🏫 School Features: 3R Character Education + International Campus

Each form level admits about 8 to 10 non-Chinese-speaking students, complemented by the English Corner, English drama and debate activities, Harmony Day, International Culture Week and AFS international cultural exchange, creating a rich international language environment.

🤖 Forward-Looking STEAM and AI Teaching
Compulsory STEAM courses are offered in Form 1 and Form 2, along with a STEAM Society and dedicated elite training for gifted students. The school has taken the lead in introducing artificial intelligence (AI) writing assessment tools in senior secondary Chinese and English, allowing students to receive detailed feedback within ten-plus minutes, significantly enhancing writing efficiency. The campus meets millennium campus standards, featuring an iLAB innovation laboratory and a green learning centre.

📋 Admission and Interview Eligibility Criteria
The school does not participate in the Education Bureau's Discretionary Places and Central Allocation systems; interested parents must submit applications directly to the school. The school will prioritise applicants with academic results at Grade B or above (in Chinese, English and Mathematics) and conduct at Grade B+ or above for interviews.

Those not shortlisted for interview will automatically be placed on the waiting list, valid until late March.
