Hong Kong Academy (HKA), founded in 2000, is an independent, non-profit IB World School in Sai Kung, Hong Kong, offering the International Baccalaureate Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma Programmes for students aged 3–18. The campus provides modern learning spaces alongside outdoor areas that make use of the school’s unique setting in the New Territories. English is the language of instruction, with Mandarin and Spanish offered as additional languages. HKA is known for its strong performing arts program, with drama, music, and visual arts woven into the curriculum and supported by well-equipped performance venues. The school also places a strong emphasis on outdoor education, using its natural surroundings for experiential learning. Service and sustainability are integral to student life, reflected in student-led projects and community initiatives. Sports teams are known as the Dragonflies with student-athletes competing in Hong Kong and Asia-wide leagues. With a low student-to-teacher ratio and a close-knit, co-educational community, HKA provides an internationally recognized education grounded in engagement and real-world connections .
