ESF Beacon Hill School

    Beacon Hill School was founded in 1967 and is part of the English Schools
    Foundation (ESF). The school follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary
    Years Programme (PYP), where students learn through playful inquiry, and can carry
    this learning through to ESF secondary schools. The school’s approach is all about
    personalised learning and sparking natural curiosity in children. The school knows that
    all children are unique, and offers a flexible learning environment that encourages them
    to go at their own pace, find their passions, and hone their skills. The school’s mission
    is to be a happy, diverse and inclusive community where everybody has confidence to
    aspire to be the best they can be, now and in the future.

    Welcome to a place where happiness thrives, diversity is celebrated, and inclusivity is the norm. If you’re on the lookout for a school where learners are the focus, where the environment is warm and welcoming, and where uniqueness is appreciated…you’re in the right place!

    Welcome to Beacon Hill School, a proud member of the English Schools Foundation (ESF) – the largest provider of English-medium international education in Hong Kong. The ESF network, with its 22 schools, is committed to bringing out the best in every student. We do this by personalising learning experiences and sparking curiosity in young minds.

    At Beacon Hill, our exceptional team of educators and staff truly understand our students. We take pride in the positive relationships we build with each student, their families, and the wider community. With our strong focus on positive education and wellbeing, we nurture a space where everyone can aspire to be the best version of themselves.

    Being a three-form entry primary school with 540 students, we have the flexibility to tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of our learners. We anchor our teachings in the principles of the International Baccalaureate (IB), delivering significant, engaging, and high-quality international education. Through the IB Primary Years Program (PYP) framework, our students learn via an inquiry approach, exploring concepts and ideas that resonate with their lives.

    We celebrate the diversity of cultures within our community, nurturing an internationally-minded ethos. Our students strive to make a positive difference, just as we strive to make a positive difference in their lives.

    When you become a part of Beacon Hill, you are not simply joining a school – you’re becoming a member of our vibrant school family. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to support your child in their journey to flourish and provide them with an outstanding learning experience.
