Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong takes great pride in offering a comprehensive education that equips our students for success at top secondary schools worldwide. Today, we are thrilled to share the remarkable story of Isabella, a student who joined us from China Mainland, and who has embarked on an inspiring journey of growth over the past year. Isabella’s story highlights her transformation from having limited English knowledge to achieving English excellence through our Intensive English programme.
In today’s interconnected society, English fluency has become an essential skill. At Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong, we understand the significance of preparing our students for future endeavors by focusing on English proficiency. Our curriculum places a strong emphasis on English as the primary medium of instruction, ensuring that our students develop the necessary language skills to communicate effectively in a western cultural context. Simultaneously, our exceptional Chinese curriculum provides them with a solid foundation in Chinese language and culture.
Isabella began her journey at our school in November 2022 as a China Mainland student, facing the daunting challenge of adapting to a new school environment with limited knowledge of the English language. Undeterred by this obstacle, Isabella displayed immense determination, and together with the support from our Intensive English programme, she has made remarkable progress in a relatively short period.
Reflecting on her transformative journey, Isabella emphasised the importance of treating English learning with consistent dedication. “Students who want to get better at English should take their homework and classwork seriously, practice writing, read more, and ask questions bravely.” Isabella also highlighted the enjoyable aspects of her Intensive English classes, where engaging discussions, games, and shared laughter fostered a positive and fun learning environment for her. “In class, we played games, talked about things we like and shared jokes,” she said.
Isabella’s enhanced English proficiency extends beyond her academic life. She can confidently communicate in English with her piano teacher and embrace the language during shopping trips outside of school, further enhancing her overall confidence and versatility. Her story serves as an inspiration, demonstrating the potential for growth and success that lies within each student.
At Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong, we are committed to providing an environment that fosters growth, encourages resilience, and enables our students to realize their full potential, and we look forward to telling similar inspiring stories in the future.
