Victoria educational organisation

As a school, we value the importance of the teacher-student ratio. To further enhance teaching and learning we provide three qualified teachers for every classroom. This allows for higher quality teaching within small groups, and a greater focus on the needs of individual children. Teachers are able to develop and foster quality relationships with children, and create a stimulating, highly effective learning environment that leads to improved outcomes for students.

The campus has been a partner school of the Columbia University Teachers College Reading and Writing Project since 2014. This is an inquiry-based programme that immerses children in the world of literacy, allowing them to develop their abilities, confidence and stamina as readers and writers. The workshops with the children are collaboratively conducted by class teachers, who help the students encounter literacy and language through different genres and styles. The project has proven to be extremely successful amongst the students, who have demonstrated high levels of focus, enthusiasm, and commitment to learning.

Our school is located in the Taikoo Shing area on Hong On Street, Kornhill, and is easily accessible by all public transport. Taikoo MTR station is right on our doorstep, just a few minutes’ walk down the road. Our school is surrounded by multiple shops and restaurants. AEON, one of the large supermarkets in Hong Kong is directly across the road, and houses a carpark above. There are also many restaurants and cafes accessible for parents who want to meet up before or after school.

We value the development of positive relationships, and work collaboratively with you as parents to prepare your children to become highly successful learners. This is important to us because research shows that the students who are likely to be the most successful in life academically, socially and emotionally, are those who have a high level of parental involvement in their education. Successful entry into primary school is a very important stepping stone for students graduating from Lower Kornhill, so throughout the year, our school plans key activities in the K2 and K3 classes to prepare them for this next step in their education. We also hold a Primary One Information Evening for our parents to attend. This Information evening informs parents about the process of applying for the different primary schools, and how the school can support them with this process.

Lower Kornhill is an IB World School that promotes inquiry-based learning. We provide multiple learning and play areas for children outside of the classroom, and the activities we provide in these learning areas are all planned and well thought out by our highly-qualified teachers. These activities enhance children’s learning by encouraging them to explore, inquire and develop vital social skills.
