ESF links kindergartens to primary schools, securing places through to graduation

The English Schools Foundation (ESF), Hong Kong's largest international school group, has introduced a "through-train" system linking its kindergartens directly to its primary schools. This arrangement, effective from September next year, guarantees pupils a place from kindergarten through to secondary graduation. For the first time, all ESF kindergartens will be directly connected to ESF primary schools. Families applying for a K1 place for the 2027-28 school year this September will receive a guaranteed spot for their child at one of these linked primary schools.
