International College Hong Kong - Hong Lok Yuen

About The School

International College Hong Kong HLY is one of the few International Baccalaureate schools in Hong Kong to offer classes from Kindergarten to Secondary with students transferring from the Hong Lok Yuen primary school to the secondary school in Sha Tau Kok. Both campuses are set in tranquil, peaceful areas and both schools offer a warm, friendly feel. The school describes itself as a true community school where collaboration, personalised learning and a commitment to the individual, is designed to ensure that everyone can grow, flourish and thrive and there is no doubt that strong pastoral care exists throughout the campuses. The Primary school is relatively small with 2 form entry. Class teacher to student ratios are low with a maximum of 28 students in primary classes (although usually lower) and a maximum of 20 students per class in secondary school. The curriculum emphasis is on inquiry skills and developing motivated, enthusiastic and open-minded learners with a strong focus on numeracy and literacy skills for primary level students. The primary campus is home to a beautiful outdoor garden where children can grow their own vegetables, and herbs. It recently also introduced the Forest School Programme. It is now the leader in outdoor learning and Forest School education in Hong Kong. The secondary campus focuses on providing students with an innovative, personalized, research driven education. Other key features for students include the school’s own programmes: Human Technologies, Big History, Digital Creativity and Visual Thinking, the 5+1 pastoral model and Free Learning.
