(ESF) Peak School

International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme

ESF has a framework, ESF Levels of Adjustment (LOA), for identifying and documenting the adjustments and accommodations for students who require support for learning.
We use LOA 1 to 6 to describe the amount and type of support a student requires in order to access the curriculum. All ESF schools have at least LOA 2 support.

ESF has a Financial Assistance Scheme for families who experience financial hardship due to a sudden and unexpected change in circumstances. Financial assistance is not normally granted in the first year of admission. Information and application forms for the scheme are available from the ESF Centre.

Overseas passport holders will receive priority over local passport holders. ESF also offers priority to the children of parents holding the "Top Talent pass" for employment in HKSAR, please refer to the Admission Priority stated below.

ESF Peak School provides the perfect learning environment for our students to be the best that they can be. Our teachers get to know each and every student under their care. We know that every child is unique, and we work hard to support your child in developing their own skills, passions and dreams, with our personalised learning programmes and focused individual support.

Our students are kind, happy, engaged, and always learning through our International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP). Based on learning through playful inquiry, this is the perfect preparation for primary students to continue on with the IB curriculum at their ESF secondary school. Parents are our essential partners, because no one knows your child better than you. We would love to meet you and tell you about the many things that set us apart, making our school the ideal home for your child’s primary school years.
