Any school can help a child become a good student. It is the mission of Henderson International School to go further. At the heart of the Henderson International School experience is our progressive core curriculum. Every student in Kindergarten-8th grades receives instruction each day in literature and composition, mathematics, science, social studies and foreign language. The academic disciplines are complemented by extra- and co-curricular activities. These include music, art, digital media and physical education. Middle school students may also join team sports, student government, band and musical theater. For lower school students, after-school activities such as art, ballet, gymnastics, baking, chess and piano are offered.
