Kellett School Focuses on Resilience
Kellett School in Hong Kong is prioritising resilience and critical thinking over exam performance, offering a bespoke wellbeing curriculum, a diverse international student body, Mandarin instruction, and a new Sixth Form Centre. Parents are invited to an Open Evening on 24 September 2026 to learn more.
Kellett School focuses on resilience, not just exam skills.
Parents in Hong Kong often worry that high grades alone will not prepare their children for real-world challenges. They ask whether their children can cope with stress, think independently, and thrive beyond the classroom. Kellett School is responding directly to these concerns with a comprehensive approach that blends curriculum, wellbeing, and environment.
Wellbeing Curriculum
Kellett’s “Positively Kellett” programme is a weekly, year-by-year curriculum that draws on the positive education model pioneered by Geelong Grammar. The lessons cover philosophy, rights and responsibilities, and real-world debate, aiming to build emotional skills such as resilience, self-awareness and critical thinking. Parents can review the school’s stats to see how the curriculum is structured across the year groups.
Global Citizenship and Language
The school’s student body comes from more than 45 countries, giving everyday life a truly international flavour. The modified English National Curriculum runs from EYFS in Reception to A Levels in Sixth Form. Mandarin is compulsory from Reception to Year 9 and is offered as an option at IGCSE and A Levels, embedding cultural fluency early on. The school’s fixtures show the timetable for Mandarin lessons.
Learning Spaces
Physical environment is a key part of Kellett’s strategy. The Sixth Form Centre, launched in August 2026, covers 40,000 sq ft at The Bay Hub on Kai Cheung Road. Designed as a transition space between secondary school and university life, it houses over a dozen classrooms, a small lecture theatre, exam rooms and study areas. The campus is award-winning, and the new centre is a tangible example of how space can support learning and wellbeing.
Open Evening
Kellett School invites parents to an Open Evening on Thursday, 24 September 2026, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at its Kowloon Bay Campus. Attendees will tour the award-winning campus, including the Sixth Form Centre, hear from the Senior Leadership Team, meet current students and teachers, and connect with the Admissions Team to learn how to navigate the application process. The event will also provide a chance to ask questions about the school’s approach to resilience and critical thinking.
The Kowloon Bay Campus is located at 7 Lam Hing Street, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong. Contact the school at 3120 0700 or visit www.kellettschool.com. Follow the school on Instagram at @kellettschool for updates.
