Yes, the school offers a bus/coach service. It covers Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, and includes a shuttle route between the Lam Tin Primary Campus and the Secondary Campus in Kwun Tong.

The Primary Campus follows the English National Curriculum, structured across Key Stage 1 (Years 1–2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3–6). Core learning focuses on developing skills in English and mathematics, alongside science, history, geography, art, music, design technology, ICT, and physical education. Students learn Mandarin from the earliest years, with French introduced in Year 5 and Spanish in Year 6. Specialist teachers deliver subjects such as art, music, drama, PE, and Mandarin to ensure subject depth and engagement. The curriculum adopts a topic-based, thematic approach in Key Stage 2, encouraging inquiry, independence, and personal responsibility for learning. The campus also provides extracurricular opportunities and modern learning facilities that complement the academic programme and promote a well-rounded educational experience.

The school integrates social and emotional learning within its Personal, Social, Health, and Citizenship Education (PSHCE) curriculum in the Primary years. Lessons include topics such as respect, teamwork, empathy, and emotional awareness, encouraging students to develop positive relationships and personal responsibility. Teachers and pastoral staff monitor students’ well-being as part of everyday classroom practice. The Primary Campus also organises community and charity events to foster collaboration and social growth. The school does not publicly list additional structured SEL programmes beyond the PSHCE curriculum.

Nord Anglia International School Hong Kong operates an Additional Support Needs (ASN) Policy, which outlines provision for students requiring learning or behavioural support. A Head of Learning Support oversees the identification and coordination of SEN and ASN provision across the school. Admission for students with additional needs is reviewed to ensure the school can provide appropriate support before placement is confirmed. Support may include differentiated instruction, in-class assistance, and individual learning plans. The school is not a specialist SEN institution but aims to support a wide range of mild to moderate learning needs within mainstream classrooms.

The school provides support for students whose first language is not English through its EAL programme, which is coordinated by qualified EAL teachers. The aim is to help students access the full curriculum by improving their English language proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Support may take place through small-group lessons or in-class assistance, depending on the child’s needs. The programme is integrated into classroom learning, allowing students to develop language skills in academic and social contexts. The school does not disclose the exact staffing or frequency of EAL sessions.

Pastoral care and wellbeing are embedded in daily life at the Primary Campus. Teachers and pastoral leaders provide guidance and support for students’ emotional development through classroom routines and PSHCE lessons. The school fosters a supportive environment through open communication between teachers, students, and families. Community events and team-based learning activities help build confidence and connection among pupils. The school does not publicly detail any specific counselling or mental health programmes.

Safeguarding responsibilities are overseen by designated safeguarding leads across campuses. The policy is regularly reviewed to ensure the safety and well-being of all students.
