ESF schools receive a subsidy from the Hong Kong Government to provide an education for English speaking children who can not access the local system. Our schools are not selective: admission depends above all on the student's ability to benefit from an ESF education. Please click here to see our Admissions Policy.

 

General Applications for ESF Primary and Secondary Schools

Parents may submit application for admissions through our Online Admissions System to the current academic year and next academic year. There are waitlists at each of our schools and placement is dependent on places being available.

You may submit an application to ESF primary / secondary school and also to one or both Private Independent Schools (PIS). Parents are permitted to apply to both systems. For statistical purposes parents are asked to indicate schools applied to by ticking the box(es) on the online application form.
