HKIS seeks a Director of Chinese Studies and World Languages to provide leadership for the overall quality of the school’s Chinese Studies and Languages programs, including the cultural studies of China and Hong Kong and the new Chinese dual language program. The Director ensures curriculum alignment from PreK-12 while also embedding Chinese Culture into the curricular program. The Director plays an important role in collaborating and consulting with Principals in their supervision and professional development of Chinese Studies and World Languages faculty ensuring the highest quality of language and cultural education is delivered. Equally important is collaborating with schoolwide administrators, faculty, and parents to meet student needs, monitoring progress towards school goals, and fostering a sense of community.

Located in one of Asia’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities, HKIS has two idyllic campuses on the quieter south side of Hong Kong Island. HKIS is a private, coeducational day school offering a challenging American-style curriculum with both international and multi-cultural elements. The quality of the program resides in the range and depth of study offerings, and in the personal and professional strength and commitment of the faculty. HKIS is proud of its strong sense of community and its students’ excellent achievements.
The School’s Strategic Plan articulates a vision to be a leading place of learning that inspires a socially engaged community of collaborative, creative, and resilient learners dedicated to realizing their full potential. They are well on their way to ensuring their students are:
• Imaginative thinkers, exploring passions and challenges using novel and innovative strategies
• Demonstrating courage and confidence in response to challenges and showing the ability to adapt
and thrive, and
• Using a variety of methods within diverse environments to communicate respectfully work together
to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.
The school keeps students at the heart of everything it does, with robust and passionate student learning as its highest priority. This commitment ensures that students learn what the community values, starting with the six Student Learning Results, and aligns the educational program and all of its resources in support of what and how it wants students to learn. Importantly the:
• School’s excellent faculty and staff are the keys to effective student learning, and strongly supported by professional development and a professional learning community.
• Strategic Master Facilities Plan ensures building decisions are driven by clearly identified educational priorities and ensures up-to-date facilities.
• Organization’s primary function is to support student learning and colleagues, with an emphasis on being one school.
In the years since its founding, HKIS has emerged as one of the top international schools in the world. A school of choice in Hong Kong, HKIS has waiting lists at virtually every level and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
The Director of Chinese Studies and World Languages will join an energetic leadership team, dedicated to an ethos of continuous growth and improvement. With Chinese Culture as one of six Student Learning Results (SLRs), the Director of Chinese Studies and World Languages (Chinese, French & Spanish) manages a portfolio that covers overseeing Mandarin instruction at all grade levels (the new dual language program beginning in PreK in August 2025 and growing year by year up through grade 8). This role will also be responsible for the integration of Chinese studies and culture across the curriculum. With this scope of responsibility across four divisions, the Director will need finely honed skills in collaboration, supervision, evaluation, and professional development, and an understanding of how to establish and maintain language proficiency appropriate to students from Pre-K through grade 12.
The Director will design and deliver professional development for Mandarin and World Languages faculty (roughly 35 teachers and the Director of the Dual Language Program), manage resources, and partner with families to help them understand the goals of the HKIS program. Serving students from over 45 countries, the Director will be adept in cultural competency and a skilled communicator. HKIS has an outstanding reputation among international schools, high-quality facilities and resources, dedicated faculty, and a culture of excellence. This is a significant opportunity for an educational leader with expertise in language acquisition and Chinese culture.
