Kingston International Kindergarten offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) in a bilingual English–Putonghua setting and serves children aged 3 to 5. Four concept-driven PYP units guide inquiry-based learning, and every class has one native English teacher and one native Putonghua teacher with instruction in both languages throughout the day, including Circle Time. Reading and writing are developed in English and Chinese, with phonemic awareness taught and a formal phonics program beginning in Year One.
Arts are integrated through the IBPYP with a focus on music, art, and drama. A specialist music teacher delivers music sessions, and students have access to a library and a dramatic play room as part of the curriculum.
English and Putonghua are the languages of instruction, and traditional Chinese characters are used. Each class has one native English teacher and one native Putonghua teacher, with daily Circle Times in both languages. The programme uses transdisciplinary IBPYP themes to connect local and global issues.
Kindergarten features play-based learning, including a soft play room, music sessions, and PE, with daily bilingual Circle Times and access to outdoor playgrounds and a library/dramatic play room. Classes run five days a week from 8:45am to 11:45am and 1:30pm to 4:30pm.
The Kindergarten operates five days a week with a schedule of 8:45am–11:45am and 1:30pm–4:30pm. A daily school snack is provided, and there are specialist physical education classes alongside outdoor play spaces.
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.
