Nord Anglia International School Hong Kong: Celebration Spotlight On Its Bronze Win For British Curriculum School 2026!

What's It Like At This Award-Winning School?

What type of school is it, and who is it for?

Nord Anglia International School Hong Kong is a co-educational international day school for ages 3 to 18. Students follow the English National Curriculum and IGCSEs, then choose IBDP, A Levels or BTEC in Sixth Form.

Where is it, and what does the community feel like?

Four campuses, not one mega-site: Early Years in Sai Kung, Primary in Lam Tin, Secondary in Kwun Tong, and a new Sixth Form Centre in Hung Hom. About 1,500 to 1,600 students from more than 40 nationalities share the school, roughly 30 percent local and 70 percent international.

What's the philosophy, in a nutshell?

Inspire every student to achieve more than they ever thought possible. The school talks about a personalised, holistic British education: academic stretch plus leadership, creativity, wellbeing and global citizenship.

Entry is assessment-based rather than open enrolment. Families enquire, tour, apply, then invited children sit an age-appropriate assessment. Places roll through the year, and some year groups waitlist.

Key points for parents

• Assessment-based, rolling admissions
• Tours via [email protected] or +852 3958 1428

What Makes This Award-Winning School Stand Out?

What do they wish more families knew?

They are the only international school in Hong Kong offering three different post-16 pathways: IBDP, A Levels and BTEC. That is the line the school most wants on a tour, because most British-curriculum campuses here ask families to pick one exam diet.

What tipped the scales for the judges?

The mix of academic results, personalised teaching, and the Nord Anglia network. Students can stay inside a British frame and still use global collaborations with MIT, The Juilliard School, UNICEF and IMG Academy. Families told judges every child is pushed toward their own strengths, not one house style of success.

What does that look like in real life?

The 2026 IB Diploma cohort averaged 35.5 points against a global mean near 30.9, with a 100 percent pass rate, one perfect 45 and three scores of 44. The largest IGCSE group yet, 106 students, took 52.1 percent of grades at A*/A and 93 percent at A* to C.

From August 2026 those routes sit inside a purpose-built Sixth Form Centre in Hung Hom, about 15 minutes from the Kwun Tong secondary campus. That is the "three pathways, one British school" promise parents can actually walk.

Stand-out notes for families:

• Only HK international school offering IBDP, A Levels and BTEC together
• 2026 IBDP average 35.5, 100% pass, one 45
• IGCSE 2026: 52.1% A*/A from a cohort of 106
• Nord Anglia partners: MIT, Juilliard, UNICEF, IMG Academy
• New Hung Hom Sixth Form Centre for ages 16 to 18

What's Next For Nord Anglia International School Hong Kong?

Any exciting plans on the horizon?

The headline plan is the Hung Hom Sixth Form Centre for students aged 16 to 18. It is built for more independence, specialist rooms, stronger university counselling, industry speakers and a scholarship programme launched with the new site. IBDP stays. A Levels and BTEC now sit beside it.

How will the award shape what comes next?

The school reads the Bronze as recognition of the British education it already runs, and as a reason to keep raising the post-16 offer rather than freeze it. Staff talk about purpose as much as points: every graduate leaving with a university or career plan, not only a certificate.

What did the recognition mean to the community?

A proud moment for students, teachers, staff and families. The award marks a commitment to an outstanding British curriculum, enriched by personalised learning and global opportunities, and it reinforces the trust families already place in the school.

For families touring now, "what's next" is practical. Walk the Hung Hom floor if your child is in Secondary. Ask how A Level subject blocks and BTEC teaching actually timetable against IB. Then book through admissions if the three-pathway model fits the student you have.
