DEAR (Drop Everything and Read): Service-Learning Initiative

The DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) Service-Learning Initiative at HIA encourages students to dedicate time during the school day to reading, enhancing students’ literacy skills. This program promotes both academic growth and personal development.

Every Thursday and during the second period, all staff members and students drop everything and read. Through DEAR, HIA school aims to create a community of lifelong learners who value reading as a tool for knowledge and empathy.
