The School of Choice in Hong Kong
This latest recognition for NAIS Hong Kong highlights the school’s commitment to empowering “global citizens through innovative education and holistic development.” The school was also praised for its personalised learning approach, where teachers tailor small classes to build confidence, creativity, and resilience.
NAIS Hong Kong students consistently outperform the global average in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, achieving an average of 35.7 points out of 45 in 2025 versus the global average of 30.58. In addition, 44.9% of IGCSE grades were awarded at A*-A, reflecting the school’s strong academic offering.
Ritzy Hong Kong previously named NAIS Hong Kong as its overall “Secondary School of the Year” in both 2022-2023 and 2024-2025. The school was also named “Primary School of the Year” in 2023-2024.
