The Harbour School in Kennedy Town has been named runner-up in the 21st Century Learning International's school of the year award.
The award, which is in its second year, received submissions from schools in more than 15 countries.
Technology at the school enables students to create their own musical compositions and design their own apps and games. Classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards and multiple iPads, and students have their own laptop from the third year.
The award will be presented at the 21st Century Learning International conference in Hong Kong from December 11 to 13.
Better deal for US students
The US Department of Education will introduce stricter regulations next year in its latest attempt to improve the job prospects of those graduating from for-profit colleges and universities.
