Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong

The school is committed to an holistic approach rooted in a broad and deep curriculum, blending over 470 years of Shrewsbury heritage with innovative teaching. It emphasizes specialist provision tailored to individual needs, aiming to inspire independence, curiosity, and academic excellence. The school fosters a vibrant, inclusive community where students are empowered to thrive socially, personally, and academically.

The school offers two primary educational pathways: the British International Pathway (85% English, 15% Mandarin) and the Hanqing Bilingual Pathway (50% English, 50% Mandarin). Both are based on the English National Curriculum and the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, covering Nursery through Year 8. The curriculum is thematic, integrating subjects such as Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Computing, Drama, Art, Design, and Citizenship.

The school prepares students for future success, including pathways to secondary schools worldwide. The recent expansion into Key Stage 3 (Years 7 and 8) provides a seamless transition for graduates into Year 9 at Shrewsbury School in the UK, one of the "Great Nine" schools. Students are encouraged to develop critical thinking, leadership, and global citizenship skills.

The school provides pastoral well-being support and maintains a dedicated medical centre. English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is available to assist students, and the school prioritizes child protection and student support services to ensure a safe and inclusive environment.

Applications for enrolment are accepted throughout the school year. The admissions process includes an entrance assessment, and prospective families are encouraged to book a private school tour to visit the campus. Capital funding is required for all enrolled students, either through an annual capital levy or the purchase of a capital certificate, which provides priority for assessment.

The academic year is divided into three terms, typically running from August to June. The 2026/27 academic year begins on 24 August 2026 and concludes on 30 June 2027, with breaks for mid-term, end-of-term, and public holidays. The school office remains open during school holidays, though hours may vary.

The purpose-built, six-floor campus in Tseung Kwan O features specialized learning spaces, including a library with over 15,000 books and dedicated music classrooms. Sports facilities include an indoor Aquatics Centre with a splash pool and 6-lane 25m swimming pool, a rooftop seven-a-side football pitch, a gymnastics centre, and a multi-court sports hall with an indoor running track. Performing arts are supported by a 470-seat auditorium and a recital hall for intimate performances.

The school offers a diverse range of extracurricular activities, including athletics, arts, STEAM, and student-led clubs. Students participate in house events, such as the House Football Competition, and have opportunities for residential trips that foster independence and resilience. The House System serves as a framework for competition and community building.
