The Preparatory Years and Primary curriculum at Singapore International School (Hong Kong) follows the Singapore education framework adapted to the local Hong Kong context. In the two-year Preparatory programme, children learn through an integrated bilingual approach (English and Chinese/Putonghua) across five key areas: character and values, language and numeracy, discovery of the world, health and motor skills, and creative expression. In the Primary Years (Primary 1–6), students study English, Chinese, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, the Arts, and Physical Education. Character and Citizenship Education is woven throughout to build values and leadership skills. Innovation and Design, information technology, and project-based learning are also part of the Primary programme. Teaching in the lower years is bilingual, gradually shifting to English as the main medium of instruction in upper Primary.
Singapore International School (Hong Kong)’s Preparatory Years and Primary Campus is located at 23 Nam Long Shan Road, Aberdeen, Hong Kong, and serves students from the two-year Preparatory Years programme through to Primary 6. The Preparatory Years curriculum is fully bilingual (English & Chinese/Putonghua with simplified characters) and supports a class-size of approximately 22 students in PY1 and PY2. In Primary, the school follows the Singapore curriculum adapted to the HKSAR context and emphasises subject disciplines, thinking and communication skills, and character development built around the values of Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Integrity, Care and Harmony (3RICH). Campus facilities include classrooms, makerspaces, a swimming pool, outdoor playgrounds and specialised studios for art, music and drama. The Nam Long Shan campus is linked via a bridge to the Secondary section, providing continuity for families seeking through-train education.
