Anfield International Kindergarten is an early years provider in Hong Kong, focused on the years before children move into primary school. It opened its Kowloon Tong campus in 2000 and has since grown to run more than one site, teaching young children through the Early Years Foundation Stage, the British early years framework. As a kindergarten rather than an all through school, it is a stepping stone into the city's primary schools rather than a destination to age eighteen.

Curriculum and academics
Anfield follows the Early Years Foundation Stage, the framework used in England for children up to the start of formal schooling. Learning is thematic and play based, with the aim of building spoken language, vocabulary, early literacy and numeracy, and the social confidence that helps children settle into a primary school. Because the setting is English medium, it is a common choice for families who want their child ready for an English language primary place.
For parents thinking past the kindergarten years, the EYFS leads naturally into the British curriculum primary stage, though Anfield graduates go on to a range of British, IB and other primary schools across the city. Our British curriculum guide explains how the early years framework connects to Key Stages, the national curriculum and later qualifications, which helps when you are planning the whole journey rather than just the first step.

Anfield International Kindergarten fees
Anfield sets its fees by programme and by how many sessions a week a child attends, so the total depends on whether you choose half day or full day places and which campus you join. As a kindergarten, its tuition sits well below the city's full international schools, which is part of the appeal for families in the early years. We do not publish a precise figure here because rates change and vary by programme, so ask the school for the current schedule.
Some Hong Kong kindergarten places are eligible for government subsidy schemes, which can reduce the net cost, though eligibility depends on the programme and the family's circumstances. To understand how early years costs fit into the bigger picture of schooling in the city, see our Hong Kong international school fees guide and our guide to international kindergartens in Hong Kong.
Admissions
Anfield admits children through the year for its early years classes, with availability depending on age group and campus, and younger children can start in the parent and child sessions before moving into a class place. There is no academic selection at this stage. The school looks instead at age and readiness, and popular intakes can fill, so registering interest early is worthwhile.
Visiting the campus matters more than usual in the early years, since the feel of the rooms, the staff and the daily routine tells you most of what you need to know. Confirm the current intake months, session options and any waitlist position directly with the school before you decide.
Location and who goes there
Anfield runs campuses in Kowloon Tong and Whampoa, both established central Kowloon districts. Kowloon Tong is a quieter, school heavy neighbourhood well connected by the MTR, while Whampoa is a denser residential area in Hung Hom with its own strong family community. Both draw a mix of local and international families looking for an English medium start close to home.
Because the early years are so local, most families choose the campus nearest them rather than commuting across the city. To see how Anfield fits alongside the primary and all through options families move on to, start with the Hong Kong city hub and our guide to international kindergartens in Hong Kong.
Anfield International Kindergarten reviews
We do not yet hold verified parent reviews for Anfield International Kindergarten. GlobalSchoolGuide is independent and no school pays to be listed, so we publish a rating only once we can confirm reviews come from real families. We would rather show nothing than show an invented score.
If your child attends or has attended Anfield, we would value your first hand account of the teaching, the settling in support and value for money. Share it through our school reviews hub and help the next relocating family decide with better information.
