Our "school for one" cultivates each student's sense of belonging, identity and purpose. Our personalised approach empowers holistic development and high achievement, as our graduates excel at top universities.
We foster a culture that celebrates diversity, where unique ideas, beliefs, and values are cherished, respected, and heard. Our inclusive environment empowers collaboration, innovation, and growth in a vibrant learning community.
We prioritise strong school-family relationships, actively engaging parents through feedback sessions and community events that celebrate student achievements. This supportive partnership enhances the educational experience for all.
Our century-old legacy connects generations, empowering students with the wisdom, experiences and connections of our thriving alumni network. This rich heritage instils a profound sense of community and pride.
Our extensive sports facilities cater to diverse athletic interests, empowering students to excel. This commitment to health and wellness enriches our educational experience.
As part of the English Schools Foundation(ESF), our students are supported by the largest English-medium international school organisation in Hong Kong, providing them the resources and opportunities not found outside of ESF Schools.
Students study the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) for three years. The MYP builds upon the knowledge, skills and attitudes developed in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and prepares students to meet future academic challenges, including IGCSE, BTEC and the IB Diploma Programme (DP).
Years 10 & 11 follow the British GCSE, IGCSE or BTEC curricula and lead to examinations and qualifications in each subject. Typically each course spans two years, in Years 10 and 11, with final exams and coursework presented in May or June of Year 11.
Students choose to either study a broad-based International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) or to focus their studies and follow a specialised vocational pathway which centres around one or more BTEC qualifications. IBDP and BTEC classes are capped at 16. These small classes enable students to grow as learners in a supportive and nurturing learning environment.

The academic highs. The supportive and nurturing teachers. The sports and games which I enjoyed even though I wasn't very good. And above all, the great, great friends who have remained my friends to this day.

Went through my IB years mostly at home and was a great challenge for me. That was the not so good part but I had lots of amazing memories as house captains and dance captain!

What's new at KGV?
A massive thank you to all the families, staff, and students who joined us for the ‘Macbeth’ Exhibition hosted by our wonderful English Department!
Our campus was buzzing with incredible energy as the community came together to celebrate student creativity. From interactive digital creations on laptops to beautifully handcrafted pieces and even some brilliant edible creations, our students truly showcased a deep understanding of Shakespearean tragedy in the most innovative ways.
We recently (10th, June) held an exciting joint cross-disciplinary workshop, bringing together our Chinese Language and Arts departments to give students a fully immersive cultural and artistic experience.
Generously sponsored by the ESF Centre (ESFC), we were incredibly privileged to invite renowned modern Chinese Shanshui (landscape) masters from the prestigious Beijing Li Ke Ran Painting Academy to lead the sessions. They beautifully guided our students through the delicate techniques of Chinese brush painting while deepening their understanding of the rich culture behind the art.
The workshop was tailored for our Year 12 Art students, alongside our Year 9 double Chinese Near Native and Chinese as a Second Language classes. This hands-on experience not only enriched their language and cultural appreciation but also inspired brilliant cross-curricular thinking for their future learning. #chinesepainting #chinesedepartment #kgv_hk #esfschools #creativity
This 11th June, we were absolutely delighted to welcome the renowned Chinese sci-fi author Stanley Chan (Chen Qiufan) to KGV. Stanley delivered an incredibly inspiring keynote speech on "Technology and Future Learners" to our Year 12 Chinese language cohort. As an award-winning novelist, columnist, and president of the World Chinese Science Fiction Association, Stanley is celebrated globally for his "science fiction realism." Having previously worked for tech giants like Google China and Baidu, he frequently explores the profound relationship between human individuals and accelerated technological change in his famous works, such as Waste Tide and AI 2041.
The event was brilliantly moderated by our student hosts, Hernice Mok and Rio Matsui, who expertly guided the main discussion and smoothly transitioned into an interactive dialogue and Q&A session. A huge shoutout to our student respondents—Elle , Elaine, and Rachel —who sparked fantastic discussion with some deeply thoughtful questions.
We were also honored to host 19 students and teachers from Sha Tin College, who joined the event and contributed excellent questions to the conversation.
During the talk, Stanley shared profound insights into what it means to be a "future learner." He explored how we can remain deeply human and empathetic as technology integrates into every corner of our lives and highlighted our responsibility toward the environment and humanity as we ride this wave of technological revolution.
