Island Christian Academy opened in August 2012 at 70 Bridges Street on Hong Kong Island, born from the Small World Christian Kindergarten community's dream of a primary school sharing its vision, mission, and values. The historic 70 Bridges Street site dates back to 1912, originally a youth hostel, with remnants of the original stone visible in IslandCA's first aid room. Generations Christian Education operates and manages IslandCA through a formal agreement with the sponsoring body, the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong. The school has been recognized for its use of the International Primary Curriculum, earning IPC accreditation in 2016 after four years of operation and becoming a Council of International Schools accredited member in 2019.
