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.
