This program offers both educational and recreational courses, suitable for HKIS and non-HKIS students from 4 to 18 years of age. All courses are designed to let participants enjoy themselves in a fun learning environment of trust and respect.
Using grade level and age group divisions, children are registered and grouped in such a way as to provide appropriate individual and group instruction in respective courses. Even in the academic courses, the atmosphere of the Summer Discovery Program is specifically less pressured than during a regular academic term. No tests are given and no graded homework is assigned.
