Wellbeing

We prioritise the holistic development of each child by promoting health and nurturing emotional wellbeing. We create a safe environment where children are protected from harm, allowing them to explore, learn, and grow with confidence. This foundation supports their overall development and prepares them for future success.

Belonging

We emphasise the importance of belonging by establishing strong connections with families and the broader community. Children develop a sense of security through familiar routines and customs, while learning the limits and boundaries of acceptable behaviour. This foundation helps them feel valued and confident in their environment.

Contribution

We emphasise contribution by ensuring equitable learning opportunities for all children. We foster an environment where they treat others fairly, include peers in play, and affirm each child's individuality. Through collaborative learning experiences, children are encouraged to learn alongside one another, building essential social skills and relationships.

Communication

We prioritise communication by helping children develop essential non-verbal and verbal skills for various purposes. They explore stories and symbols from their own and other cultures, fostering appreciation and understanding. Additionally, we encourage creativity and self-expression, providing diverse opportunities for children to communicate their thoughts and feelings.

Exploration

We emphasise exploration by valuing play as an essential part of meaningful learning. We recognise the significance of spontaneous play, allowing children to gain confidence and control over their bodies. Through active exploration, they develop thinking and reasoning strategies, creating working theories to understand the natural, social, physical, and material worlds.

Testimonials

Fergus

Parent

Teachers are understanding, kind and always communicate with their parents.

Ty

Parent

I would like to share some positive memories and experiences about the teacher's thoughtful guidance to their creative teaching methods for Ty. I have felt incredibly grateful for their dedication and support throughout the year.

I recall one instance when Ty was in an activity about reading books and role play. It truly made a difference and left a lasting impression. These moments have not only enriched my child's learning but have also created a warm and nurturing environment within the school. Thank you for the incredible work all of you do each day to shape Ty’s early education experiences.

Seth

Parent

Seth is enjoying the class so much even though he has just started joining in March. All teachers are extremely good, we could feel they truly care about Seth and we are very pleased to have them as Seth’s teachers.

Hayden

Parent

Hayden had an amazing year with his classmates, teachers and all the staff at PreK. It was so heartwarming to see how close and comfortable he had gotten with everyone. He would speak about what happened at school, who he played with and what he liked. It's honestly been a transformative period of his life and we are very glad that he had spent this time with everyone at Wan chai ESF. Thanks again! 🙂

LUCAS

Parent

Lucas is the youngest one in the classroom, so he kept crying when he started to go to school last August, but Ms. Ivy, Ms. Neetu, and Tiffany Lao Shi are very patient with him and they take care of Lucas so well, they keep encouraging Lucas, Lucas is so happy to go to school every day now, I believe he enjoys what he's doing in the classroom. Thank you all.

Emma

Parent

Thank you for providing such a caring and loving environment for the children in their first year of school. Emma really likes to go to school. Thank you.

Kenji

Parent

As our kindergarten life is coming to an end, let me really thank all the teachers, especially Miss Ivy and Miss Valerie Lagarde, to express our most sincere gratitude and respect to you for your selfless dedication and patient guidance to Kenji. And Kenji also enjoys the wonderful time at different events.

Kenji was a blank slate before attending class. Through years of preschool teaching, he has transformed from a child who had no understanding of rules or the English language into someone who can attentively listen to others and communicate with them in English. This is entirely thanks to the dedicated teaching in ESF preschool program, which has allowed Kenji to thrive and grow!

Beatrice

Parent

I can feel that the teachers in ESF Pre-K are warm and caring. My daughter always calls her teachers names at home and she loves to play with them at school. The teachers here make the campus like a second home for my daughter so that she can feel secure to play and learn here every day. I am so impressed that Ms Ivy and Ms Neetu always remember Beatrice loves drawing so much and they always told me that she enjoyed every messy play set up they made for the students.

Collaborative collage is a captivating and versatile form of process art that allows children to nurture their creativity, independence, and fine motor skills while exploring materials in a relaxed environment. Our Pre-K children have engaged in this art project, discovering design, pattern-making, dimension, and composition through hands-on experience. They enthusiastically contributed to the collage by painting on white fabric with a variety of tools and colors. We started with rolling pins, large brushes, kitchen gadgets, fly swatters, potato mashers, and sponges to create vibrant layers. They also loved using their hands to explore different textures, incorporating strings, stickers, various types of paper, and natural materials to enhance their work. The result is a beautiful masterpiece that truly celebrates collaboration and teamwork. Well done to all our Pre-K children for their amazing contributions!

Our Pre-K children dove into the exciting world of dramatic play at our very own supermarket! 🛒✨ They took on roles as cashiers and customers, learning how to navigate a shopping experience just like in the real world.

