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.
1. Online Primary One application window opens for the 2026-2027 intake on June 1, 2026. Applications are submitted online via the SJACPS Primary One application portal (application.sjacps.edu.hk).
2. The online portal is the principal channel for submitting the application and for receiving updates. You can access the application page and find the contact details there. The portal is explicitly linked from the school's Admissions section.
3. A Special Application PDF is available on the P.1-6 Admissions page, which indicates there are routes beyond the standard online application. The document is named SpecialApplication.pdf and is hosted via the school's admissions area. Its exact scope and eligibility requirements are not published in the public summary, so families should consult the admissions office for precise guidance.
4. For questions or to confirm timelines and requirements, contact the admissions team by phone, fax, or email as listed on the admissions page. “Primary 1 (2026-2027)” and the 2026–2027 cycle details are published in the school's admissions area. If you need, I can help outline the likely steps after an application is submitted based on HK norms, but the school's site itself provides only the online application start date and contact details.
The school does not publish a formal waitlist or pool policy on its admissions pages.
The school does offer scholarships and grants. Public summaries indicate that SJACPS maintains multiple scholarships and grants to encourage student excellence across academic and non-academic areas.
St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School is a private, Catholic, single‑sex primary school for boys in Kowloon, Kwun Tong District. Founded in 1958 by Rev. Bro. Paul Sun, the school operates a full‑day program for Primary 1 to Primary 6 and is overseen by the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong. The school teaches primarily in English, supported by a language‑rich environment that also promotes Putonghua. An English phonics focus is integrated through the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) program, helping students learn pronunciation, spelling, and vocabulary independently. The campus currently houses 18 classes and a range of facilities including a central library, a Gifted Learning Centre, and a Multimedia Learning Centre. In addition to core academics, the school offers STEAM Education and Gifted Education programs, with various pull‑out and whole‑class initiatives. Transport options include a school bus service and nanny van routes. The school is located at 57 Kwun Tong Road, Kowloon, close to Ping Shek Estate.
