Experiential Leadership

The Community Leadership course teaches students the skills for effective leadership for school and the world beyond. This course is required for elected members of the student government Executive Council but is open to anyone interested in learning more about leadership and participating in the authentic work of leaders in the school culture through its project-based approach. We hope that this course has the potential to inspire the next generation of HKIS leaders to continually pursue excellence and personal development. Whether it be in the classroom, on the field, or at the dinner table, we believe HKIS serves to educate its students on the importance of communication, initiative, and integrity within leadership. We hope this course serves as a medium to educate students on their potential growth in these areas. 

The Spiritual Community class will be engaged in nurturing the spiritual life of our high school community through a strengths-based approach to servant leadership and event planning. Our class will work to enrich and enliven school culture, design spiritually-focused Community Gatherings, and support student life and other events to build a sense of belonging and purpose in our school. Grounded in Christian faith and respecting the spiritual lives of all, these events must be accessible for students of any or no religious tradition, while maintaining a strong connection with the values of our foundational Christian tradition. 

Note: The course is taught through a faith-based Christian lens. 

Students who express interest in this course must complete a brief interview with the teacher to ensure fit.
