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?
Year 6 students had a blast at The Great Wall of China at Mutianyu today! The weather was glorious as we sat together for a group photo of the whole contingent of 105 students and 17 staff!
The Year 6s are on their way to Beijing for their Study Trip. Work hard, Year 6!!💪💪💪
Last week, we held our second Celebration of Learning of the year, where we took a day out of the school year to celebrate student learning. Parents came to school with their children to meet their child's class teacher and discuss their learning. The children then took their family around the school to show them their favourite places and experience how their child learns math, literacy, chinese, expressive arts and PE. There was even a book sale and a PTA stall for refreshments and pre-loved uniforms. there was a carnival feel to the day and everyone learned something new. Bravo everyone!
The Y3s were visited by Dana Winograd from Plastic Free Seas, who came to talk about our unit of inquiry into Sharing the Planet. Dana gave us a lot of information about what is happening in Hong Kong right now, and ways we can help look after our local community and take small actions to make a difference. This really helped the students think creatively about what we can do to reduce waste in our lives and they had great ideas and asked thoughtful questions. Dana is a regular visitor to our school and you can find more about her at https://www.plasticfreeseas.org/
On Monday 10 March, 15 international schools gathered at HKU Stanley Ho Sports Centre in Pokfulam for the annual HKPSSA Tag Rugby Championships.

Many thanks to the following schools for making this such a highlight in the sporting calendar - ESF Bradbury School, ESF Beacon Hill School, Chinese International School 漢基國際學校, Australian International School Hong Kong, ESF Glenealy School, Kowloon Junior School,Kellett School, Discovery Bay International School, ESF Renaissance College Hong Kong, Peak School Hong Kong, Harrow International School Hong Kong, ESF Sha Tin Junior School and ESF Kennedy School. Great job everyone!
On a bright and sunny Monday morning, Kennedy School hosted the annual HKPSSA Tag Rugby tournament on the fields of the #hkustanleyhosportcentre.15 international schools from all over Hong Kong came together to participate in separate tournaments for boys and girls. Throughout the morning, Kennedy School's boys and girls' teams worked well together, showed a good level of maturity and were undefeated throughout the competition! We won! Special thanks to Mr Bogaerde (Boys team coach) and Mr Kruger (Girls team coach) for inspiring our teams to victory. Well Done Kennedy!!! #esfkennedyschool #EnglishSchoolsFoundation #kennedyschoolsports #esfkennedyschoolsports #tagrugbyhk
The Year 3s went on their first day camp experience at the HK Jockey Club PHAB Camp yesterday and today. While it poured outside, the children had a ball indoors with ping pong, archery and frisbee. When it was dry, they built rafts with bamboo and rope and tested them in the pool. They had a wonderful time! This was a gentle introduction to camping and great preparation for Year 4 camp next year. Well done Year 3!
After many months of hard work, we are happy to present our refreshed Kennedy School website! Please Take a few moments to explore and discover how we nurture and inspire students at https://kennedy.esf.edu.hk/
