About this school
Kowloon Junior School (KJS) is a primary school of the English Schools Foundation (ESF), Hong Kong's largest English-medium international school organisation. Its origins lie in the Kowloon British School of 1902, funded partly by a donation from Sir Robert Ho Tung. In 1923 the junior pupils moved to a separate Kowloon Junior School, which relocated several times, including to Cox's Road, before finding a permanent home on Perth Street in 1950. KJS joined ESF in 1980, ran a second site on Rose Street from 1994, and moved into a redeveloped Perth Street campus in 2013.
KJS is an IB World School teaching the Primary Years Programme, with transdisciplinary, inquiry-led learning that develops skills, attitudes and global perspectives. The school's mission is a joyful, supportive and stimulating environment with attention to well-being.
Student life includes:
- A Student Council and other leadership roles
- Social-emotional learning built into assemblies and classes
- Sports including football, basketball, netball and swimming
- Outdoor education such as kayaking, coasteering, hiking and raft building
