SVS Headmaster's Welcome
A warm welcome to an inspiring journey! Set in the heart of Tianjin, the HIKSVS International School is an English-speaking, 6-15 years domestic and international primary school in a single co-educational setting; a unique collaboration between Hopeland International Kindergarten and Sutton Valence School in the UK.
Sutton Valence School is a historic and ancient foundation, one of England’s leading schools, and currently in the top division of all independent schools in the UK for adding the most academic value to pupils’ attainment. The ethos and curriculum at HIKSVS International School are founded on Sutton Valence School’s Total Curriculum and four Journeys - Academic, Enrichment, Leadership and Service, and Community.
Each pupil in HIKSVS International School will set out on a unique educational journey; a journey fuelled by self-confidence, hard work and high academic standards. We welcome a broad cohort of students, and we are proud of our capacity to identify and develop the skills and talents of each of our students, supporting and challenging them to outperform their expectations.
The School has outstanding facilities, giving the pupils the opportunity to enjoy many enrichment activities, with sport, drama, music, dance, the arts, outdoor pursuits and leadership challenges all part of day-to-day life. Individual educational journeys are all part of our Total Curriculum that adds so much to the character and health, both physical and spiritual, of our pupils. I am delighted that Sutton Valence School is known today for the quality of its education both nationally and internationally. I am committed to sharing this educational quality more widely. We look forward to welcoming you to HIKSVS International School.
