The campus features Reggio Emilia-inspired learning spaces, a library, dining hall, specialist music room and generous outdoor areas. A distinctive feature at EYFS is the Forest & Beach Schools programme, giving each child regular, structured time to learn outdoors in local natural settings.

The school also offers school bus arrangements within Discovery Bay and publishes regular parent information and workshops, including Mandarin learning sessions.
