Admission Criteria Admissions The Admissions Policy at Hong Kong Academy is consistent with our values as a community and diversity based school. We view each student as an individual and evaluate their ability to succeed in the classroom as well as our ability to enable them to reach their full potential. We expect every student and family to be contributing members of our school community. Requirements Students must be age appropriate for their grade. The birthday cut-off date for the Primary and Middle / High School is 31 August. For example: K3 class-3 years old by 31 August of enrolling year K4 class-4 years old by 31 August of enrolling year K5 class-5 years old by 31 August of enrolling year Y1 class-6 years old by 31 August of enrolling year In exceptional cases, students may be granted a place outside this age requirement if warranted by the student’s past school experience and maturity. There is space availability in their age appropriate class Students are able to function in the mainstream classroom using English language For K3 and K4, children must be fully toilet trained. Assessments results are appropriate for the space available Acceptance is not based upon the date of application. HKA has a rolling admissions policy and will accept candidates on the basis of the given requirements. Priorities Siblings are given priority over “new” applicants Diversity of nationality, ethnicity, religion, ability and gender School’s philosophy and core values are embraced by the prospective family Family Policy At Hong Kong Academy, we practice a family policy that gives priority for class places to families who will enroll all their age appropriate children at our school. This policy sustains our committment to an inclusive classroom with differing abilities as well as our community spirit. Learning Support Children who need learning support are admitted upon the same requirements as other students. They must be able to be successful in the mainstream classroom with minimal outside support services. We seek a diversity in this as well be they children who are performing beyond grade level expectations, a child with physical disabilities, etc.	See Also...
