HQIS offers 14 AP Courses for High School students. AP subjects are college-level courses that require rigorous preparation, and that allow students to get ready for university beforehand by taking college-level tests. Students who choose AP courses have the opportunity to build and strengthen academic skills, such as critical thinking and analysis, that are essential in university. In addition, students will be able to earn credits that can be crucial when they will face college admission, and that will allow them to move into to upper-level college courses sooner. HQIS is also an official AP Test Center, and students can take AP exams at our school. HQIS is also an official AP Test Center, and students can take AP exams at our school.

Project-Based Learning focuses on developing students’ ability to think critically and creatively while collaborating on solving real-world problems across subject areas. Students participate in mixed groups from all grades in order to develop and respond to a Driving Question. As students work towards developing their response, they acquire relevant knowledge and skills, learn about project management and execution, critique and revise their work, present it to an authentic audience, and reflect on what they have learned.

作为HQIS中学部的特色课程之一，PBL项目式学习注重培养学生的批判性和创造性思维能力，同时合作解决跨学科领域的现实问题。所有年级的学生参加混合小组，以开发和回答驱动问题。当学生努力发展他们的反应时，他们获得相关的知识和技能，学习项目管理和执行，评论和修改他们的工作，向真实的观众展示它，并反思他们的所学。
