Through celebrations, community activities, student-led assemblies and invisible lessons the experience in CIS Hangzhou aims to enhance and create moments of joy each day to broaden students’ minds and create a safe, warm environment where students feel enabled to take informed risks to provoke learning.

Their experience is also designed to develop and build a close community which savours each others’ enjoyment and success. Students are encouraged to develop Community and House events which support this culture and are enabled to do so through the Community Chest Fund. Students are also engaged in developing engaging and thought-provoking assemblies which connect them with the outside world as local and global citizens.
