How would you rate Australian International School Hong Kong (AISHK)?
AISHK has a low end curriculum behind other international schools in Hong Kong. When you hit up staff about it they will deny any educational gaps & charge you a terms fees as penalty for leaving for a better school. Save your time & money by looking at other schools with a focus on academics rather than just play & well being.
I'm a student at AISHK and the teachers are nice, they support you with your difficulties and you can make many friends! If you can't, just go to the library or you could find a teacher to chat with, there are plenty of them on duty, or a person will approach you and say "hey, do you wanna play with me?", just sit on the friendship bench. I would say, the toilets do need improvements though.
I believe at least decade ago their teachers were good, because I was recommended here by a former graduate. However, this school has greatly declined from then to now in terms of quality teachers because it really feels like you are only paying for half decent facilities and horrible teachers. The only decent thing about this school is their facilities. Their teachers have no ability to teach whatsoever, and merely instruct students to complete worksheets and read the provided textbook. They are unable to answer questions about the textbook posed by the student.
It’s a good school!! It provides learning spaces and good environments for the teaching of students. Teachers are experienced.
Very unhygienic school. Toilets are rarely cleaned with stains everywhere. The teachers don't really teach anything, they just give you work and tell you to figure it out on your own. Some primary teachers are very rude and some of the students are racist/sexist. The only good teachers would be the chinese teachers.
Poorly managed school, teachers are not professional and subjective, a school for parents looking at a place for kids to spend time but not to achieve. Possibly only a good bridge for connecting to future studies in Australia
I graduated from AISHK in 2013. At the time I told the careers advisor Ms FC I wanted to do a course at USyd, she insisted I don't bother trying (even if my predicted marks met entrance requirements). She suggested I try UTS instead, I did not take her advice. I am graduating from the #1 medical school in Australia soon. This was not an isolated incident, Ms FC told a friend in my med school cohort not bother with medicine. In short, If you want teachers to believe in your kids, don't send them here. other things I noticed during my time there - overt racism - most students have 1000s of dollars of tutoring to compensate for terrible teaching (all 40+ IB kids did this) - Little support for centralized assessments ( because the teachers didn't like wasting their time marking them)
Teaching quality is all over the place, especially considering the high fees. I guess it must be difficult to try to hire Australian-curriculum teachers in a country with few other Australian schools, so I suppose beggars can't be choosers, and a few of the teachers are truly excellent, but if you send your kid here and they happen to struggle in a subject where they are unlucky enough to get assigned not-so-competent teachers, then you've wasted a lot of time and a LOT of money.
Simply put: several of the most senior administrative positions at this school are occupied, and have been for many years, by people who do not believe that women and girls should truly be treated as equal to men and boys, and this attitude is and has been consistently expressed through a variety of discriminatory policies, both formally and informally enforced, which significantly affect the daily experience of students. A place like this shouldn't still exist in the 21st century, but somehow it does. Please consider avoiding this school.
Highly expensive, mediocre teaching, and a very misogynistic administration. Wouldn't recommend.

It’s good. Amazing teachers. Big yard. Nice. The school was founded to fulfill the growing demand for an Australian educational institution in Hong Kong. Brian Davies, a teacher at the Canadian International School and had lived in Hong Kong since 1986, was approached by members of the Australian Association of Hong Kong to create an Australian school. Additionally, local Hong Kong businessmen had also suggested to Davies to create a for profit school to prep their children for Australian university. The school opened on 6 February 1995 and in 1999 the first group Year 10 students were awarded their NSW School Certificate. The school's permanent campus in Kowloon Tong was opened on 4 September 2001, with student numbers growing to over 500 students that year. The school offers education from Reception to Year 12. The primary curriculum is based on the Australian National Curriculum that has been adapted to suit the international setting. Students in Year 7-10 follow the NSW Stage 4 & 5 Syllabus developed by the New South Wales Board of Studies. In Years 11 and 12, students can select either the Higher School Certificate of the New South Wales Board of Studies or the IB Diploma Programme. Mandarin Chinese is taught as part of Chinese Studies to Primary students, as part of a language in Year 7–8, and as an elective in Year 8–12.
