What makes Stamford special is the care, knowledge and professionalism of the staff and faculty. Nick has been thriving academically, transitioning from Elementary to Secondary with the help and guidance of his teachers and counsellors. When asked about his favourite subject, Nick said that he likes them all. During the pandemic, the school pivoted to an excellent online learning program. Communication and support from the school to parents remains consistently strong.

Stamford’s STEMinn and Arts program are key strengths of the school. This year’s Mission Inspire Project gave Nick the opportunity to collaborate and innovate with fellow students to create and code a space attack video game. Coding is a new skill Nick is now passionate about. Frequent group projects have taught Nick to work well with others. Learning Mandarin five days a week is a plus.

Stamford American International School is a well-rounded school establishing itself amongst the top International Schools of Hong Kong, providing a safe and personable environment for our son to excel. We are excited to be part of Stamford’s journey and can’t wait to see what’s in store next.
