INTERNATIONAL BACCALEAUREATE PROGRAM

ARTS INFUSED PROGRAM

The International Baccalaureate Program (IB) is a recognized leader in the field of international education, encouraging students to be active learners, well-rounded individuals, and engaged citizens of the world. IB spans from first grade through high school to help develop the intellectual, personal, emotional, and social skills to live, learn, and work in a rapidly globalizing world.

As a Primary Years Programme (PYP) school, the Arts and Technology are infused within the IB framework. HHIE offers STEM Lab, Studio, Music, Art, PE, Chinese and Spanish through a Specials Rotation where our specialists make connections to the units of study. In addition, Project Lead the Way, Robotics, Coding, Chorus, Drama Performances, Makerspace and a Lego Creation Station are available to students. HHIE also offers Dual-Language as an option for rising first graders in Spanish and Chinese. Dual language programs foster bilingualism, biliteracy, enhanced awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity, and high levels of academic achievement through instruction in two languages. Dual-Language application information should be completed on this form.

Arts Infused or arts integration programs focus on providing extensive opportunities for all students to learn through creative instructional approaches and to express themselves creatively in the arts. These opportunities equip students with abstract reasoning skills that will better prepare them to move ahead into a workforce or career field that is largely characterized by entrepreneurship and outside-of-the-box thinking. The arts curriculum provides students with a creative learning environment that includes performances, exhibitions of artwork, and special performing groups. Students will have many opportunities to build community relationships and to participate in a quality, comprehensive arts education that includes dance, music, theatre, visual arts, STEAM, and creative writing.
