Led by highly qualified, UK-trained Early Years experts in our colourful, stimulating learning spaces, our programme has been designed to nurture every aspect of your child’s growth and to build their love for learning.
Early childhood is a time of unparalleled cognitive, physical, and social development. These formative years shape not only how a child does in school, but also their long-term happiness and wellbeing.
In our schools, we offer a high-quality, holistic Early Years education that prepares our students for a bright future.
Through guided and child-directed play, our youngest learners develop their independence, sense of responsibility, fine and gross motor skills, communication and social skills, emotional regulation, and more.
We know that children learn best when they feel secure, happy, and supported. Our inclusive international Early Years environments – cultivated by caring teachers who prioritise safety and wellbeing – empower our nursery and pre-school students to confidently explore, play, and grow.
In our schools, learning is joyful. Every day is packed with playful early childhood experiences that spark imaginations and pique our students’ curiosity. We believe that every learning activity is an opportunity for fun and laughter, too, as well as a chance to learn skills that last a lifetime.
Our children love coming to school, which is thanks to the wonderful relationships they build with our extraordinary international Early Years teachers.
Caring and compassionate, innovative and imaginative, our dedicated teachers and support colleagues bring a wealth of specialist qualifications and experience to our classrooms. They share our commitment to personalised, play-based learning, and use their early childhood expertise to deliver high-quality activities that are proven to nurture growth.
All our colleagues go through a meticulous recruitment process, too, ensuring they meet our rigorous safeguarding criteria.
From the moment you get in touch with us through to your child’s first day, the Nord Anglia International School Hong Kong admissions team is here to help. As you prepare your child’s application, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions.
Please complete the online application form with details for each child, which you’ll send to the NAIS Hong Kong’s admissions department. We’ll also ask you for:

For more information about applications, or to book a visit, please contact admissions@nais.hk
We aim to meet as many children as possible during our assessment periods, which we organise on a rolling basis.
While we guarantee an assessment for siblings and debenture holders we are not able to guarantee assessments for all other children due to the volume of applications we receive.
As our application fee is non-refundable, we strongly encourage you to contact our Admissions Manager before you apply if you have any concerns about available places or your child's eligibility.
If your child is not offered a place during this first round of assessments, we may offer you the option of remaining on a waiting list, and we’ll contact you if places become available.
Our assessments are usually conducted in small groups of 8 to 10 students and have been designed to be as relaxed as possible. We aim to get to know your child better and to understand how they learn.
We do not do formal interviews. Our team will be on hand to encourage and support the children throughout the assessment, making them feel comfortable.
Please bring the following documents to the assessment:
Please note that we are not able to accept cash.
We know that families are always keen to find out the results of assessments, and we aim to respond to families within two weeks. This may be slightly longer at peak periods. One of our Admissions Managers will be your direct contact throughout the process, and you’re always welcome to contact them for updates.
Although we wish we could offer all children places at our school, our spaces are frequently limited. You’ll receive one of three notifications:
