HIGH SCHOOL
WELCOME TO STAMFORD AMERICAN SCHOOL - HIGH SCHOOL
Stamford American School Hong Kong's High School division empowers students to forge personalized pathways.
All graduates earn an American High School Diploma accredited by the Council for International Schools and the Western Association of Schools -accredited Stamford and can pursue the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma or selected IB courses to expand their academic opportunities.
ANNOUNCING NEW WEST KOWLOON CAMPUS
We’re proud to announce the new West Kowloon Campus of Stamford American School Hong Kong, a harborfront, three-story, purpose-built learning space designed to fully support our innovative High School program and the delivery of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).
Embodying the essence of a bespoke Stamford education: academic rigor, innovation, and personalized pathways, the West Kowloon Campus features dedicated spaces for music, drama, visual arts, sports, science, and design technology alongside standard classrooms. It also boasts an open auditorium, a black box theatre, a flexible exhibition space, and a tranquil library, all under one roof.
Focusing on preparing students for university education, this new campus elevates the learning experience of our Ho Man Tin campus by offering autonomy and independence in an engaging learning environment. The design features a variety of collaborative “learning neighborhoods” in different parts of the campus, including a vast array of open-plan communal spaces facing the harborfront, a sophisticated café setting, and spacious corridors that encourage social interaction without disrupting the flow of movement.
The campus also offers unparalleled flexibility in space setup and ample opportunities for age-appropriate, out-of-classroom learning, enabling students and staff to own their educational journeys.
Welcome to a new era of learning!
ACADEMIC RESULTS
Stamford’s Class of 2024 embraced the exciting new chapter of university matriculation. 58% of our 2024 graduating cohort completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, of which 40% were awarded the IB Bilingual Diploma.
INNOVATIVE, PERSONALIZED CURRICULUM FOR EVERY ASPIRATION

Stamford offers a unique STEMinn program (integrated STEM curriculum) that teaches the skills identified by the World Economic Forum as necessary for the jobs of tomorrow: analytical thinking, leadership, creative problem solving and emotional intelligence. Examples of STEMinn learning at high school.
CORNERSTONES
We also offer an innovative program called Cornerstones. This is a hands-on learning approach, with 72 hours of industry experience and two portfolio projects, supported by small class sizes and personalized guidance from expert faculty.
All students also complete the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) program, engaging in experiential learning to ensure holistic growth and balance creativity, physical activity, and service to others.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
We blend American and international curricula to create a versatile, future-ready education. American standards ensure subject-specific rigor and progression, while our IB Programme fosters deep thinking, knowledge and real-world problem-solving—preparing students to master content while navigating complex global challenges.
We use the best global evidence in our teaching. We challenge students to create, critically think, collaborate, and communicate – all skills noted in the research as the most important for successful student development.
