Through workshops and activities, they have explored future pathways and begun asking important questions about what they might study, where they might go, and the opportunities they wish to pursue. The week leads into the HCMC Global University Fair on Monday, 28 September, hos

Dear ISHCMC High School Community, Last week, I was pleased to connect with many Grade 11 students and parents at our Grade 11 Back to School Night. Moving from the MYP to the DP is so much more than a change in curriculum. It is the beginning of a bigger question: what comes after graduation? I hope the evening gave students and families an opportunity to explore not only the academic pathways ahead, but also the people, and the culture of care that will support our students
