HTS offers a world-class educational experience in every sense. But it’s the way we think about and build that experience — captured here in four fundamental approaches — that elevates it into the values-driven, character-shaping, personally transformational experience it has become for students from all walks of life.

BELONGING We’re not only open to who you are,  we’re driven by you becoming it. With open  access, opportunity, and advancement for  everyone and culturally responsive materials,  resources and experiences, HTS thrives on a  diversity of perspectives and lived experiences  and is as open to change as our students. 

CURATED EXPERIENCES One of the most  powerful things you can do as learning professionals  is to give genuine agency and ownership over  learning itself, in its processes, pace and decisions, to  those doing it. This allows HTS to deliver intentional,  curated experiences based on learners’ desires,  strengths and curiosities. 

COMPETENCIES FOR LIFE A diploma isn’t enough: We seek to  nurture and instill the skills, knowledge and disposition that will  guide our students in all aspects of their lives, here and beyond. So ingrained in our earning experience are the HTS Six  Competencies for Life: communication, collaboration, creativity,  critical thinking, character and citizenship. 

AUTHENTIC LEARNING As the the next generation of world  citizens, our students face having to navigate life’s  complexities, detours, and interconnectedness on a much  greater scale than ever before. It calls for a learning experience  that leaves them agile and adaptable for today’s world – to gain  multiple levels of knowledge, the ability to own a broad  perspective, and the development of a critical mind.  

HTS learners are inspired by ideas and driven to know themselves, others, and the world. They embody the HTS belief that Curiosity changes everything—and when that curiosity is expanded, it leads to:

• A new, evolved perspective
• A greater sense of self in the context of others and the world
• Intellectual agility
• Ability to make meaningful change
• Creating with intention
• Development of character and values as the foundation to lifelong learning

We are a borderless, inclusive global learning ecosystem where the world is the true classroom and the most rewarding, important learning is through experience. We inspire the courageous to expand their curiosity for the benefit of themselves and all of us.

We have a campus in Richmond Hill and a global online school as well where students join us from around the world
