    Ron Roukema

    HKIS empowers students to be inquisitive about themselves and the world around them. We encourage them on a path to become empathetic thinkers by asking important questions. They explore their passions and identity, develop essential critical thinking skills, and cultivate a strong sense of character and integrity. Students become compassionate global citizens who make a meaningful impact.
    You will discover a community of passionate parents, students, teachers, and alumni, exceptional facilities, impressive learning opportunities, vibrant student life, and inspiring stories that bring the HKIS mission to life. You will encounter something we talk about often: The power of place— our unique location, the culture and legacy of Hong Kong, and our mission combined. You will see how the ribbon, our place, and our mission tie the HKIS journey together.

    At HKIS, you learn with compassion, you solve with inquiry, and you serve with courage to shape a remarkable future. With HKIS, we grow.

    On behalf of this community, we look forward to your family joining us on a lifelong learning journey.
