About this school
ICHK Hong Lok Yuen began as Hong Lok Yuen International School, created by a group of parents in the Hong Lok Yuen estate in Tai Po. It grew from Orchard Kindergarten, which started in a show house with 19 children, and opened its own school building in 1983. It was one of the first international schools in Hong Kong to offer a Chinese language programme, and in 2009 it opened its secondary school, International College Hong Kong, to provide a through-train route.
The school has around 400 students from Pre-Nursery to Year 6, including a kindergarten with an afternoon Pre-Nursery programme. It has been an accredited IB Primary Years Programme school since 2010, and students study Mandarin, using traditional characters, for one period each day.
Its green setting supports outdoor learning, and the school is recognised as Hong Kong's first Forest Schools Leadership Centre. All staff are certified in teaching bilingual and multilingual learners, and the school's 2021 CIS accreditation report highlighted its inclusive environment and focus on wellbeing.
