Curriculum Of Excellence

Home / Curriculum Of Excellence

Wycombe Abbey’s reputation for academic rigour is well-established, and our results are consistently outstanding. Our ethos is rooted in a simple yet profound principle: a holistic approach to education, which incorporates a diverse co-curricular program, will foster the skills pupils require to succeed in life.

At Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong, we are ambitious for our pupils. Our commitment to their development is reflected in the twelve developmental objectives we have set, aimed at equipping our pupils with the essential skills needed to mature in emotional intelligence, teamwork, and leadership. These objectives are integrated seamlessly into our daily curriculum and co-curricular activities, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.

Our children learn to be expert, lifelong learners through a curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking, curiosity, and adaptability. We utilize innovative teaching methods and technology to create engaging and dynamic learning environments. This approach not only helps students excel academically but also instills a passion for knowledge and continuous improvement.

Moreover, we focus on cultivating creative, collaborative problem solvers. Our interdisciplinary projects and problem-based learning activities encourage students to think outside the box and work together to find solutions. This fosters creativity, innovation, and the ability to tackle complex challenges—skills that are invaluable in their future lives and careers.

By embodying these principles, Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong ensures that every pupil is prepared to flourish in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Our holistic approach to education equips students with the emotional, social, and intellectual tools they need to succeed, both within and beyond the classroom.

Our Commitment to Holistic Development​

​Our ethos is rooted in a simple yet powerful principle – that a truly transformative education must address the development of the whole child.​ Our diverse curriculum, nurtures students’ intellectual, emotional, physical, and social growth. This holistic approach not only fosters happy, confident learners, but also equips them with the skills to succeed in life beyond our walls.​

Ski Trip in Switzerland 2024

At Wycombe Abbey HK, we believe in the power of holistic education. It goes beyond academic excellence and encompasses the development of the whole individual, nurturing their intellectual, emotional, social, and physical well-being.

In 2024, our senior students have landed in the picturesque slopes of Verbier, Switzerland where they carved their way through the powdery snow, create memories and, most importantly, learn and grow beyond the classroom.

By providing extraordinary experiences like this, we aim to foster a well-rounded approach that prepares our students for success in all aspects of life.

Independence and Ownership beyond the classroom

Our curriculum also includes residential overnight camps where pupils are challenged beyond their comfort zone, fostering personal growth and resilience in a supportive environment. These immersive experiences encourage students to step out of familiar surroundings, face new challenges, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and independence.

Engaging in hands-on activities, students learn to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios, fostering a deeper understanding of concepts and encouraging creativity and critical thinking. Whether through outdoor expeditions, community service initiatives, or artistic endeavours, students are encouraged to explore their passions, broaden their perspectives, and develop a well-rounded skill set.

Young children are natural enthusiasts in new activities

Wycombe Abbey School is focused on preparing children to be confident, happy, responsible, highly skilled and globally mobile. More than ever before, the children of today need to learn to be expert lifelong learners and creative, collaborative problem solvers in order to flourish in their future lives and careers.

We are committed to providing a very broad and varied programme of experiences and extra-curricular activities for every child. Our school day runs from 8.00am to 3.00pm with 9 lessons in the day.
