Introduction

Guidepost Montessori Happy Valley Hawthorn Road offers a specialized early childhood education within a "cozy community school" setting on Hong Kong Island. The campus distinguishes itself with a private outdoor play space—a rare feature in this densely populated city—allowing for daily outdoor exploration and gross motor activities. Following the authentic Montessori method, the school provides a dual-language learning environment where children aged 2 to 6 engage with English and Mandarin through immersive daily interaction. The curriculum is centered on the "Children’s House" program, which utilizes scientifically designed materials to foster independence, concentration, and practical life skills. Uniquely, the school integrates enrichment programs such as "Montessori Kitchen," where students develop mathematical and sensory skills through cooking, and "Mini Makers," a creative arts module focused on design and construction. This campus provides a gentle, structured transition into formal schooling for families valuing a child-led approach.

Admissions

Admissions
Step 1 — Research and campus visits: Start by researching Guidepost Hong Kong programs and locations. You can visit any campus for a private tour, attend events, or request a meeting with the Head of School. The admissions team can provide details on program availability, the daily schedule, and current tuition rates. Book a time that fits your schedule to obtain the most current information.

Step 2 — Submit the application: When you are ready, submit an online application form and specify your preferred program and location. If you are applying for the primary school, you should contact admissions for guidance on that option. The team will acknowledge receipt and outline the next steps in the process.

Step 3 — Space availability and offer: If space is available for your desired program and start date, the Head of School will offer your child a space. An offer is conditional on completing the enrollment steps and providing required information. You will receive a formal offer and instructions on how to proceed.

Step 4 — Enrollment form and administrative fee: After receiving an offer, submit the enrollment form to secure your child's place.
