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.
Interview and Assessment
Priority for an interview or assessment will be based on the following ranked criteria:
* Staff are given priority according to employment terms for ESF or the Private Independent Schools.
# National-level athletes and athletes sponsored by the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI) as an elite athlete.
In line with the Hong Kong Education Bureau (EDB) requirements:
