At Repulse Bay, the curriculum begins with a play- and inquiry-based approach in Lower Primary (Reception 1–2), before transitioning into a standards-based American framework for Grades 1–5. In Upper Primary (Grades 3–5), students study core subjects—English, mathematics, science, social studies, and Chinese—as well as specialist courses like art, music, design, and physical education in dedicated “passion spaces” (e.g. Kid Kitchen, Media Lab, Farm). Experiential learning (e.g. camp programs) is built into the Upper Primary curriculum to foster character and community. Assessment, reporting, and instruction are structured around student understanding, goal clarity, and personal growth.
The Repulse Bay Campus of Hong Kong International School (HKIS) serves students from Reception One through Grade 5. Located at 23 South Bay Close, Repulse Bay, the campus was fully redeveloped in 2017–2018 to provide bespoke facilities for early childhood and primary education. The Lower Primary follows a play-based, Reggio Emilia-inspired approach, while Upper Primary continues with U.S. standards in core subjects, preparing students for Middle School at Tai Tam. Facilities include 70 homeroom classrooms, 14 Chinese Studies rooms, 4 art rooms, 4 music rooms, 2 cafeterias, 2 libraries, 9 playgrounds, and a 700-seat chapel. Dedicated spaces such as the Kid Kitchen, Hydroponic Farm, Media Lab, and STEM Lab encourage hands-on inquiry and creativity. Students benefit from dual language opportunities in Chinese and English, alongside a vibrant co-curricular program. The campus combines strong academic foundations with facilities designed specifically for younger learners.
