As part of the English Schools Foundation(ESF), our students are supported by the largest English-medium international school organisation in Hong Kong, providing them the resources and opportunities not found outside of ESF Schools.
Our caring leaders and dedicated team guide our school with high standards, personalised support, and compassionate, visible leadership - creating a nurturing environment where students thrive.
At Kennedy School, we spark students' curiosity, ignite their excitement, and support their growth - academically, socially, and personally. Our dedicated team nurtures each child's potential through diverse learning experiences, celebrating their success and fostering a warm, welcoming community.
We are so proud of our close, nurturing connection with Kennedy School families. The 'Kennedy spirit' makes our school a warm, safe and special place. We are thankful to our incredible staff, dedicated parents, and hardworking PTA and School Council - who ensure each student can be the best that they can be.
Our school is nestled in the quiet Pokfulam suburb, overlooking the South China Sea. In addition to our own facilities, students have access to the expansive sports complex at Hong Kong University’s Stanley Ho Centre, which we use extensively for games, extracurricular activities, swimming, and lunchtime play.
Our teachers and educational assistants work together to provide personalised learning for our students. We take time to know and understand each child's unique identity, strengths and needs. This allows us to celebrate the diversity in our classrooms and fosters a warm, inclusive environment where every student feels valued.
Our IB PYP curriculum framework sparks inquiry, collaboration, and curiosity, developing caring, creative thinkers who use their knowledge to understand and shape the world around them.
At Kennedy School, we celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion, embracing our community's evolving needs to create learning environments where every child belongs and thrives.
We immerse our students in nature, with field trips, outdoor learning, and eco-projects that inspire environmental stewardship from an early age - nurturing a sustainable future.
Our student leaders in Year 6 help to organise initiatives and share opinions and ideas for improvement while developing invaluable leadership skills - empowering them to make a meaningful difference.
Our vibrant after-school programmes and sports teams offer over 100 diverse experiences - developing skills, nurturing talents, and fostering collaboration with other schools.
Our primary students thrive at adventure camps and cultural immersion trips, honing teamwork, personal growth, and global perspectives - unforgettable highlights of their primary school years.
Performance is central at Kennedy School - from year-level showcases to choir, band, and cultural celebrations - nurturing confidence, creativity, presentation and a lifelong love of the arts.

My favourite thing about Kennedy School is all the nice and supportive teachers who helped me get to where I am now.

Kennedy School has the power to combine learning with fun and that is not an ability every school has. I will never forget how the teachers taught me using enjoyable and efficient methods

Since I joined in Year 3, things changed and it was like learning changed. Kids ran up to me greeting me. Everyone was kind and it’s truly a great place to learn.

We feel so fortunate to be a part of this incredible school community. The school’s open communication and transparency are truly refreshing. Class teachers are so capable and their commitment to developing the whole child (academically, socially, and emotionally) is unparalleled. My child always comes home buzzing with excitement showing his latest projects. We cannot imagine sending him anywhere else!

Kennedy School has a very special community, where children love going to school and parents feel welcomed. I never have to coax my kids to school, and they always come home so happy. The staff and teachers are supportive and kind, and the IB curriculum has really worked well for both of my children. Being able to use Stanley Ho grounds across the road for swimming, sports, and extra space is an added bonus!

Kennedy ESF is a very nurturing school that focuses not only on the children's academic achievements but also on supporting each child's emotional development and personal circumstances. The teachers create a warm and fun environment for the kids to achieve their goals at their own pace. The school also provides a diverse range of opportunities like inquiry play and field trips for the children to understand the broader world they live in.

On Monday, we hosted the #HKPSSA Tag Rugby Championships here at HKU Sandy Bay. This was a huge tournament for our boys and girls with 19 schools participating in this event. We are very proud of both our boys and girls teams as they showed real courage throughout the day. From the group stages, our boys qualified through to the knockout stages by defeating ESF Quarry Bay School and ESF Renaissance College Hong Kong with a draw against @Harrow International School Hong Kong , eventually losing against Clearwater Bay School. Our girls team also recorded victories over Kowloon Junior School and ESF Beacon Hill School and a draw against ESF Bradbury School with close games also against Clearwater Bay and Discovery Bay International School. In warm conditions our students persevered and showed great team spirit and determination. Thank you to Mr Kruger and Mr Bogaerde for your efforts in training the boys and girls this term. Well done Kennedy rugby players! #esfkennedyschool #esfkennedyschoolsports #tagrugby

Year 5 students have been working very hard these few weeks to set up businesses and make phototypes to woo parent 'investors' today. The objective was to develop a business that fulfills a need in school. These entrepreneurs presented their case in the hall this morning before proceeding to classrooms where the real business of wooing investors took place. Which business do you think obtained the most funding? Was it the Strength Sleeve. The Culture Cracker, Sketches and Scores or Basketball Co? We will find out soon!
Kennedy School took over El Charro Cyberport for our Annual PTA Quiz Night - where parents, friends and staff got together for an evening of laughter and learning. There were questions for everyone covering sports, music, movies, horses and more! Congratulations to Team “Does this Count as Date Night?” on their comeback win, and thank you to our amazing MCs, Mr Rudi Dray and Mr Matt King for hosting this fabulous evening!
Over the course of the year, we hold community action assemblies and invite staff and parents to share actions that they take or have taken to make our world a better place. This week, we heard about volunteer firefighting, yoga for peace, making hearing loss inclusive among others. Students loved the sharing which often sparks discussions in class about how we can take action on our learning. Many thanks to the parents who came to talk to our students!
