Curriculum and academics
Shrewsbury follows the British curriculum, beginning with the Early Years Foundation Stage for the youngest children and moving into Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 across the primary years. Lessons are taught in English, with specialist provision in areas such as music, sport, the arts and Mandarin, in the pattern parents expect from a well resourced English style primary.
The school emphasises the pastoral and wider development that the Shrewsbury name is known for, alongside academic foundations in literacy and numeracy. For how the English National Curriculum is structured, how the early years lead into Key Stages, and how this route compares with the IB, see our British curriculum guide and our IB curriculum guide. Ask the school directly about provision for older year groups, since age range can change as a school matures.

Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong fees
Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong sits in the premium band for Hong Kong primary schools. Tuition is reviewed each year and any rise is subject to the school approval process, so confirm the current schedule before you budget. We do not publish a precise figure here unless the school does, to keep this page accurate.
Beyond tuition, plan for the line items that come with a premium Hong Kong place. These usually include a one off registration or application charge, a refundable deposit, and a school bus fee where you use it. Many premium schools in the territory also operate capital certificates or debentures that bring priority in admissions and carry a separate cost. Our Hong Kong international school fees guide shows how primary tuition and these levies compare across the city.
Admissions
The school year starts in late August. The main entry point is in the early years, with occasional places higher up the primary school as families move in and out of the territory. Applications are made directly to the school, and assessment for the youngest children is usually a gentle play based session rather than a formal test.
Because demand for premium primary places in eastern Hong Kong is strong, registering interest early helps. Confirm the current application window, the documents required and any sibling or certificate priority with the admissions office, and arrange a visit so your child can see the campus.
Location and who goes there
The campus is in Tseung Kwan O, a planned new town in the east that has grown quickly into a family district. The Tseung Kwan O MTR line connects it to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, which suits working parents commuting across the harbour. To explore the wider Hong Kong market and other districts, start with the Hong Kong city hub.
The community reflects the British, other European, Australian and local families who choose an English style primary in the east of the territory, many of them drawn to Tseung Kwan O for its newer housing and green space. For these families a Shrewsbury place is often one of the reasons they settle on that side of the city.
