The Upper Primary campus follows the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), taught bilingually in English and Putonghua (Mandarin) using traditional Chinese characters. Each class is co-taught by an English-speaking and a Putonghua-speaking teacher, ensuring equal exposure to both languages. The curriculum integrates transdisciplinary themes that connect subjects such as language, mathematics, science, social studies, arts, and personal, social, and physical education. Students also receive specialist instruction in music, visual arts, and physical education. In the final year (Year 6), students complete the PYP Exhibition, a collaborative research project that marks the culmination of their primary learning journey. This programme provides a structured transition from the Lower Primary stage and prepares students for secondary-level studies in bilingual or international settings.
Kingston International School’s Upper Primary is a bilingual IB Primary Years Programme delivered in English and Putonghua, using traditional Chinese characters. Classes are small, with a stated maximum of two teachers to 22 students, and learning spans language, mathematics, social studies, science, arts, and PSPE through a transdisciplinary programme. Students take part in performances, including a Year 6 musical, and have opportunities to join Choir and Orchestra. Service is encouraged through the Kingston Environmental Group, which leads sustainability initiatives across both primary campuses. Sport is part of the routine with PE twice per 6-day cycle, an annual Sports Day, and school teams. Upper Primary is led by Principal John Harper, and the campus is located at 105 Waterloo Road, Kowloon Tong.
