English is the language of instruction and Mandarin is taught to develop explicit English and Mandarin competencies.

Sha Tin Junior School (SJS) is an ESF primary school in Fo Tan, Sha Tin, serving around 900 students aged 5–11. It follows the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and is part of Hong Kong’s largest English-medium school organisation. On campus, students benefit from sports, arts and drama facilities, and the programme regularly extends learning beyond classrooms through trips, excursions and camps. SJS emphasises student leadership, with roles such as Student Council, House Captains, CARE Reps and Environmental Reps. Language learning focuses on English and Mandarin, with support for home languages. The school is easily reached in the New Territories—visitors are advised to take the 69K light bus from Sha Tin Station, as there is no on-site parking. Notably, SJS highlights initiatives recognised in its IB evaluation, including the Global Goals Award Scheme and increased student engagement.
