Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school was founded in September 1991 in Kennedy Town with about 200 pupils and the support of the Ministry of Education, Singapore. In 1995, the school moved to its current Nam Long Shan Road site, on land granted by the Hong Kong government, with construction funded by the Singapore government. The school later expanded to include a linked secondary campus (opened in 2012).
The school describes its community as made up of staff, students, parents and alumni who all play a part in the school’s life. It works in partnership with the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and alumni network. The school website notes that parents, former students and ex-staff contribute to events and support.
The school has a voluntary, non-profit Parent Teacher Association (SIS-PTA) composed of parents and school representatives. The PTA’s objectives include promoting a sense of community, providing a forum for parents and teachers to exchange views, encouraging parent participation in school programmes and assisting in fundraising for school-related needs. Recent events organised by the PTA include an annual Spring Fair and a “Thank You Teachers’ Dinner”. The PTA also organises the “Joyful Recipes of Love” cookbook as a fundraising project, launched to mark the school’s 30th anniversary, with proceeds to charity. Volunteer parent programmes are also promoted via PTA recruitment of parent volunteers.
Singapore International School (Hong Kong)’s Secondary Campus opened in 2012, when the school extended its programme to accommodate secondary and pre-university levels, and is located at 2 Police School Road, Wong Chuk Hang. The six-year secondary curriculum begins with a Singapore-style Lower Secondary framework in Years 1–2, followed by the internationally-recognised Cambridge IGCSE in Years 3–4 and culminates in the IB Diploma Programme in Years 5–6. The campus is adjacent to the primary site, connected by a link-bridge, facilitating continuity for students progressing from Primary to Secondary. Instruction is predominantly in English, with Chinese (Putonghua) taught as a core language; students also have access to enrichment and co-curricular programmes in leadership, sport and the arts.
