DSC International School (DSC) has been providing a highly integrated and comprehensive early, elementary and secondary education for over 35 years. A member of CTF Education Group and one of Hong Kong’s leading international schools, DSC offers a unique Canadian international education experience on a direct pathway to the world’s top universities. DSC’s strengths lie in an inclusive multicultural environment and a strong focus on STEAM education.
Meeting the most rigorous academic standards, DSC students lead not only in the classroom, but in international competitions both in and outside of Hong Kong – with notable achievements in the Asian Youth Social Entrepreneurship Association (AYSEA) Business Case Competition, the Harvard Book Prize, Harvard Model United Nations, University of Waterloo Math Competitions, and more.
DSC’s technology-integrated curriculum acts as an interactive canvas for students to work creatively to tackle real-world challenges. With top-of-the-line EduTech applications at their fingertips, students are empowered to become innovators in everything they do. DSC is one of the few schools in Hong Kong to build topics like Financial Literacy, Coding, and Socio-emotional Learning Skills into their standard curriculum. These subjects are helping DSC students to develop crucial life skills to succeed throughout their lives.
STEAM Education
DSC is proud to be a leader of technology-infused learning for all students. Meaningful technology integration is an important part of the School’s educational philosophy. The use of technology ensures that students master 21st Century competencies, such as critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Inquiry-based learning, real-world application, and lifelong learning are all integral parts of the DSC curriculum. The new Creativity and Innovation Hub at DSC is designed especially for students to explore more within the areas of STEAM, AI/Robotics, Hydroponic and Nutrition, Media Design, Performing and Visual Arts. The studios are fully equipped with the latest technologies and are open to all students from Early Years to Secondary School.
DSC is proud of its international student body, representing more than 46 nationalities.
