Looking for the right school for your child?

Here are a few of Hong Kong’s best international schools for you to consider.

The
Malvern College Hong Kong works closely with Malvern College UK to provide the International Baccalaureate programme at primary and secondary level. Malvern College UK has gained a reputation for being one of the most highly regarded IB schools in the country, where many of its pupils follow the Diploma programme and go on to study in some of the best universities in the world. While Malvern College HK is fairly new (opened in 2018), there is no doubt the school will follow in its UK example. Fun fact: the acclaimed novelist C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, was a pupil of the U.K. Malvern College!
