Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong (WASHK) is a co-educational British international day school founded in 2019 as a sister school of Wycombe Abbey, the UK boarding school established in 1896, and a member of the Wycombe Abbey International family of schools. This listing covers its Prep School campus in Tin Wan, Aberdeen, on the south side of Hong Kong Island, which teaches pupils from Year 1 to Year 8 (roughly ages 5 to 13). Teaching follows the National Curriculum for England, adapted to the Hong Kong context and geared towards the British Common Entrance standard, so many leavers move on to UK boarding schools such as Wycombe Abbey, Eton College or Cheltenham Ladies' College, while others continue locally. English is the language of instruction, and Mandarin receives a weekly allocation comparable to the core subjects. A compulsory iSTEAM course combining technology, robotics, coding, science, engineering, art and mathematics is part of the timetable from Year 1, alongside entrepreneurship and leadership programmes; Years 7 and 8 act as the senior pupils of the prep school, with prefect and mentoring roles. Classes average 15 to 20 pupils (capped at 24) and each has a teacher plus a full-time teaching assistant. Since August 2025 the school also runs a Senior School campus in Kowloon City (Years 9 to 13, IGCSE and A-Levels), and prep pupils normally progress there from Year 8. WASHK is a day school with no boarding.

School values
WASHK aims to develop self-motivated, curious learners who combine strong academic foundations with confidence, adaptability and leadership. It draws on the academic tradition of Wycombe Abbey in the UK while stressing innovation, technology and personal attention for every child. The values shared by all Wycombe Abbey schools, including trust and encouragement, guide daily school life, supported by a house system, form tutors and a strong safeguarding framework. Campuses are deliberately kept small so that pupils are known as individuals and parents are part of the community.
