What is SDP?
Every Summer, HKIS offers the Summer Discovery Program (SDP), a dynamic learning experience that brings together HKIS students and the wider community. Designed to inspire curiosity and adventure, SDP offers a wide range of enriching courses led by our dedicated and experienced staff in a safe, engaging environment.
The Program runs across two sessions of three weeks each (see dates below). Students may choose morning or afternoon courses, or create a full-day experience by selecting options from both AM and PM blocks.
