Introduction

Kingston International Kindergarten in Kowloon Tong offers a bilingual English–Putonghua Early Years programme that forms the first stage of Kingston’s IB Primary Years Programme pathway (ages 3–5, with a 2-year-old class at the Children Centre). Daily learning includes English and Putonghua circle time, specialist music, outdoor play, and creative activities. A distinctive feature is Kingston’s school-wide commitment to student-run clubs and community action—from Choir and Orchestra to the Kingston Environmental Group—offering authentic opportunities even before Primary. The kindergarten campus sits at 12–14 Cumberland Road in Kowloon Tong, close to Kingston’s Primary campuses on Waterloo Road; parents arrange transport directly with bus companies, as the school does not operate a bus service.

Academics

Kingston International Kindergarten teaches IB (PYP), Bespoke Curriculum for students aged 3 to 5.

Curriculum
The school offers a bilingual programme in English and Putonghua (Chinese) and follows the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) framework for children aged 1 to 11 years. The Early Years (ages 1–5) are housed in the Children’s Centre and Kindergarten campuses, and Years 1–6 comprise the full Primary section. Each class is co-taught by an English and a Putonghua teacher, reinforcing both languages simultaneously. The PYP’s inquiry-based, trans‐disciplinary approach underpins all stages, with each class engaging in exploration, concept development and action through both languages. The programme is designed to prepare students for progression into secondary school with strong bilingual foundations.
