The Hiba Academy Bay Area Learner Profile reflects the qualities we want every child to grow into. It is not a checklist but a way of being, shaping how students approach their learning and how they live their lives as global citizens.
Our innovative curriculum will instill a lifelong love of learning in your child. It is rigorous and challenging, but we provide a nurturing environment where they can thrive both academically and personally. With this balanced approach we equip students with the qualities they need to make a positive impact wherever they go.
We don't just teach Chinese as a discrete academic subject. Rather, it is a language of instruction alongside English in all subjects, even PE. So, when we teach a subject like math, for example, our students don't just absorb the course material; they build a more sophisticated vocabulary while developing higher-order reasoning skills in both languages. The end result bilingual fluency.
We address the needs of the whole child — academic as well as social, emotional, and physical. Values play an important role too. Students learn to live the Hiba values in all that they do. We also teach global perspectives, emphasizing inclusivity, tolerance, and building bridges between cultures. So, whether in the classroom, on the court, in the art studio, or out serving the wider community, Hiba students acquire the tools they need to become successful global citizens.
