ESF Kowloon Junior School
KJS is a student centred, welcoming and community minded school. Our vision of ‘Success for Every Child’ is embodied throughout everything we do. We are proud to guide each and every student to achieve his or her very best.
The school follows the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP). This student centred approach to teaching and learning ensures our children gain the attributes and attitudes to develop as confident critical thinkers, effective communicators and socially responsible global citizens.
At KJS we not only focus on academic achievement but also on the wider learning of Performing Arts, Sport and Languages all underpinned by a strong focus on student and staff wellbeing.
Community is key at KJS. Building strong relationships with our pupils, staff and families is at the heart of everything we do. The ambitious and energetic members of the PTA and School Council provide further support and challenge.
As a member school of the English Schools Foundation (ESF) we ensure that through collaboration and support we can draw on the collective wisdom of a learning community that is at the forefront of educational research and development. This enables KJS, like all ESF schools, to follow their vision that supports students to be ‘the best that they can be’.
Visits to the school are welcome and encouraged. I strongly advise you to take the time to come and find out more about the inspiring staff and students, our curriculum and the further opportunities we provide for all. We look forward to meeting you soon.

We recognise that Chinese is the second language of our school and the language of our host country. We are committed to children achieving a high competence in Chinese. Throughout their schooling, children are provided with learning opportunities appropriate to their level of ability and background in learning Chinese. Following the ESF wide outcome-based multi-pathway curriculum, our children are catered for in different groups and pathways. The three language Strands (Oral, Visual and Written) are taught through purposeful and engaging activities. Year 1 children have three 45-minute lessons per week; Year 2 children have four 45-minute lessons: Years 3 to 6 have daily lessons. As the children progress through the programme, they learn to communicate and interact in Chinese in a natural and unrehearsed manner with their teachers, classmates and the wider community. Chinese language learning is further facilitated through the contribution of the Chinese teachers to the Programme of Inquiry. All teachers of Chinese will contribute to team teaching to promote learning through the language, professional collaboration, curriculum continuity and articulation. Children studying Chinese take an active role in their language learning. Since their participation is an integral part of each class, the children naturally take ownership of this language, which they are then able to use. Opportunities are provided so that students may enhance the communication and social skills, which are essential in their daily lives.
