Age Guidelines for Applications
The table below indicates the year of birth for students in each year group. We expect that children from Hong Kong will join us in Pre-Nursery (as early as two years and eight months) / Nursery and continue their education through to Secondary. Families joining from overseas will join in the year group according to their birth year. Some allowance can be made for children coming from different curriculums who were born in September to December.
