Thank you for your interest in applying to Australian International School Hong Kong. AISHK is an inclusive, multi-cultural, non-denominational school and we warmly welcome your application. Our school teaches the Australian curriculum and follows the Australian academic year from January to December.
Our school calendar can be found here.
At AISHK, we offer education to students from Reception (from age 4) to Year 12 (final year of school). From Year 11 students have the option to study either the Higher School Certificate (HSC) or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.
AISHK welcomes applications for Reception to Year 10 all year-round.
Year 11 applications should preferrably be submitted by 1 July the year prior to expected enrolment. Applications are generally not accepted after Term 1 and Year 12 applications are not accepted under normal circumstances. Please contact the Admissions Office directly if you have an enquiry regarding a Year 11 or Year 12 application.
AISHK accepts applications two years in advance prior to the expected year of entrance. For example, if your child is age appropriate for our Reception class in 2027, you may submit an application as early as January 2025.
AISHK admits students who, in line with our admissions process and requirements, are eligible and able to access and meet the curriculum offered.
AISHK accepts applications of any passport nationality. Priority application is provided to siblings of current students, and Australian or New Zealand passport holders.
Admissions waitlists are accorded by date. The earlier the application, the higher the place on our waitlist.
For Reception and Preparatory students (both intake years) we also take into account gender equity and student diversity as it is important to have a balance in each class.
As part of the application process, your child “may” require attending an AEAS (Australian Education Assessment Services) test if English is not their first language. The AEAS test is a standardised English Language Proficiency test that our school has adopted for students applying to our Upper Primary and Secondary school. Please contact our Admissions team for more information on the AEAS test.
AISHK has two student intakes each year pending vacancies.
Term 1 (Semester 1) at the commencement of the academic year in January.
For students to be considered for Term 1 intake, we recommend submitting applications by 1 August the year prior to commencement.
Admissions assessments for Term 1 entry are conducted from August to October each year pending vacancies.
Term 3 (Semester 2) in late July.
For students to be considered for Term 3 intake, we recommend submitting applications by 1 February the year they are wanting to commence.
Admissions assessments for Term 3 entry are conducted from March to May each year pending vacancies.
