YMCA Christian Academy (YCA) is a private primary school on Hong Kong Island at 70 Bridges Street, Sheung Wan. It teaches an English-medium programme that combines the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) with the UK National Curriculum for English, and uses White Rose Maths for mathematics. Chinese is taught daily in Mandarin supported by Traditional Characters while music includes the Orff approach. Students also have PE, and the school is opposite the CYMCA Bridges Street Centre, giving access to facilities including a swimming pool. After school sessions, children can join ASA/ECA such as Choir, Competitive Sports, Chinese Hip-Hop Dance, Film Club, Lego Club and Intro to Spanish. A distinctive feature is the “YCA Agents” focus, encouraging students to take charge of their learning, contribute to their community and reflect on progress.
