Why Hillside World Academy (HWA)?
We can’t think of a better place to throw a culturally appropriate, awesome party than at Hillside World Academy (HWA). Why? Well, for starters it is the leading international school for an authentic Chinese learning programme as well as it being one of the few bi-cultural schools in Singapore that successfully fuses both eastern and western culture. You only have to watch our adorable video taking a peek into life at the school to see how happy the kids are learning in an environment that encompasses true cultural experiences and the internationally recognised IB PYP curriculum. Students at HWA are able to achieve the perfect balance of language-learning, academic excellence and effective educational outcomes while immersing in both English and Mandarin programmes on a daily basis. All this means one thing: HWA is THE place to host a truly genuine Chinese New Year festival in the most authentic way.
