ASHK was founded in 2016 by Esol Education, drawing on over 45 years of experience in operating international K-12 schools. The school’s founding principles included offering an American curriculum taught by international educators, and emphasizing moral, social, and physical development alongside intellectual growth. ASHK celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2025.
ASHK’s community includes students, parents, teachers, and staff from many different nationalities, reflecting a culturally diverse environment. The school holds cultural events such as Chinese New Year celebrations featuring lion dances, art exhibitions, and student performances. Community-based projects are also part of student life via the Personal & Social Development program, helping students build responsibility, leadership skills, and concern for others.
The American School Parents’ Association (ASPA) connects all ASHK parents and works to strengthen the school community. ASPA coordinates and supports various school social activities throughout the year, including parent volunteer programs and school-wide events. It also facilitates communication between parents, teachers, administration, and the Board of Governors. Additionally, ASPA manages the raising and distributing of funds to enhance school programs and promote the well-being of students and families.
American School Hong Kong (ASHK), located in Tai Po in the New Territories, offers an American standards-based education from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The school follows US Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards, and students in Grades 11 and 12 have the option to pursue the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. English is the language of instruction, and Chinese is taught in both Simplified and Traditional streams. ASHK emphasizes STEAM learning, with facilities that support science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. A distinctive feature of the school is its “Week Without Walls” program, which provides experiential learning opportunities beyond the classroom. The school is co-educational and non-denominational, with a strong focus on inquiry-based learning and enrichment. Families benefit from additional services such as an English as an Additional Language (EAL) program and a school bus service that connects students across Hong Kong.
