About this school
Kingston International School provides a bilingual English and Putonghua education in Kowloon Tong, using traditional Chinese characters. In 2004 it became the first school in Hong Kong authorised to offer the IB Primary Years Programme. Its mission is to provide a challenging, stimulating bilingual environment in which students grow into active and responsible world citizens.
Kingston offers a through-train pathway from playgroup to secondary:
- Kingston International Kindergarten and Children Centre at 12 Cumberland Road
- Two primary campuses at 105 and 113 Waterloo Road, teaching the IB PYP to Primary 6
- Guaranteed secondary places at International College Hong Kong (ICHK), an IB Diploma school of which Kingston is a founding partner
Each class has one native-speaking qualified Putonghua teacher and one native-speaking qualified English teacher. Pupils spend part of each day immersed in each language and the rest working in both, within small classes and a high teacher-to-student ratio. The PYP is delivered through six transdisciplinary themes and units of inquiry linking local and global issues.
