Types of Schools
Private primary and secondary schools, including international schools and private independent schools, operate on a self-financing basis. International schools and private independent schools typically offer non-local curricula, including those from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Singapore, the UK, the US, as well as the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. In addition to meeting the educational needs of non-local families who settle in Hong Kong due to work or investment, these schools also provide local students with more diverse curriculum options and teaching methods.
Publicly funded schools include over 800 public schools and 80 Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) schools. Among public schools, more than 700 are fully funded by the government as subsidized schools, while over 60 are government-operated, known as government schools.
Currently, there are 54 international schools, 7 private independent schools, and 20 DSS schools in Hong Kong offering non-local curricula.

| Exam type | Description | School |
|---|---|---|
| MAP | A computer-adaptive test where the difficulty gradually increases as the student progresses. The test has a large question bank, making it difficult to improve scores solely by repeated practice.

| ISEE | A computer-adaptive test consisting of five sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, and Writing. | Hong Kong International School (HKIS), American International School (AIS) |
| CAT4 | An adaptive intelligence test where the difficulty adjusts based on the student's responses. The test evaluates Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Spatial Reasoning, assessing cognitive abilities rather than academic knowledge. | Harrow International School, English Schools Foundation (ESF), German Swiss International School (GSIS), Malvern College Hong Kong, Kellett School |
| IDAT | A large-scale test where questions are randomly selected from a question bank. The content includes English, Mathematics, Global Knowledge, and Personality Testing. | Chinese International School (CIS) |
| School independent proposition | These schools create their own assessments, which typically focus on evaluating students' abilities in Chinese, English, and Mathematics, without specifically testing intelligence, logic, or personality. | ISF Academy (ISF), Singapore International School (SIS) |
