About HWA International School
HWA International School was established in 2006 as the Chinese International School, and continues to uphold the global vision that integrates Eastern and Western values, through the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy.
In its abbreviated form, our newly renamed academy is HWA. This reads and sounds like the character 华, which stands for Chinese in Mandarin, and reflects our emphasis on Chinese language and culture, amid an international, three-programme IB learning environment.
While we are proud of our Chinese roots and history, we also maintain a multicultural identity, where a diverse pool of students and teachers hail from East to Central Asia, and from Europe to the Americas.

Horrible school. BAD education. very pricey. Little to no facilities. Bad and unhealthy food. They mistreat teachers. I used to attend this school, I now go to Overseas Family School, OFS for short, and there is no comparison to their practices. Hillside World Academy NEEDS to step up it's game!
