Hong Kong International School

Reception 1 - Grade 2: An in-person assessment (developmental readiness and developmental skill level) will be held with all students applying for Reception 1 through Grade 2 and will take place between January - March of the intended academic year of entry. Grades 3 - 12: Applicants for Grades 3 - 12 must take the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) administered by the Northwest Evaluation Association.

Each student’s ability to achieve success in an atmosphere of high expectations and an environment of self-discipline and responsibility to the school community is carefully assessed. In making this assessment, HKIS will evaluate each applicant with regard to: English Language Proficiency Demonstrated Academic Achievement Personal Characteristics Fit to HKIS’ Student Learning Results

Chances for admission vary across grade levels and from one academic year to the next. HKIS accepts applications year-round and operates a wait pool rather than a wait list. When a space becomes available, we select the applicant who will best fit into our school community, rather than considering how long he or she has been waiting for admission. As space availability varies from grade to grade, we encourage families to contact our office at soon as possible to begin the application process.

We have openings across several grade levels and accept applications year-round.
