YMCA Christian Academy
Starting from the 2024-25 academic year, YMCA Christian Academy will be offering a new Year 7 programme for children aged 11-12. This programme offers specialised preparations for Middle School skill sets and mindsets and is suitable for students who prefer a small school, close-knit community environment, small class size and individualised learning. It will benefit students who require an additional year in a smaller school before moving on to a secondary school and students who are transitioning from local school to international school. For students who require additional support, they will receive coaching focused on transdisciplinary skills, including self-directed learning skills, executive functioning skills, load management and learning barrier management. These skills aim to prepare students to manage the new expectations and stress when they move to secondary school. For more details, please check their website.
English Schools Foundation
While these are an extraordinary set of results, today we’re celebrating those eight students who achieved the near impossible, and got that perfect score of 45. But you know, in every single one of our schools and every single one of our classrooms, what we have seen as students achieving amazing things.
Our results are just remarkable, not just here in Hong Kong, but they’re really of global significance. Because the average score that we’ve got across ESF is way above the global average. And honestly, today is a day to just be incredibly proud of these young men and women and the results that they’ve achieved.
