About this school
Kennedy School is a primary school of the English Schools Foundation (ESF), Hong Kong's largest English-medium international school organisation. Its roots go back to a Kennedy Road school opened in 1946. Kennedy Road Junior School itself opened on 16 September 1961 with 44 pupils and two teachers, came under ESF in 1979, and took the name Kennedy School when it moved to Sha Wan Drive in Sandy Bay in 1989. An East Wing opened in 1998, bringing capacity to 30 classes and about 900 students.
The school follows the IB Primary Years Programme, using inquiry and collaboration to develop caring, creative thinkers. Teachers and educational assistants work together to personalise learning, and the school emphasises diversity, equity and inclusion.
Campus life includes:
- A setting in quiet Pok Fu Lam overlooking the sea
- Regular use of the University of Hong Kong's Stanley Ho sports centre for games, swimming and activities
- Field trips, outdoor learning and eco-projects
- An active PTA and School Council
School buses serve several districts on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon.
