Focus
Application & Deadline
Enrolment is open to anyone, in Hong Kong or abroad. The Principal makes the final decision on admission of students into school. It is the school’s policy to try and ensure a balance in each class of nationality, gender and languages. This provides all students with the maximum opportunity of learning in a rich multi-cultural and co-educational environment with a high standard of spoken English.
Admission is possible at any time of the year if places are available. Students starting in Nursery will be expected to continue throughout the school to Year 6 and then on to International College Hong Kong for their secondary education. Usually we would expect local students to start in our Nursery and expatriate students in the year group according to when they arrive in Hong Kong.
As classes approach capacity, particular consideration is given to:
Students who are native English speakers,
Students who contribute either to the multi-cultural or gender balance of the class,
Siblings of children already attending at the school,
Children of staff working at the school,
Students who are residents in Hong Lok Yuen.
Families seeking admission for their child at any time of the year, should make an appointment with the Principal or the Deputy Principal (Admin). All students are eligible for admission if it is believed that the school can meet their particular needs.
Students with learning difficulties may be admitted if it is believed that their needs can be supported by the School’s Learning Support Programme and that students can be placed in the regular classroom without jeopardising the education of other students.
