Our school name is aspirational and evokes the idea of strong academics and our deliberately small class sizes reflect the practice of Oxbridge colleges to teach in small groups to personalise and enhance learning. We are open to students of all abilities who are willing to learn and do their very best.
Yes! A weekly newsletter is sent to parents during term time to keep families informed of student achievements, activities, and events at the school.
Our class sizes are deliberately small of around 15 students – meaning that we can significantly personalise individual learning and markedly enhance your child’s academic progress.
Our main campus and secondary campus are both ideally situated on San Wai Street in Hung Hom and easily accessible from all areas of Hong Kong. These MTR stations are close: Whampoa, Ho Man Tin (Kwun Tong Line) Hung Hom (East Rail Line), and the newly opened To Kwa Wan (Tuen Ma Line) and we are within easy walking distance of the Hung Hom Ferry Pier. Regular bus services to TST Star Ferry and elsewhere pass close by the campus.
Our well- established team of dedicated teachers are trained in and experienced in teaching the National Curriculum of England and Wales. We have an average of 20+ years of teacher experience at our school! We recruit well-qualified and committed teachers who build a wonderful relationship with our students. Our Chinese teachers come from Mainland China or Hong Kong and are native speakers.
We have good global links, in particular with the UK, and each summer students at Oxbridge will travel to our partner school in the UK where they will attend lessons and stay in boarding school accommodation to experience life in a leading UK school and will also have a cultural tour of the UK visiting famous landmarks and sights. After the COVID pandemic, our first tour,in 2023, to Bromsgrove School (one of the top schools in the UK) was a great success and in the Summer of 2024 we will be returning. We also have an annual exchange with our partner school, St. Andrews in Bangkok, Thailand and our first exchange, in November 2023, was very much enjoyed by all the students and staff of both schools.
We are an English medium school. Our bespoke curriculum is built upon the highly respected National Curriculum of England and Wales, further enhanced, and with Chinese taught in a similar time allocation as English and Mathematics.
Yes. We believe language development is critical in the early years. As a British curriculum school, our lessons are taught in the English language, but all classes study Chinese and receive lessons each week, blending Chinese language and culture. We teach Chinese in either simplified or traditional forms in our Primary School, depending on students' aptitude and prior experience. In our Secondary School, we area aiming forChinese GCSE and A level, so focus on the simplified form only.
