International school entry,
one to one.
This course is for Hong Kong families whose child will apply to an international school in Hong Kong, or move from a local school to one. A specialist tutor prepares the English, maths and reasoning that entry assessments look at, and practises the interview, alongside your child's current school subjects.

05 / Questions
About entry.
Which schools do you prepare for?
We prepare for the assessments of the schools on your own list. Each school sets its own assessment, so your coordinator checks the current requirements with you.
Do you guarantee a place?
No. Schools decide admissions. We prepare your child and support the application.
Do you teach the local DSE curriculum?
No. We teach international and UK-style curricula. For children moving from a local school, we help build the English and subject knowledge they need for the move.

Tell us your child's current school and year, and the schools you are considering.
