About international schools in Hong Kong

British curriculum schools have a long history in Hong Kong, dating back to the colonial era. Today they range from long-established ESF schools to newer arrivals like Harrow and Malvern College. Most follow the Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level pathway, though some pair these with IB options at sixth form. The British approach remains popular with both UK expats and local families who value structured academic progression and globally recognised qualifications.
