Nestled in the heart of Chi Fu Fa Yuen is our Pok Fu Lam kindergarten and nursery, an early learning space that is sure to delight and inspire your little ones. Every inch of the school offers something unique. Our classrooms have been specifically designed to stimulate children’s minds and motivate them throughout their day. Thanks to the center’s ball pits, slides, climbing walls, and themed role play areas, your child will see education as a never-ending adventure. The campus offers over 10,000 sq. ft. of space, so there’s plenty of room for children to run around and explore. A feature we’re particularly proud of is our large playground, which includes a soft play gym for younger students and a wooden climbing area for older children. Our classrooms are also extremely spacious and feature large windows that let in plenty of natural light, to aid the children’s learning. Kids can develop a love of math, science, and the arts through our state-of-the-art play areas and interactive whiteboards. We also help develop their motor skills through our sports-based physical development programs. In addition to this, we offer extensive extra-curricular programs, including art, music, STEM, and even swimming classes from specialist coaches and teachers. Besides the practical benefits of knowing a second language later in life, there are several advantages to receiving a multilingual education at an early age. Research shows that learning a second language boosts problem-solving, critical thinking, and listening skills. In addition to this, bilingual children often have improved reading, writing, and math skills, and generally score higher on standardized tests. Contrary to popular belief, young children are not confused by the introduction of multiple languages. Acquiring a second language early in life primes the brain to learn multiple other tongues, opening a world of opportunities for later on. View full school

Our school was established in 1953 as the only school in Hong Kong using Mandarin as the medium of instruction. The number of subjects being taught in English was increased in 1969, and the school, now classified as Anglo-Chinese, continued to justify its well-established, excellent reputation for high academic and moral standards. Although children of all backgrounds thrive in our school, we received many requests from families who wished their children to study, from Kindergarten to the top Primary class, in a more predominantly English-speaking environment. For this reason, in September 1993 we added an International Section to the school, with, as its most important features, English as the medium of instruction, small classes, and a strong Mandarin component added to a British-based curriculum, We believe that this option enables us to serve more members of the Hong Kong community, whether they be residents or expatriates, or whether they are here temporarily or permanently. supervisor As the demand for school places has been increasing steadily over the years, our International Section established an extension in September 2002, and is using part of the school campus at Kiangsu-Chekiang College on Braemar Hill Road, North Point, for its upper Primary classes and the International Secondary section. I hope you will find our website both interesting and informative. We are very proud of the work done in the school, and welcome visitors, whether academic colleagues or prospective parents. I encourage anyone with further questions to contact Ms. Fiona Pearson, Acting Head Teacher of the College, and Ms. Sandra Wyatt, Head Teacher of Foundation and Primary School, and Ms. Nicola Sugden, Head Teacher (Curriculum) of Upper Primary School, who will be happy to help you further. Our school is part of the Kiangsu-Chekiang & Shanghai Residents Association group of schools. We grew from the requests of parents, who sought an alternative to the education provision offered in the Hong Kong mainstream community. We exist because of the Association and as such we carry on their support for the classical Chinese educational virtues of advocating the development of a student’s moral, intellectual, physical, social, and aesthetic capabilities. (College mission statement 1958). The members of our association moved to Hong Kong from Kiangsu and Chekiang provinces and Shanghai. They are outward-looking, adaptable, industrious, and flexible. Whilst cherishing their origins the members view all cultures and peoples with respect and value diversity and homogeneity in equal measure. Our school will strive to develop the same qualities in our students. The International Sections of our Schools are firmly placed in the “International” sector of education in Hong Kong. Like many schools in this sector, we were founded by immigrants, but we are not rooted in a foreign culture. We are Chinese in outlook and international in spirit. Our mission is to provide an education that reflects our beginnings but looks to the future. We respect and value the culture of our students and staff no matter where they come from, and draw on these cultures to give a balanced global perspective to our work. The school has high regard for the value of language. Here we refer to our roots and Mandarin is extensively studied. English is our medium of instruction in all other areas. No matter the mother tongue of our students or staff it will be shown the same respect as any other. Human thought and endeavor are closely linked to language and we will not give up the opportunity to draw on the wisdom of other cultures just because it is outside our comfort zone. We will endeavor to help our students grow into responsible, considerate, enquiring, young adults, who can make a positive contribution to the world. Our students come from many countries and will study and work in many more as they progress into adulthood. We intend that wherever they may go our students will be a welcome addition to that country and be able to keep growing and learning. View full school

Hong Kong Adventist Academy offers a Christian educational program from pre-primary to Grade 12. The school is located in Clearwater Bay, the southeastern part of Hong Kong. The majority of students come from the communities of Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung district, and Hong Kong Island, but some of them are from as far as the continents of North America, South America, and Africa. Hong Kong Adventist Academy offers an international curriculum that combines the best features of the American, British, and Hong Kong curriculum. The school is organized into four sections, namely, pre-primary, elementary, middle school, and high school. In the pre-primary section, we offer International Primary Curriculum with added Chinese elements. In the elementary and middle school section, we offer a hybrid of the American common core, International Primary Curriculum, and local Chinese and Mathematics curriculum. In the high school section, we offer a US high school diploma program in affiliation with Griggs International Academy (GIA). Thus, the senior secondary students would be able to graduate with an accredited US high school diploma offered by GIA. Our school does not exist just for the imparting of academic knowledge. An Adventist pioneer Ellen White once wrote “True education means more than the perusal of a certain course of study. It means more than a preparation for the life that now is. It has to do with the whole being, and with the whole period of existence possible to man.” Thus in our school, values and beliefs of Christianity are not just tacked onto an academic program – they are foundational and central to everything that happens within our school. We believe that what this world needs more than anything now is men and women of character who are prepared to make a difference, and this includes both teachers and students. In a world that seems to have lost its direction, we endeavor to provide an education program that delivers not only high academic outcomes but more importantly, has a positive eternal impact on our students.

Highgate House School was established in 1992 in Repulse Bay for the founders’ children. In 2001, Julie Lam, a founder member, brought the philosophy of Steiner Waldorf education to Hong Kong by introducing some of the basic principles into the school and with additional groups for younger children. Following the set up of a teacher training program, the International Kindergarten Association accredited the school as a Steiner Waldorf Kindergarten in 2003. There is a recognized need amongst child development experts for pre-school education to provide a more age-appropriate curriculum. Children today, particularly in major cities, can be pushed too far beyond their capabilities and this adversely affects healthy development. Stress is often expressed through social and emotional difficulties that halt effective learning. It is a case of “Too Much, Too Soon!” *. On the other hand, research shows that children with well-developed social and emotional skills can learn better in all areas and this is the key to a happier and more successful life. we provide the time and space to be supported with relevant information and the latest insights on early childhood development. We encourage a sharing and exchange of ideas to help integrate the child’s first experience of education as a natural progression from home. Highgate House provides a stable bridge from home to the more formal environment of primary school. We are delighted to offer a library and lounge area for learning and sharing ideas on child development and parenting. We have provided this comfortable workshop space with an open plan kitchen located by the Parent and Baby/Child ‘Blossom Room’ on the ground floor. Parents are welcome to sign up for workshops, for class parent coffee mornings, or book clubs.

We value regular and open communication with parents and arrange group parent-teacher sessions to provide more information about the educational philosophy as well as individual consultations.
