About this school
ESF Abacus International Kindergarten is one of the kindergartens of the English Schools Foundation (ESF), the largest English-medium international school organisation in Hong Kong. It occupies a village school building in Mang Kung Uk, Clearwater Bay, that first opened in 1959 as Hang Hau District Public School and served nearby villages until 1989.
Abacus has been an IB World School since 2012 and uses the IB Primary Years Programme as its curriculum framework for children in K1 and K2. Families can choose English classes or dual-language classes, and learning is play-based and inquiry-led, with each child's learning documented by the teaching team. Children spend time both indoors and outdoors, with a mud kitchen, water play, local excursions and a focus on sustainability.
The school has announced that the Clearwater Bay site will close temporarily in late June 2027, when the kindergarten will move to the new ESF West Kowloon Kindergarten while options for the site are reviewed. Many graduates continue to ESF primary schools such as Clearwater Bay School.
