It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Kellett School was founded in 1976 as a not-for-profit parent association to provide a high-quality British education in Hong Kong. It began as a small prep school and has grown steadily over the decades, supported and governed by its parent body. In 2013, the Kowloon Bay campus opened, bringing together a second Preparatory School and the Senior & Sixth Form under one roof. The school remains parent-owned and operates on a not-for-profit model, reinvesting in facilities and learning.
The Kellett community is active and engaged, with events that bring together families, staff, and students. Kellett Cares is a student-led initiative that partners with local NGOs and charities, while cultural and seasonal events, such as concerts, fairs, and performances, involve wide participation from parents and families. These activities strengthen the connection between the school and the wider Hong Kong community.
Kellett’s PTA, known as the Parents’ Committee, plays an important role in governance and community life. As a parent-run, not-for-profit association, it has representation on the Board and supports decision-making. The PTA helps organise community-building events, including social gatherings, seasonal celebrations, and family activities across both campuses. It also supports fundraising initiatives and helps connect new families with the community. Parent volunteers are active in events like fairs, concerts, and outreach activities, ensuring families play a visible role in shaping school culture.
Kellett’s Kowloon Bay campus brings together a two-form Preparatory School and a four-form Senior & Sixth Form on one site, following the English National Curriculum through I/GCSEs to A-Levels. Facilities include a theatre, swimming pool and a rooftop Sky Pitch, supporting extensive sport and expressive arts. Wellbeing is embedded through the Positively Kellett programme and a deep pastoral structure with trained counsellors. Students engage in public speaking (LAMDA) and a wide co-curricular offer, while community work runs under the Kellett Cares banner with multi-year NGO partnerships selected by students. The campus opened in 2013 and is reachable by dedicated school buses operated by Lewis Motors. Instruction is in English; languages offered include Chinese (Mandarin), French and Spanish. Typical class sizes are capped at 24 in Prep, with smaller groups at I/GCSE and A-Level.
