Our Cognita Family

Our Cognita Family of Stamford American School Hong Kong

By being part of the Cognita family, we open the door to a global community of over 100 schools that’s rich in knowledge, opportunities, and best practices, ensuring every child gets an education that’s, quite literally, world class.

We are proud to be part of this community and actively help to shape it. Each school within the Cognita family preserves its distinct character and remains deeply rooted in its local community. Crucially, these diverse experiences across the world foster inspiration, shared support, and growth opportunities for every school within our group.

Our students and teachers are more than just learners and educators; they are active global citizens. Together, they are exposed to a variety of perspectives from diverse cultures, sharing and gaining insights that transcend traditional classroom boundaries. This dynamic exchange fosters a learning space where young minds, guided by their teachers, are encouraged to express their unique ideas and talents, while instilling the value of respect and embracing the spirit of collaboration.

It’s an individual approach that empowers our school, every teacher, and each student to discover what they truly do best. And thrive.

Academic Excellence

Continuously improving the quality of education

Cognita’s evidence-based framework provides clear guidance on what makes an excellent school. Using this as a guide, Cognita’s Education Team works with school leaders to drive continuous improvement in educational practice across all our schools in a way that works best for each school community.

Having access to a global staffroom means that we make the most of our diverse community by sharing best practice, connecting and collaborating across the miles.

And our teachers benefit from formal professional development opportunities such as the Team Fellowship and Senior Leader Enquiry programmes, developed and run in partnership with the world-leading IOE, Faculty of Education and Society at UCL.
