Could you tell us about the application process?
Hong Kong’s international school landscape is not only highly competitive but also quite complex with over 50 international primary, secondary and through-schools (primary-cum-secondary). In addition, there is also a handful of Private Independent Schools which are technically not international schools but are often appealing to the international community due to their non-local curriculum and profile. All have their own applications and admissions policy with different application timelines, age cut-off dates and admissions priority criteria. Most of Hong Kong’s international and Private Independent Schools are selective and interview applicants prior to making an offer.
