Fencing is a sport that challenges one both physically and mentally. Strategy and agility is key in this sport, as well as endurance and a highly motivated and determined mindset. The fencing club boasts a tight-knit group of fencers from all backgrounds of experience. We train in a safe environment, and have access to our own equipment stored inside the school. We gain new members every year, both novices and experienced fencers, and we work to promote the sport throughout the HKIS community.

Lacrosse is one of the most popular traditional North American sports and yet is little known outside of the US and Canada. Our goal as a club is to promote lacrosse at HKIS and allow lax boys and girls to keep up their playing overseas. During practice we provide coaching in stick skills, gameplay, fitness, and opportunity to scrimmage. Beginners and veterans alike are welcome on our girls’ and boys’ teams!
