    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.
