One of HD’s most distinctive educational philosophies is its emphasis on growth over perfection. As Vice Principal Yang Yucui often says, “Ninety points is enough.” Rather than encouraging students to spend excessive time chasing a perfect score, HD values curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity.
HD believes that innovation comes from exploration and trial-and-error, not from fear of making mistakes. By creating an environment where students are encouraged to take risks and learn from failure, HD helps them develop independent thinking, resilience, and a genuine passion for learning.
To cultivate innovative, action-oriented, and globally minded citizens, HD’s teachers design an annual “International Week” for every grade. During this immersive, week-long program, teachers co-create interdisciplinary projects that extend classroom learning or introduce entirely new themes.
Students begin by exploring key concepts and theories, then conduct research, collaborate in teams, solve real-world problems, and present creative outcomes. By dedicating an extended period to a single project, students develop critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, and execution skills while gaining a deeper understanding of global issues and diverse perspectives.
This course exemplifies the STEAM approach by integrating science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics rather than teaching them separately. Through project-based and problem-driven learning, students explore real-world problems and meaningful themes using experiments, design, field research, and digital storytelling. Working collaboratively, they apply knowledge from multiple disciplines to develop practical solutions instead of passively receiving information.
STEAM emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, communication, and teamwork while helping students connect classroom learning with real life challenges. In doing so, it equips them with the interdisciplinary mindset and problem-solving skills needed for an increasingly complex world.
Every child is born with a desire for self-expression. Art and culture are not only vehicles for aesthetic education but also important pathways to self-awareness and identity formation. In Prep, children are given both a stage for expression and fertile ground for growth.

Food preparation with toddlers is about hands-on experiences, building confidence, trying new flavors, and having fun in the kitchen.
The “Hero’s Journey” is HD’s signature outdoor interdisciplinary program, designed to help students discover their strengths through experiences in reality. Built on the belief that self-discovery is at the heart of education, the program integrates embodied learning with academic subjects.
Through monthly learning expeditions beyond the classroom, such as nature exploration, museum studies, and field-based projects, students engage directly with the world around them. These experiences encourage reflection, curiosity, and personal growth while helping students connect knowledge with practice and uncover their unique potential.
The physical education curriculum helps students build healthy, flexible, and resilient bodies. It follows a progressive sequence from kindergarten through Grade 5 and moves beyond a traditional competition-focused model. Through gamified, varied activities, it fosters lifelong movement habits.
The program also offers specialized instruction and team training in golf, tennis, swimming, soccer, and martial arts, preparing students to compete in leading youth events in China and internationally.
Through careful observation, hands-on exploration, and repeated practice, children learn to classify, match, and sort materials, strengthening their sensory awareness.

The HD Kindergarten life education curriculum helps young children connect with nature, care for plants and animals, and observe the beginnings and growth of life. CASA teachers have created a rich plant-and-animal learning area where children can explore living things, develop an appreciation for life, and experience the joy of discovery.
Children’s social difficulties often have underlying causes. When children seek support from a counselor, the counselor listens patiently, helps them understand the situation, and guides them to reflect on their behavioral patterns. When children express anger, counselors help them process their emotions and gradually learn to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically.
This kind of growth cannot come from lectures or abstract principles alone; it requires personal experience and reflection.
HD’s Positive Education program addresses growing challenges among young people, including lack of motivation, social connection, and sense of purpose. Rather than focusing solely on academic achievement, the program encourages students to explore deeper questions such as “Who am I?” and “What does a meaningful life look like?”
Drawing on positive psychology, personal growth, and real-world perspectives, students develop emotional resilience, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of purpose. The program aims to support lifelong well-being by helping students build both the inner strength and values needed to thrive in an uncertain future.
Many charitable activities begin and end with donations. At HD, however, we see philanthropy as an ongoing cycle of learning, action, and accountability. This year, all donations will support the “Read for Love” charity fund, which funds initiatives conceived and run by HD students, from rare disease care and stray animal rescue to educational equity.
Every contribution is transparently accounted for. More than a donation, this is a social practice project planned and carried out by the students themselves.
