Join the English Schools Foundation (ESF) family

Posted on 31st Jan 2019 in School News, Hong Kong, Admissions

Getting the right school for children is certainly the most important decision every family has to make. It would be great to get it right from start. However, the world is changing so rapidly that there are always some parents who want to re-think their plan. If that’s the case for you, thankfully, opportunities do come up at certain times where you can make a change.

The English Schools Foundation (ESF) is the largest international schools organisation in Hong Kong. For over 50 years, ESF has been nurturing talent, supporting learners and their families – and preparing young men and women to be the global leaders of tomorrow. Our graduates can be found in many corners of the world, making their marks in nearly any professions you can think of.

For parents who wish their child to join our ESF family, we now have limited school places available at ESF Tung Chung International Kindergarten (K1 & K2) and in some of the secondary schools. For details, please refer to https://www.esf.edu.hk/applyesf-school/

Adam Hughes, ESF Director of Education, said: “ESF schools provide a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where students engage actively and interact warmly with their peers and teachers. We provide world-class education for all of our students, enabling them to be the best that they can be."

To help parents make a better plan for their child’s education, ESF will be organising information sessions and school tours so that parents can gain further understanding on the philosophy and different curricula across ESF schools.
