Kiangsu & Chekiang
Primary School , International Section (KCIS) first
opened in September
1993. The school was one of the first in Hong Kong
to offer an English-medium curriculum coupled with
daily
lesson
in Mandarin, for
all children from the age of 3 to 11 years old, and
it was from these small beginnings that the school
has continued
to grow and flourish over the past few years. Today
the school continues to be a happy and expanding
community
where the children are able to learn in a stimulating
and exciting environment. We also insist that classes
are small in size - no more than
24 - 26 students in our Reception classes to Primary
6.
The British National Curriculum is used as the school's core curriculum, and care has been taken to modify it wherever necessary to fit in with the unique needs of children living in a multi-cultural community like Hong Kong. Care has also been taken to insist upon a high standard of behaviour from all the children, and we have in place a sensible balanced code of behaviour, which all the children are expected to follow.Our
Secondary Section grew out of repeated requests
from our Primary section parents, who at the
time were increasingly concerned about the lack
of secondary places at other International Schools
in Hong Kong. We opened our first Year 7 class
in September 2002, Since then we have expanded
steadily. Now, our Year 10 and 11 students study
for the IGCSE Examinations. We are registered with
Edexcel and Cambridge Examination Board, from the
UK, and our courses are chosen from both these
providers. In 2007 we achieved authorization from
the International Baccalaureate Organization, to
offer the I.B. Diploma to Years 12 and 13 students.
We now look forward to our students enrolling in
higher education equipped with qualifications that
are recognized by many Universities both here in
Hong Kong and worldwide.
