About this school
International College Hong Kong (ICHK) is a secondary IB World School in the rural north-east of the New Territories. It grew out of a Year 7 class started at Hong Lok Yuen International School in 2005; in 2008 it was awarded the former Sha Tau Kok Government Secondary School site, with three primary schools providing the funding, and it reopened there after renovation in 2009.
Students begin in Year 7 with an "epistemic apprenticeship" focused on approaches to learning and supported by the school's 5+1 pastoral model. In Years 10 and 11 they take IGCSE and BTEC courses, and in Years 12 and 13 they follow the IB Diploma Programme. A course called Human Technologies and the Curriculum X programme sit alongside the academic curriculum, and graduates also receive the school's own ICHK Transcript.
The school's motto is "work hard and be nice". Outdoor learning is part of the timetable, using the surrounding countryside for exercise, science and fieldwork. ICHK won awards for innovative teaching and learning at the first Greater Bay Area International School Awards.
