Mount Kelly School Hong Kong Information

Mount Kelly School Hong Kong opens in September 2017, firstly with our City Campus (Preparatory School) and Kindergarten (Preschool). Design and construction continues on our main campus located in So Kwun Wat, Tuen Mun which opens in September 2018. Our new school offers both city campuses in the Kowloon City District, a Preparatory School (Years 1-6), and an International Preschool School (Playgroup-Reception K2). Our planned campus at Tuen Mun will offer education from Years 1 – 8, and will include boarding facilities for pupils.

We are proud of our strong links with Mount Kelly School, a leading independent school in England and we share in their tradition of excellence and the core values that they embody. The ethos of the school is one of excellence within a supportive and family orientated environment. Mount Kelly provides academic success together with broad opportunities in music, art, drama, and sport provide an all-round education.

We are fortunate to have been able to draw on their educational expertise and utilise these in a new exciting school, incorporating the very best of British independent education. Mount Kelly School Hong Kong will, as far as possible, adopt the values, ethos and learning opportunities offered to the pupils in the UK school. Mount Kelly School Hong Kong will closely follow the policies and schemes of work, that Mount Kelly UK currently use. Mount Kelly Hong Kong will endeavour to offer a very similar education to its sister school, but within a Hong Kong setting. We are proud that our Hong Kong school will be the Mount Kelly Foundation’s first international campus and will be only the second HMC school to open in Hong Kong.

The School curriculum of our school will follow closely the English school system and school environment, using the National Curriculum as a framework. Our aim is to recruit the very best staff for every available position in the school. Our focus is on getting staff with the right personal qualities, qualifications and experience. We’re looking to appoint staff who understand the expectations of working at an Independent UK school in an international setting. All our teachers will have a UK recognised qualification and either current UK or prior UK teaching experience. Many of our staff will be joining us directly from the UK.

We are committed to providing very strong academic standards, combined with an outstanding range of extra-curricular activities and superb pastoral care. We firmly believe in offering students every opportunity to benefit from a genuinely rounded education. Each child will be encouraged to fulfil his or her own potential in both curricular and co-curricular activities. In order to do this, Mount Kelly School Hong Kong will run an extended day, incorporating sport and co-curricular activities to meet these aims.
