Kindergarten Online Application

Before you start completing your application, you will be asked the required admissions date. Please note this date is for our reference and is not a guarantee of placement.

ESF will determine the Year Group for admission according to your child’s date of birth. The Year Group may be adjusted to ensure your child’s date of birth matches the ESF system age requirements. 

Once you have completed the application, you may preview the form before it is submitted. There is an ‘Edit’ button to make any changes before submission. Once you hit the ‘Submit’ button, the application is saved to the database and you will not be able to electronically edit any part of the application.

After submission, if there are changes required to your application, you will need to email the ESF kindergarten (kindergarten.admissions@esfcentre.edu.hk) quoting your ‘Application reference number’, your child’s name and details of changes required.

After successful submission, you will be asked to ‘Print’ your application form. You should print one to retain for your records. Supporting documents (listed on the application checklist) should be submitted online.

The online application may be saved as a draft and returned to complete and submit. Once parents have finalised their selected school preferences and completed the information the form can be submitted.

We encourage parents to visit our schools and ask questions before submitting the application form.  Once you have submitted the online application form, parents may not change their school preferences.

Be sure to check your email address and make sure it is accurate; otherwise, you will not receive any confirmations or updates from the Kindergarten.

In addition, please make sure your email account will not block correspondence from our school. Some Internet Service Providers have very sensitive security settings.

Please note: all correspondence will bear the exact name and will be sent to the contact address (email or mailing) you enter in your application. Please make sure this information is correct.

The kindergarten application fee is HK$1,000. This is a non-refundable, non-transferable administration fee which covers the cost of admissions. The collection of this fee does not constitute any assurance that a school place or an interview will be offered. The method of payment is by credit card through PayPal, our online payment service provider.

If your online payment fails, please use a different credit card to pay the online application fee.

Please note: If you are experiencing difficulties using the online application form, please check your browser is updated to the latest version or try submitting the form on a different computer.
