About this school
ESF Hillside International Kindergarten is one of the kindergartens of the English Schools Foundation (ESF), Hong Kong's largest English-medium international school organisation. The kindergarten first operated from small premises in Sheung Wan with room for about 170 children. In 2010 it moved to Stubbs Road, into space converted from former ESF Centre offices, and took the name Hillside. The move doubled its size to two floors and capacity for more than 390 children.
Hillside teaches the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme. Children learn through play-based inquiry, and a Programme of Inquiry links subject knowledge and concepts through transdisciplinary themes. Assessment is holistic, and the school stresses close partnerships with parents.
The kindergarten highlights:
- Engaging, play-based learning that builds curiosity and independence
- A focus on inclusion, well-being and language development
- A welcoming, diverse community where every child is valued
Admissions are handled centrally by ESF, with a school-based team available for general enquiries.