With bright smiles and playful imaginations, they practiced counting money, using cards, and working together in this fun setting. This activity not only connects to their daily lives but also helps develop essential social skills and understanding of everyday systems.

We love watching them learn through play! 💚

Collaborative collage is a captivating and versatile form of process art that allows children to nurture their creativity, independence, and fine motor skills while exploring materials in a relaxed environment. Our Pre-K children have engaged in this art project, discovering design, pattern-making, dimension, and composition through hands-on experience. They enthusiastically contributed to the collage by painting on white fabric with a variety of tools and colors. We started with rolling pins, large brushes, kitchen gadgets, fly swatters, potato mashers, and sponges to create vibrant layers. They also loved using their hands to explore different textures, incorporating strings, stickers, various types of paper, and natural materials to enhance their work. The result is a beautiful masterpiece that truly celebrates collaboration and teamwork. Well done to all our Pre-K children for their amazing contributions!

Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (Distinguished MedScholar)

My Story

The greatest medicine is to teach people how not to need it. I see myself as an agent of positive change, a caregiver, a lifelong learner, and someone who constantly strives for personal growth and improvement.

With an intent to specialize in a particular medical field, I aim to delve deeper into an area where I can continue making meaningful impacts on the lives of others. I want to combine my passion for helping people with my dedication to personal and professional development, ensuring I constantly evolve as a healthcare provider.

With my commitment to medicine, I am confident I will have the means to turn my aspirations into a reality and contribute to creating a healthier future for all.

ESF Year 6 students transferring to secondary school for August

ESF’s all-through education, K1 to Year 13, enables a seamless transition from kindergarten to primary and from Year 6 to secondary. The close links our primary schools have with their associated secondary schools play an important role in delivering a positive experience and a good start to the year, for our Year 7 students.

ESF will process and allocate according to an ‘associated secondary school’ for Year 7 placement. Below are the associated secondary schools for each primary school.

ESF primary schoolAllocated ESF secondary school
Bradbury SchoolSouth Island School
Quarry Bay SchoolSouth Island School
Glenealy SchoolIsland School
Peak SchoolIsland School
Kennedy SchoolWest Island School
Beacon Hill SchoolIsland School
Kowloon Junior SchoolKing George V School
Clearwater Bay SchoolKing George V School
Sha Tin Junior SchoolSha Tin College

The Year 7 transition information will be sent to parents via email with details to login and access the form.

All Year 6 students enrolled in an ESF primary school by 1 December are guaranteed a place in an ESF secondary school on completion of Year 6.

For Year 6 students in Learning Support (LS): the child’s placement will be managed and allocated through a different process that takes account of the availability of Year 7 LS placements across all secondary schools. The student’s Year 7 placement will be confirmed by the end of November.

A student joining Year 6 from 1 December onwards can not be guaranteed a secondary school place at their corresponding ‘associated secondary school’ but offered a Year 7 place at an alternative secondary school where there is availability.

For Renaissance College and Discovery College Year 6 students

The guarantee of Year 7 place is with the corresponding secondary sections. Transfer requests to an ESF secondary school may be considered based on availability and date of written request starting from 1 September to your school’s admissions office. There is no guarantee of transfer to Year 7 in an ESF secondary school.

Please note transfer between a private independent school and an ESF school and vice versa will mean payment of deposit and capital/building levy to take up the school place.

Please note the following key dates:

First two weeks of SeptemberParents complete the Year 7 transfer form
End NovemberYear 7 offer letters are sent via email from ESF Centre
Beginning of  DecemberDeadline to confirm places the Year 7 places offered. ESF primary students are requested to pay the deposit to confirm the place.

ESF K2 students transferring to primary school for August

Students who are attending ESF kindergartens will complete the Year 1 transition process. Information from ESF kindergartens will support the transition process.

Students in ESF kindergartens identified as needing additional learning support may be recommended to apply through the Admission and Review Process. This is a separate application process managed centrally at ESF Centre. This process also applies to all students applying from outside ESF. There are limited resources for placement within Learning Support and Jockey Club Sarah Roe School. Not all students going through the Admission and Review Process may be placed, as the demand is often greater than the number of places available.

The Year 1 transition information will be sent to parents via email with details to login and access the form.

All K2 students enrolled in an ESF kindergarten before 1 December are guaranteed a place in an ESF primary school on completion of K2.

A new student joining K2 on or after Year 1 offers to go out cannot be guaranteed a primary school place but will be given high priority on the waitlist for a Year 1 place.

Allocation for primary school is based on priority order plus EDB requirements (when necessary), and computer-generated random numbers. K2 children may be directed to an alternative primary school if there is an oversubscription at their first preference school. There is no guarantee of the school of first preference. All ESF primary school offers are accepted with a two-year commitment before any transfer request, regardless of residential address.

Please note the following key dates:

First two weeks of SeptemberParents complete the Year 1 transfer form
End NovemberYear 1 offer letters are sent via email from ESF Centre
Beginning of  DecemberDeadline to confirm places the Year 1 places offered. ESF kindergarten students are requested to pay the deposit to confirm the place

ESF Levels of Adjustment Framework​

The ESF Levels of Adjustment (LOA) provide a framework for identifying and documenting the adjustments and accommodations for students who require support for learning.

ESF uses LOA 1 to 6 to describe the amount and type of support a student requires in order to access the curriculum. The LOA also reflects the level of provision required.

Outlined below are the most common placements for students with LOA 1 to 6. Occasionally, placements may differ depending on the profile of the individual student.

LOA 1

Mainstream with support
Additional Differentiation:

Additional, ongoing class-based teaching and learning adjustments led by the class or subject teacher, in liaison with the IN department and/or short-term small group or individual intervention in 1 or 2 dimensions of schooling.

LOA 2

Mainstream with support
Additional Differentiation:

Regular, individualised teaching and learning adjustments of objectives, outcomes, materials or equipment, in multiple dimensions of schooling, as a result of class-based assessments and teacher judgement.

A combination of additional small group support, for minimum 2 cycles of intervention, in multiple areas. The student has an IEP, there is an ongoing liaison between class/subject teachers and the IN department, and there is regular contact with parents. These students often sit well below age-related expectations in one of the dimensions of schooling.

LOA 3-4

Learning Support
Daily, continuous differentiation:

Daily, individualised teaching and learning adjustments of objectives, outcomes, materials or equipment.

Access to daily push-in support in mainstream lessons and pull-out support focusing on skill development, concept reinforcement, and functional life skills teaching. Access to alternative curriculums at the secondary level.

LOA 5-6

Jockey Club Sarah Roe School
Continuous individualised differentiation:

Continuous, individualised support. Systematic interventions and highly individualised teaching programmes through multidisciplinary approaches with a high staff-to-student ratio.

Learning Support

Mainstream with Support

Many students who require less extensive, class-based teaching and learning adjustments are catered for within mainstream classes in all kindergartens and schools.

Learning Support

Students who require more extensive, daily teaching and learning adjustments are catered for within learning support (LS) within ESF primary schools and secondary schools.

Entry to this level of provision is through a central process called the Admissions and Review Process, not through the local school.

Jockey Club Sarah Roe School

Students who require the most extensive teaching and learning adjustments are catered for within the Jockey Club Sarah Roe School (JCSRS).

JCSRS has a bespoke curriculum that is designed to be broad and balanced to meet the needs of our diverse learners. The curriculum is taught through subjects but has significant elements of project based learning that enhance transdisciplinary application of knowledge and skills.

  • Built around Global Competencies that put the student at the centre of everything that we do
  • Designed to be personalised, progressive and challenging for all the students in our school
  • Designed to give students multiple opportunities to practice skills through repeated and frequent exposure to similar knowledge and skills to develop deep learning and generalisation skills that they can take beyond the classroom
  • Designed to reflect the whole person with strong links to therapeutic interventions
  • Pathway driven and implemented through taught subjects


The JCSRS curriculum is divided into six pathways, each with its own distinct learning approach and priorities. The pathways are determined by age and also by the needs of students.

  1. Foundation Pathway
  2. Builders Pathway
  3. Integrated Pathway
  4. Life Skills Pathway
  5. Independent Living and Learning Pathway
  6. Post 16 Pathway

Secondary School (Year 12-13)

IB Diploma Programme:

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) is a course designed for students aged 16 to 19. Students can choose to follow either the full IB Diploma Programme or their choice of individual IB Diploma courses. Widely recognised as the best possible preparation for study at university, the IB DP builds research skills, promotes personal responsibility and encourages independent learning.

The full IB DP core comprises six subjects and the following key components:

  • Theory of Knowledge (ToK)
  • Extended Essay (EE)
  • Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS)

Students can choose one subject from each of the groups below, three at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL).

  1. Studies in Language and Literature (Language A);
  2. Language Acquisition (Language B or ab initio), or a second Language A;
  3. Individuals and Societies (Humanities);
  4. Experimental Sciences;
  5. Mathematics;
  6. Arts (or a second Science, or a third language).

Specialised Pathways:

Our personalised pathways allow students to focus on creative projects and inquiries and reflect on their achievements. Students whose strengths are in applied learning are often practical and goal-oriented. Courses are routed in practical and real-world situations and are made relevant to the world of work. The courses are modular with no external examination element.

