Medium of Instruction & Curriculum

English is the primary Medium of Instruction (MOI).

Curriculum: The curriculum follows the local secondary structure with an additional non-local pathway. Students study a broad English-medium junior and HKDSE curriculum, while GCE International Advanced Level is available to Secondary 5 and 6 students.

Teaching Language Policy: We are an EMI school. Most of the academic subjects are taught in English. Some Chinese classes are taught in Putonghua. Besides, Japanese, French and German are offered as third language options.

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.
