British Council International Pre-School Opens for Admission 2017-2018
Open Day on 5 November for parents and children to learn about the Pre-School
15 September 2016 (HONG KONG) – The British Council International Pre-School is currently accepting applications for Nursery (K1) to Upper Kindergarten (K3) for the 2017-2018 academic year. Children who are eligible to study in Hong Kong can apply. The Pre-School will organise an Open Day on 5 November for parents and children to learn about the school including application procedures and admission criteria.
Adopting the UK-based International Primary Curriculum (IPC), the Pre-School aims to help children develop a respect for their own cultural identity as well as that of others and grow into life-long learners. IPC is a comprehensive, thematic-based curriculum with very clear learning goals and specific guidelines for assessing and evaluating students. Our unique curriculum, delivered through a full immersion bilingual programme, allows children to develop their language ability naturally through teaching English and Chinese with integrated Mandarin time. The curriculum also instils in children the 21st-century skills that help children stay competent in today’s ever-changing world. These 21st-century skills are: communication, co-operation, respect, resilience, thoughtfulness, adaptability, morality and enquiry.
The Pre-School Open Day will be held at our Admiralty campus on 5 November. Parents can meet with the Head of School and teachers to learn about IPC, the schools’ bilingual and bicultural learning environment, as well as the application procedures and admissions criteria. Games and activities including dancing in the music room, an obstacle course in the gym area and dress-up time in the drama corner will also be organised for children aged 2-6. For registration, please visit:

The British Council International Pre-School is committed to providing our students with an excellent bilingual education that enables them to become global citizens. Our students are inquisitive, confident, responsible and independent thinkers, led by our highly-qualified teachers with extensive experience of Early Years education methodology, pedagogy and content.
