multi-story building offers state-of-the-art sporting facilities. It features HD video and AV-integrated systems, elevated spectator seating, Olympic-grade pools, data-enabled fitness studios, four turf tennis courts, a three-story indoor climbing wall, a 534 m² purpose-built fitness center with spinning, rowing, dance, and martial arts studios, a comprehensive golf center, an athletic training and sports therapy facility, 192 parking spaces, a café open to the public during off-peak school hours and a whole lot more.
The opening of the DCAA at HKIS will bring transformative benefits beyond simply providing access to additional facilities.
As part of HKIS’s commitment to fostering holistic student development, the DCAA is designed not only to improve physical health but also to support cognitive growth and academic success. Just 20 minutes of exercise can enhance memory, focus, and overall cognitive function, helping students excel in the classroom. Moreover, routine physical activity improves sleep quality by up to 65%, allowing children to rest more deeply and recover better. By offering a dedicated, safe, and inspiring space for kids to engage in a variety of sports and activities, the DCAA empowers our students to build healthier habits, feel happier, and thrive both inside and outside of school.
