About this school
Glenealy School is an international primary school run by the English Schools Foundation (ESF), Hong Kong's largest English-medium international school organisation. Planned in the late 1950s under the working name May Road School, it officially opened on 7 January 1959 as Glenealy Junior School, a name proposed by its founding principal, Doreen Handyside. After a 1978 government review of English-language grant-aided schools, the school was transferred to ESF in 1979.
Glenealy is an IB World School teaching the Primary Years Programme. Its inquiry-based approach encourages children to explore their surroundings, connect learning to their own lives and take action, with an emphasis on holistic development and lifelong learning.
The school puts weight on belonging and community, using its curriculum, social experiences and community events to build shared values and partnerships with families and local organisations. An extra-curricular programme offers more than 70 activities a year, from performances to sports tournaments. The campus is on Hornsey Road in Mid-Levels.
