The Korean Section follows the National Curriculum of Korea with Korean as the medium of instruction. The International Section follows the British/UK Curriculum with English as the medium of instruction. Korean language is taught from Reception to Year 6, including Korean as a Second Language for native Korean-speaking students and Korean as a Foreign Language for non-native speakers; Year 6 students may study Korean as a Foreign Language four times per week. Teaching materials come from the Korean Education Department for first and second language courses and from the National Institute of Korean Language for foreign-language courses; assessment is conducted by teachers through year-level progress and regular evaluations.
The school has two language-medium sections: Korean Section with Korean as the medium of instruction and International Section with English as the medium of instruction. The Korean Section follows the National Curriculum of Korea, while the International Section follows the British Curriculum.
Korean International School’s International Section offers a UK pathway from Reception to Year 13 on Hong Kong Island in Sai Wan Ho, beside the Sai Wan Ho Pier. The curriculum is British, combining Cambridge programmes in primary and lower secondary with Cambridge IGCSE in upper secondary; post-16 options include A-Levels (AQA/Cambridge) and Pearson BTEC. Facilities include a swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball court, science labs, library and more. The school runs a compulsory 1-to-1 device program from Year 5 upward to integrate digital learning. Language provision spans Chinese (multiple pathways), Spanish and Korean. A distinctive feature is the Springboard SEN Programme, a dedicated division for neurodiverse learners, alongside mainstream learning support that keeps students in a standard 1-to-25 classroom environment. Co-curricular partnerships bring in PSG Football Academy, Clubsmash Badminton, Morlotti Tennis and Berlitz for languages, and daily school buses serve the wider city.
