Hiba School
Shanghai’s purpose-built campus will offer Hiba pupils the most advanced classrooms and laboratories, as well
as state-of-the-art athletic and arts facilities that provide pupils with access to the very best academic and
co-curricular opportunities.
Let us take a journey through the campus, and let our imaginations wander as we think of all the possibilities the
facilities bring for our pupils.
Beyond the beauty of the school’s red-brick exterior, inspired by the distinctive architecture of our founding campus,
Hiba offers one of the safest and most advanced learning environments. This is the true embodiment of the Hiba ethos.
Every inch has been chosen for our pupils, utilising the latest resources and interactive learning technologies such as
high-end interactive whiteboards, projectors, a multimedia central controller and a broadcasting system.
At Hiba, learning does not end in the classroom. Common areas and hallways are filled with bulletin boards
containing pupil made artefacts. This allows pupils to feel a deep sense of pride in their work, and continue to engage
in the curriculum content throughout the day. A school should be a living and breathing educational environment.
Extending learning beyond classrooms allows this to happen.
The science laboratories, the art rooms and the design technology workshops are designed, first and
foremost, to encourage an enjoyment in both practical and theoretical work. They are also capable of creating that extra
level of creativity and ambition that great scientists, artists and designers strive for and achieve. At Hiba School
Shanghai, we know that all children are different. Our science, art and design facilities will inspire budding
enthusiasts, allow them to discover new talents and interests, then nurture those talents in a meaningful way.
The performing arts facilities cater for our musicians, dancers and actors, with dedicated music practice
rooms, the dance studio and a multipurpose room.
For all our pupils, the two libraries, specifically designed for primary and secondary pupils and filled
with age-appropriate books, are key spaces at the heart of the school. They are learning resources designed to generate
a meaningful interest in, indeed love of, reading and research.
We highly value sport and PE at Hiba. Our campus has great sporting facilities including our own 25-metre
swimming pool, all-weather running track, basketball court, field/pitch space and an indoor movement/PE space. Those are
designed to support our wide-ranging co-curricular activities programme, both after school and at weekends. Phase two of
our exciting development will see the provision of a full sports hall.
Of course, the campus is more than just a place for study. It is the centre of our community, and a social space for
parents, staff and pupils alike, as we work together to enrich the lives of our children. We have well-designed and
equipped canteens, a V&A lounge for staff and parents, and social spaces throughout the campus. Our world-class
catering vendor will provide a range of excellent foods that meet the needs of the community. Hiba Academy Shanghai
campus will be a vibrant, enjoyable environment where all members of the community can thrive together.
High-quality facilities, high-quality teaching staff and a unique bilingual curriculum focused on every child will
ensure all develop a love of learning, life-long skills and academic excellence.
