Curriculum
The school follows the Dalton Plan framework, emphasising student independence, collaboration, responsibility and reflection. In the Primary School, students complete four units of study each year and engage in STEAM, languages, arts, and service-learning. The programme uses English and Mandarin (Putonghua) as dual languages of instruction, with Cantonese reading added in upper primary, and Spanish taught as a third language. As students move into Middle School they follow the “Trailblazer Curriculum,” which integrates global perspectives, Chinese culture and leadership learning into the ongoing dual-language framework. The school does not follow standard external qualifications such as IB or Cambridge; instead it uses its internally-designed curriculum through to Grade 9.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Submit Online Application
The first step is to complete the online application form. Parents will fill in the child’s details and submit the required documents through the school’s admissions portal. Be sure to check the specific age eligibility for the year you are applying.

2. School Entry Assessment and Interview
After your application is received and reviewed, the school arranges an assessment and interview for the child (and sometimes a meeting with parents). This helps the school understand the applicant’s readiness for the dual-language and international programme. You’ll be notified of the date and documentation required.

3. Offer & Acceptance
If successful, the school issues an offer of placement. At this stage, you will need to accept the offer by the deadline, pay any required deposit or fee as outlined in the offer letter, and complete the enrolment forms.

4. Enrolment and Induction
Once the offer is accepted and paperwork completed, the school sends information about orientation, class assignment and the start date. You’ll also receive details about school uniform, transport (if applicable), and any preparatory programmes for new students.

5. Ongoing Admission for SEN Applicants
For students who may require additional learning support (Special Educational Needs), parents are asked to contact the Admissions Office prior to starting the full admissions process so the school can assess whether it can provide suitable support.
