A long-established, fully-accredited Canadian-heritage school and one of only eight schools in Hong Kong authorised for all three IB programmes — a strong, low-risk choice with a distinctive dual-diploma (IB + Ontario) pathway.
A genuinely bilingual (English–Mandarin) non-profit IB school in Braemar Hill — one of Hong Kong's most academically elite and selective schools, with consistently outstanding IB results. Best for families committed to true dual-language immersion who can absorb premium fees plus a substantial annual capital levy.
Hong Kong's largest and most institutionally mature English-medium international system, with deep IB penetration and a non-selective ethos — quality is high but varies by campus, and the post-subvention fee trajectory is the thing to watch.
Hong Kong's first IB Diploma school (1988) and only AEFE-accredited French establishment, offering parallel French Baccalauréat and English-medium IB streams since 1963 — a strong but high-cost, capital-intensive choice.
A long-established, academically serious dual-language school on Hong Kong's Peak — genuinely bilingual (English and German), with parallel IB Diploma (English stream) and German International Abitur (German stream) pathways. Premium-priced with a debenture/capital-levy system that puts it among the most capital-intensive admissions in the city.
