H-FARM International School is proud to announce the launch of an innovative new program designed specifically for student-athletes, supporting them throughout their academic journey from Middle School (MYP1) to High School (DP2).
This program was created by listening closely to the needs of students and families with its foundation built on three key pillars that allow students to successfully balance academic excellence with sporting ambitions.
- Flexible Schedule and Curriculum
During the MYP years, student-athletes will benefit from an optimized school timetable, with a reduced number of weekly lessons — from 40 to 35. This allows students, if needed, to leave school at 3:30 PM, creating valuable time to reach training facilities and continue their athletic commitments without compromising their academic responsibilities.
In the Diploma Programme, thanks to H-FARM’s special accreditation with the World Academy of Sport (WAoS), student-athletes can complete the diploma through a dedicated three-year curriculum instead of the standard two-year program, tailored specifically for those engaged in high-level sports.
- Optimization of School Time
The program includes a personalized review of the timetable with the direct support of the Head of Programme. Dedicated time slots for study, preparation, and recovery will be integrated into the school day, allowing students to maintain high academic performance alongside sports commitments. These additional slots are made possible by removing one non-core subject from the student’s academic plan.
- Personalized Support
Beyond the flexible management of schedules and commitments, each student-athlete will have access to a customized support plan, ensuring ongoing communication between the school, family, and sports team/coaches, promoting balance and overall well-being.
This personalized support is based on a careful assessment of each student’s needs and is subject to an additional financial contribution from the family. The type and intensity of support may vary case by case — from basic teacher guidance to a fully structured plan developed with the Learning Support Department.
Through this program, H-FARM International School continues to work toward supporting young talents not only in the classroom but also on the field.
