Depending on the year group, your child may also be invited to an assessment or interview.

  • Can I visit the school?

    Of course. We’d love to welcome you to campus, where you’ll see our inspiring learning spaces in action. Please contact our Admissions Team to arrange a personalised tour.

    If you’re not currently in Hong Kong, we’ll be delighted to organise a one-to-one virtual meeting.

  • Is NAIS Hong Kong accredited?
    Yes. We’re accredited by British Schools Overseas (BSO), the Council of British International Schools (COBIS), the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA), the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO), and the Cambridge International Examinations board, reflecting the quality and rigour of our education.
  • Are your teachers qualified?

    Absolutely. Every teacher at NAIS Hong Kong holds UK Qualified Teacher Status or an internationally recognised equivalent. All have a bachelor’s degree and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) or equivalent, with many also holding master’s degrees or specialist expertise.

    Our teachers don’t just deliver exceptional academic results – they inspire, challenge, and nurture every child.

  • What curricula do you teach?

    We combine the very best of British and international curricula to ensure continuity, rigour, and breadth throughout your child’s education.

     
  • How does the Early Years Foundation Stage (and its focus on ‘learning through play’) help children develop?
    In our Early Years classrooms, play is powerful. It sparks curiosity, builds friendships, and develops the foundations of literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional learning.

    Our UK-accredited EYFS framework is carefully adapted for our international context here in Hong Kong. Children explore purposefully designed learning zones that look and feel like play – but are underpinned by rigorous pedagogy.

    Our expert teachers know when to step back and observe and when to step in with support and guidance, ensuring every child grows in confidence and capability.
  • How does learning change as children move into Primary and Secondary School?

    As students move through Primary and Secondary, our approach evolves to challenge and inspire them at every stage.

    We enrich the English National Curriculum with enquiry-based learning, creativity, and global collaborations with Juilliard, MIT, and UNICEF. At IGCSE and IB level, our students are empowered with choice, challenge, and opportunity.

    This combination of academic rigour, creativity, and collaboration leads to outstanding results – and prepares our graduates to thrive at leading universities around the world.

  • English is not my family’s first language. How will my child be supported?
    Many of our students join us with developing English skills, and we have a proven English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme that accelerates progress.

    Our specialist EAL team provides targeted support that helps children quickly gain confidence, while every teacher integrates language development strategies across the curriculum. This ensures your child is supported at every stage of their learning journey.
  • What extra-curricular activities do you offer?

    Our enrichment programme gives every student the chance to discover passions, showcase talents, and explore new interests, ensuring your child has the chance to do what they love beyond the classroom. From sport and performing arts to STEAM and service learning, there’s something for everyone.

  • What trips and expeditions do you offer?

    We believe learning goes far beyond the classroom. Our students enjoy educational trips across Hong Kong, national and international excursions, and once-in-a-lifetime Nord Anglia expeditions to destinations like Tanzania and Switzerland.

    These experiences broaden horizons, build resilience, and nurture global citizenship – while creating memories and friendships that last a lifetime.