ESF schools currently provide Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC ) courses which are recognised by many universities worldwide. These courses can be studied alongside other subjects and provide a varied learning experience for students.

A number of ESF schools are also developing the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP) to offer opportunities for those students who have a particular career path in mind. The IBCP allows students to specialise and dedicate themselves to a career path that they know they want to pursue. The IBCP encompasses some elements of the IB Diploma Programme within its structure. It also encompasses the IB’s educational philosophy and mission.

Secondary School (Year 7-11)

IB Middle Years Programme:

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) prepares students to become active, caring, lifelong learners who demonstrate respect for themselves and others and have the capacity to participate in the world around them. Learning focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in and beyond the classroom and encourages students to be critical, creative and reflective thinkers. The MYP is a framework on which to hang a challenging and rigorous curriculum, which provides authentic, real-world connections to the learning in the classroom.

The curriculum consists of 8 subject groups integrated through 6 interactive areas providing global contexts for learning.

  1. Language acquisition
  2. Language and Literature
  3. Individuals and Societies
  4. Sciences
  5. Mathematics
  6. Arts
  7. Physical and health education
  8. Design

Our MYP centres around and is underpinned by the following five key components:

  • Teaching and learning in context
  • Conceptual understanding
  • Approaches to teaching and learning
  • Service as action through Community Service
  • Inclusion and learning

 

As a further means of developing autonomous, self-directed learners, students are given the opportunity to demonstrate their learning through completing a project, which encourages reflection on their learning and outcomes of their work. This is a long-term project, which is embedded within a global context and generates a synthesis of creative and critical thinking and approaches to learning through an in-depth investigation.

MYP Projects
Students who complete the MYP in Year 9 or Year 10 complete the community project, enabling them to develop their commitment to service as action within the community. All students who complete the MYP in Year 11 complete the personal project.

International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE)
(Years 10 & 11):

The IGCSE is a two year course of study with an externally set syllabus with assessment criteria for Years 10 to 11. The five ESF secondary schools design courses to meet these criteria. This includes a range of language courses available in foreign, second and first languages. The examinations are externally set which is similar to the IB Diploma final examination period. Grades are awarded with students typically taking between seven to ten subjects.

Students will also be able to access a range of co-curricular courses in the creative, community service and physical domains. Some of these activities have qualifications associated with them.

Primary School Curriculum

IB Primary Years Programme (Age 5-11):

International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an international, trans-disciplinary programme designed to foster the development of the whole child, not just in the classroom but also through other means of learning. The PYP focuses on the total growth of the developing child, encompassing academic, social, physical, emotional and cultural needs.

We provide a wide range of curricular and co-curricular programmes and opportunities. The curriculum is expressed in three interrelated ways:

  • Written curriculum — concepts, knowledge, skills, attitudes and action
  • Taught curriculum —  Students are encouraged to be curious, be inquisitive, to ask questions, explore and interact with their local and global environments.
  • Assessed curriculum —Students are assessed both formatively and summatively. Students who are in their final year of the programme carry out a collaborative inquiry project, known as the exhibition, under the guidance of their teachers.
Examples of co-curricular activities include:
  • Tournament of the Minds
  • Primary Choir
  • Battle of the Books
  • Year 6 Chinese Cultural Tour to Beijing
  • Sporting competition
Our schools aim to develop internationally minded students by encouraging the development of the traits described in the IB student profile. We support children to become inquirers, thinkers, communicators, risk-takers and to be knowledgeable, principled, caring, open-minded, balanced and reflective.

Kindergarten Curriculum

ESF Pre-Kindergarten (Age 2-3):

Our approach to learning is through play based theory. Across five key areas of enquiry; Wellbeing, Belonging, Communication, Contribution, and Exploration, each toddler’s voice will be heard, their progress celebrated, and their language and knowledge nourished. Our curriculum centres on the premise that everything that occurs with or for the child is curriculum. It is inquiry based and concept driven. It is designed to be stimulating yet flexible to provide for the children’s desire to explore and investigate.

IB Primary Years Programme (Age 3-5):
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is built on 6 Transdisciplinary Themes through which students explore and engage in the different subject areas. The core of the PYP model shows the 5 Essential Elements which are common to all teaching and learning: concepts, skills, knowledge, attitudes, and action. The PYP Curriculum provides:
  • Content guidelines and learning objectives
  • A teaching methodology
  • Assessment strategies
Mandarin Chinese is the specialist language and is integrated into the PYP programme, forming a core aspect of the curriculum. At Abacus and Tung Chung International Kindergartens, there is a choice between an English stream and a bilingual English and Mandarin Chinese stream.
