Medium of Instruction & Curriculum
English is the primary Medium of Instruction (MOI).
Curriculum: The curriculum combines Hong Kong and IB approaches. Forms 1 to 3 use the IB Middle Years Programme framework with a broad school-based curriculum, while senior students may progress through HKDSE or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.
Teaching Language Policy: Holistic Language Policy - English, Putonghua and Cantonese are all strongly promoted across the school through performances, reading and other language-enhancing activities. The school considers that the continued development of students' mother tongue supports their successful acquisition of additional languages. All teachers are teachers of language, and this drives the school's recruitment of a language-rich, culturally diverse teaching team (42% native-English speaking and overseas-returned bilingual). Teaching staff come from all 6 continents bringing cultural and linguistic diversity to the school which matches our student body.
Secondary One Admission
As a Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) school that does not participate in the Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) System, the school manages its Secondary One admissions independently. Parents should apply directly to the school and refer to its official website for application dates, admission criteria, required documents and interview arrangements. Applicants are not restricted by school net. Parents who accept an offer from the school will be required to complete the relevant confirmation procedures and give up any subsidised Secondary One place available through the SSPA System.
School Fees
This is a Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) school. DSS schools account for approximately 12% of all secondary schools in Hong Kong. They receive government subsidies but may charge school fees to support their educational services, programmes and facilities. The annual school fee is shown below. Please refer to the Education Bureau’s Fees Certificate for the approved fee and payment details.
School Mission & Governance
We recognize that all students are uniquely talented. Within our exceptionally supportive community, students develop positive relationships and relish the opportunity to realise their individual potential to the full. Learning at CSS is highly student-centred, engaging and inquiry based. Through a broad range of experiences in and beyond school, students become confident, optimistic, compassionate and internationally-minded young adults, ready to find their place in the world.
