Bright building and some good facilities. Students and staff are friendly and supportive. It used to be a good school for students with special needs. But. I would be straightforward in my recommendation to avoid applying for both co-teacher and teacher positions in HKA. And don't send your children for learning support. I feel badly for parents who have been paying unreasonably high additional fees for poor LS tiers of support in recent 3-4 years. As a parent, when you raise your concern to Learning support director and head of school, your concern would fade away by the senior family management. The turnover rate of teachers is very high. More than 9 staff left within a school year in LS department.

Treat good teachers terribly, replace them with useless friends of the management. Nepotism galore. Worst graduating classes in hk, even the students that go to good school are no thanks to hka. Head of school uses “non profit” money to fly business to watch Arsenal games.

Love the school environment. Wish I went here as a kid. There's a cafeteria and a cafe with fresh, wholesome homemade food. Indoor and outdoor playground with small garden and digging area, sand pit, frog and guinea pigs. Arts room looks really pro too. They have a very good recycling programme and composting system. Kids learn through exploration, research and play. A rarity in Asia.

Myself and my children (grade 3 & grade 10) both love this school. Most teachers are excellent teachers and lovely people. The school community is diverse, welcoming and fun. Most importantly, the academics are top notch and include well being curriculum and service to the community
