Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Initiate contact and arrange a campus visit. Prospective parents are invited to arrange an individual visit to the School or attend an Open Day to get a real sense of the environment and meet key staff. This step helps families understand the school's ethos, class structure, and whether the setting suits their child.
2. Submit the online application and pay the application fee. Parents complete the application form online and pay a non-refundable application fee of HK$1,000 if their child is not already enrolled in Anfield International Kindergarten. The application fee does not guarantee a place. Admission is at the Head of School's discretion.
3. Attend the entry interview/assessment. Candidates for Year 1 are invited to attend an interview (individually or in small groups, typically starting in November for August entry). Year 1 entry is scheduled for August, while applications for other years may involve assessment and/or interviews throughout the year. For applicants with SEN or where SEN is considered, an individual screening may be used and additional documentation may be reviewed.
4. Understand selection and oversubscription criteria. If the School is oversubscribed after the entry assessment, priority is given to: native English speakers; children attending Anfield International Kindergarten; siblings of current Anfield students; a parent's full-time employment with Anfield; and the date of receipt of a complete application. The School states that no child will be treated unfavorably on grounds of race, nationality, gender, religion, disability, or socio-economic status.
5. Receive an offer and complete registration. If a place is offered, admission is subject to the Head of School's decision and a closing date for acceptance will be provided. To confirm entry, parents must submit a signed Acceptance Form and pay the non-refundable Registration Fee and the Tuition Deposit immediately. The Registration Fee is credited toward the first term's fees, and the Tuition Deposit is credited toward the last term's fees. Both are non-refundable if the place is not taken up.
6. Finalize entry requirements and onboarding. Upon acceptance, it is required that the child be in the appropriate age band for Year entry and, where applicable, provide documentation related to identity (Hong Kong ID or passport with residency status). If English is not the child's first language, the School notes that English as an Additional Language (EAL) support may be provided at additional cost to parents. Confirmation of entry includes completing the process and timely notice if withdrawing.
If the number of registrations for a particular class reaches capacity, the class list is closed and a waiting list is brought into operation. This waiting list is used to fill vacancies as they arise after offers and along the admission cycle. The waiting list policy is described as part of the admission procedures to manage oversubscription.
There is no scholarships program described in the current admissions materials for Anfield School.
Anfield International Kindergarten in Kowloon Tong provides a British curriculum based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for children aged two years and eight months to over four years. The school operates within a self-contained, two-storey building that includes a well-stocked library, a specialist music room, and a drama and activity space. A garden and outdoor play area further support physical development and learning outside the classroom. The school is distinctively known for its Catholic foundation and the motto "Educating Hearts and Minds," aiming to foster character and faith alongside academic skills. Programmes include Kindergarten 1, 2, and 3, with options for half-day or full-day sessions. The curriculum emphasizes English language acquisition while incorporating Chinese Studies, Physical Education, and Music. Notably, the school maintains a specific ratio of one teacher for a maximum of ten pupils to support individual student growth.
