MIDDLE SCHOOL
WELCOME TO STAMFORD AMERICAN SCHOOL - MIDDLE SCHOOL
Welcome to Middle School at Stamford American School Hong Kong, where Curiosity Meets Purpose. We are a vibrant community where students thrive during these transformative years. Building on their elementary foundation, learners are challenged and inspired by:
Rigorous Academics: A diverse curriculum including language arts, integrated sciences, integrated humanities, STEMinn, world languages (daily Spanish/Mandarin), arts, and physical education—taught by passionate international educators.
Life Skills for Tomorrow: Weekly social-emotional learning to navigate adolescence with resilience, plus embedded IB practices that nurture creativity, collaboration, and global citizenship.
Seamless Preparation: A wide range of co-curricular activities and enhanced academic rigor are designed to equip students with the confidence and skills to excel in high school and beyond.
We don’t just teach—we empower curious minds to lead with courage, empathy, and purpose.
"Love the fact that my child is feeling safe expressing himself and being himself. This is evident from the various activities he's enrolled into on his own volition. That translates into confidence. His emotional well being is always taken care of while he learns and grows."
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
Our curriculum builds on elementary foundations with enhanced academic rigor and subject-specialist teaching, preparing students for High School’s challenges. Students engage a broad range of disciplines—from STEMinn and integrated sciences to daily Mandarin/Spanish and the arts—guided by expert international faculty.
Weekly social-emotional learning sessions equip students to thrive during these transformative years, while our IB-aligned approach embeds the Learner Profile, Approaches to Learning, and global citizenship across all studies. The result: resilient, collaborative thinkers ready to excel academically and lead purposefully.
We use the Measurement of Academic Progress (MAP) and classroom assessments throughout the year to ensure students meet rigorous academic standards. In doing so, we stretch them if they need more challenge and support them with additional teaching and materials if they need extra assistance. We take a targeted, individualized approach to ensure every student succeeds.
PURPOSEFUL GROWTH
These transitional years empower students to:
Develop independence through subject-specialist instruction
Strengthen social-emotional skills via weekly guided sessions
Master research, reflection, and collaboration critical for IB Diploma success
DESIGNED FOR TRANSITION
We bridge childhood and adolescence by balancing academic depth with tailored support.
Students transition from homeroom models to expert-led classrooms, gaining autonomy and accountability while thriving in a community that values curiosity, integrity, and global citizenship.
