English Schools Foundation

The English Schools Foundation was established by the Hong Kong government to provide a “modern liberal education” through the medium of English. We started in 1967 with just two schools – Island School and Beacon Hill School. Over the years, other well-established schools, such as King George V and Quarry Bay School, became part of ESF. In addition, some new schools were purpose-built to meet growing demand. These include Sha Tin College (opened in 1982) and West island School (1991). The curriculum, leading to the International Baccalaureate, is adapted to Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific region. ESF's 800 teachers are highly qualified, with experience of the UK, Australian and other international school systems. School facilities are safe, secure and of the highest standards. All schools offer a broad range of out-of-school activities in Hong Kong and overseas. ESF schools are strongly supported by thriving and dynamic parent-teacher associations. Our 12,000 students include over 50 different nationalities. At the same time, more than 70% of our students have parents who are permanent residents of Hong Kong. We are proud of our high academic standards and the excellent achievements of our students – more than 95% go on to leading universities worldwide.
