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.

What’s New at Kennedy School?
We are oh-so proud of our magnificent Lion and Dragon Dance troop for their energetic performance in front of the whole school community! What a fabulous example of what you can achieve through practice, practice and more practice! #esfkennedyschool #englishschoolsfoundation #chinesenewyearcelebration #studentliondragondance
We hope everyone had a fabulous time at our annual Chinese New Year Carnival! Many thanks to the parents who came to run the stalls, the PTA for refreshments and to the Chinese team for showing us how learning Chinese is fun! #esfkennedyschool #englishschoolsfoundation #chinesenewyearcarnival #learningchineseisfun
Well done to the Unicorns for a fabulous win at Sports Day 2026! Students competed and had fun together - going over obstacle courses, hitting monster balls, hopping in a sack race, playing toilet tag, racing dragons while older students competed more tradition track events like javelin, long jump and relay races. There was a carnival atmosphere as extended families came to support the children, wave flags and cheer amid perfect winter mornings. It was glorious! #esfkennedyschool #EnglishSchoolsFoundation #esfkennedyschoolsports #sportsday
Well done to the Unicorns for becoming the overall champions at our Sports Day 2026! 🎉🏆🎉 #esfkennedyschool #englishschoolsfoundation #esfkennedyschoolsports sportsday
♬𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 ♬ Over 100 students came together last Tuesday evening to deliver an amazing musical performance that had everyone tapping their toes, swaying to tunes and clapping along. There were tunes from movies, classics, traditional music and solos, played and sung by our choir, orchestra, rock band, soloists and also for the first time, our very own Chinese orchestra ensemble. We were blown away by the confidence, assuredness, and the musical ability shown by all the performers which was no doubt the result of many hours of hard work and practice. It takes a village! And boy did we exceed all expectations! Well done everyone!
𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝𝐲'𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭! Hurray for the Year 4s on a brilliant staging of Kennedy's Got Talent! The children collaborated and practiced for weeks to showcase their own passions and talents - they danced, sang, played music, performed martial arts, skits and magic tricks which had the audience in awe and also in stitches. Everyone celebrated their performances and the children grew in confidence and walked taller thereafter. #esfkennedyschool #year4show #talentshow #pyphowweexpressourselves #EnglishSchoolsFoundation #primaryyearsprogramme #primaryschoolperformance
