Carmel Elementary delivers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), which focuses on inquiry-based learning across all subjects. The Programme of Learning includes core subjects such as English, Mathematics, Music, Hebrew and Jewish Studies, alongside specialist provision in STEAM, EAL (English as an Additional Language), and physical education. Students in Kindergarten through Grade 5 follow the PYP framework, which emphasises transdisciplinary themes to connect learning across disciplines. After Grade 5, students progress to the Middle Years Programme (MYP) at Elsa High School, followed by the IB Diploma Programme (DP) in Grades 11–12. This makes Carmel an IB Continuum School, providing all three stages of IB education from early years through high school.
Carmel Elementary (Kindergarten–Grade 5) is part of Carmel School’s IB Continuum pathway on Hong Kong Island. The Elementary campus sits in a heritage building on Borrett Road, Mid-Levels, with facilities that include a library, indoor and outdoor play areas, dedicated music rooms, a community garden, the Patricia Creative Centre for art and engineering, an ICT/Coding zone, and a multi-purpose sports hall. Students follow the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), with English, Music, Hebrew & Jewish Studies, EAL, and STEAM featured on the programme of learning. Co-curricular activities run Monday to Friday, offering sports, arts and crafts, logic and programming, and dance. A Dedicated Learning Enhancement room supports learners on campus. Families use the school’s City School Bus Service for transport. Carmel enrolls students across three campuses, with 350+ students aged 1–18 in the wider school community.
