Student reviews
What students say?
I am now studying at MONASH University in Melbourne, Australia majoring in both Psychology and Philosophy. What I liked most about the IB is the fact that we had access to diverse subject areas including languages, sciences, humanities as well as arts. Studying these subjects allowed me to have more opportunities for subject choices at university. I wish all students would enjoy their IB life and be prepared for uni!
I have been in HWA since primary school. HWA is an international school with students from all over the world from that have different cultures and languages. As an IB school a lot of our projects allowed us to work together so we become more mindful and open minded about other cultures.
Having small student classes allowed the teachers to pay us attention to nurture our strengths. My DP teachers guided me to find my calling to pursue a career in Nursing.
I am not the typical China student: strong in math with top grades. My student life experience at HWA gave me the opportunity & experience to become a published author at China’s People Press.
HWA support and guidance helped me get into one of my dream Universities.
As an IB Diploma graduate at HWA, I am proud to have done the programme at the school. What I learned through the IB is unforgettable and meaningful. It has taught me about researching skills, how to think from different perspectives, and how to write a good academic paper. HWA emphasizes the spirit of the IB, and I believe every student will grow with their teachers and peers until the very end.
