Our curriculum is carefully curated, balanced and holistic. Based on global best practices and customised to fit our specific needs, it is underpinned by personalised learning and delivered using the HPL philosophy.

HPL is based on the premise that all students can achieve high levels of academic performance – once seen as the domain of the very few – and that they are equipped with the values, attitudes and attributes that will serve them well at university, and as future leaders.

Our students prepare for IGCSEs in Grades 9 and 10 and then follow an international A-level or BTEC pathway during Grades 11 and 12.

After Kindergarten, there are separate boys and girls schools at each level as follows: Lower Primary (Grades 1 to 3), Upper Primary (Grades 4 to 6); Middle School (Grades 7 and 8), and Senior School (Grades 9 to 12) – collectively described as Misk Schools.

Small class sizes with a maximum of 15 students ensure that every student benefits from a personalised timetable designed to maximise his or her unique potential. Currently, student numbers sit at just under 700 up to Grade 12. Enrolment will rise progressively to 1,020.

The school's new, purpose-built campus rivals any of the best schools around the world.

With outstanding facilities for all subjects taught, including specialist STEM and creative spaces, it also includes extensive performance and sports facilities with multiple auditoria, athletics tracks and sports fields, several swimming pools, a golf academy, equestrian sports, and facilities for e-gaming, archery and go-karting.
