Galilee International School

The school is committed to academic excellence, intercultural understanding, and international-mindedness, blending traditional wisdom with global trends. It integrates Christian beliefs to build a strong moral foundation and emphasizes inquiry-based learning to nurture the whole person. The educational approach encourages students to become caring, knowledgeable, and responsible global citizens.

The school follows the British EYFS framework, complemented by an inquiry-based approach and a bilingual program emphasizing English and Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin). The academic offering includes Pre-Nursery, K1, K2, and K3 levels, alongside specialized programs such as a Morning Transitional Program, an Afternoon Extension Program, and a French Program. The curriculum integrates science, arts, and biblical studies to promote holistic development.

Graduates of the school have successfully transitioned to various primary schools in Hong Kong, including Christian Alliance International School, PLK Camoes Tan Siu Lin Primary School, and ESF Beacon Hill School. The curriculum aims to prepare students as knowledgeable, independent, and critical thinkers who are well-equipped for future global challenges. Students develop essential social skills, a strong moral foundation, and a lifelong passion for learning.

The school maintains a low student-to-staff ratio with professional educators, including specialists in EYFS, Chinese language, drama, and music. Teachers utilize inquiry-based learning and inclusive pedagogical practices to support individual developmental paths. The school emphasizes open communication with families and encourages parental participation in school events to ensure a collaborative support system for every child.

The school accepts applications for Pre-Nursery through K3 throughout the year via an online central application system. The process includes a school tour—recommended at least one week in advance—and a formal interview for applicants. Priority for tours is given to families applying for the upcoming two academic years.

The school operates on an annual tuition basis, with fees payable in 11 monthly installments. Tuition is due by the first day of each calendar month via direct debit. The school year follows a standard academic cycle, with specific enrollment and interview rounds beginning in November.

Located in Ho Man Tin, the campus features a library, a multi-purpose school hall for chapel and large gatherings, and both indoor and outdoor playgrounds designed for gross and fine motor development. Specialized spaces include a Music Corner equipped with instruments such as African drums, bongos, guitars, pianos, and saxophones. The environment is designed to be nurturing and home-like to support cognitive and social growth.

The school offers a variety of enrichment activities, including a Summer Camp program and an Intensive Interview Course for students preparing for primary school. Literacy is supported through events such as Book Character Day, Reading Week, Library Day, and Bookathons. Additionally, students engage in music and drama-based activities to foster confidence and teamwork.
