About this school
Peak School is a primary school of the English Schools Foundation (ESF), the largest English-medium international school organisation in Hong Kong. It dates from 1911, when a handful of children were taught in the living room of a house on The Peak. The school soon moved into rooms in the old Peak Hotel and later into the building that is now the Peak Fire Station. In 1954 a new school was built on the former Peak Club site on Plunkett's Road, where it remains.
Peak School is an IB World School teaching the Primary Years Programme. Learning is transdisciplinary and inquiry-based, with interdisciplinary projects that ask children to apply their knowledge to real challenges. The school aims to develop effective communicators, confident critical thinkers and socially responsible global citizens.
Students come from more than 20 nationalities and speak many languages, with English the most common. Beyond the classroom, the programme includes trips, camps, sports, expressive arts and a Student Leadership Group, and the school stresses pastoral care, inclusion and partnership with families.
