Nord Anglia International School Hong Kong (NAIS Hong Kong) has announced plans to open a brand-new Sixth Form Centre in Hung Hom in August 2026, marking a significant milestone in the school's continued growth and commitment to educational excellence. The expansion represents a strategic investment in post-16 education, offering students unprecedented flexibility in their academic pathways.
The new centre will expand NAIS Hong Kong's post-16 offering to include A Levels alongside the school's established International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). This dual-pathway approach gives students greater choice to pursue the academic qualification that best aligns with their ambitions, learning preferences, and preferred university destinations—whether in the UK, US, Asia, or elsewhere.
A University-Style Learning Environment
"Our new Sixth Form Centre will provide an inspiring, university-style environment where students can thrive academically and personally," said Tim Richardson, Principal of NAIS Hong Kong. "By offering both A Levels and the IB Diploma, we're empowering every student to shape their own journey towards success."
The Hung Hom facility has been designed to reflect the independent, mature learning environment that characterises post-16 education. The centre will feature modern study spaces, collaborative learning areas, and dedicated facilities to support an engaging and self-directed learning experience. This approach mirrors the university setting that students will soon encounter, helping to ease the transition to higher education while maintaining the personalised support and guidance that characterises Nord Anglia's educational philosophy.
- Dual Qualification Offering: Choice between A Levels and IB Diploma Programme
- Modern Facilities: University-style study spaces and collaborative learning areas
- Location: Hung Hom, Hong Kong
- Opening Date: August 2026
- New Scholarship Programme: Open to current and new students
A Levels and IB: Expanding Student Choice
The decision to offer both A Levels and the IB Diploma Programme reflects a growing recognition that different students thrive under different academic structures. While the IB Diploma Programme is known for its breadth, requiring students to study six subjects alongside the Theory of Knowledge course, Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) components, A Levels allow students to specialise more deeply in three or four subjects of their choice.
For students with a clear sense of their academic strengths and university ambitions—particularly those targeting UK universities where A Levels remain the gold standard—the introduction of A Levels provides a focused, subject-specific pathway. Conversely, students seeking a more holistic, interdisciplinary education can continue to pursue the IB Diploma Programme. This flexibility ensures that every student can select the qualification that best suits their learning style, career aspirations, and preferred higher education destinations.
New Sixth Form Scholarship Programme
To celebrate the launch of the Hung Hom Sixth Form Centre, NAIS Hong Kong will also introduce a new Sixth Form Scholarship Programme, open to both current and new students. The scholarships will recognise excellence in academics, leadership, and community involvement, reflecting the school's commitment to nurturing well-rounded, globally-minded individuals.
Scholarships provide an important opportunity for families to access world-class education, while also recognising and rewarding students who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to their studies and their communities. Details of the scholarship application process and criteria will be released in the coming months, with the school inviting prospective students to register their interest.
Strategic Growth and Commitment to Excellence
The opening of the Hung Hom Sixth Form Centre is part of NAIS Hong Kong's broader strategy to meet growing demand for high-quality international education in Hong Kong. With campuses already established in Lam Tin (Primary), Kwun Tong (Secondary), and Sai Kung (Early Years), the addition of a dedicated Sixth Form Centre underscores the school's commitment to providing continuity and excellence across all stages of a student's educational journey.
As part of the Nord Anglia Education family—a global network of 80+ premium schools serving over 85,000 students worldwide—NAIS Hong Kong benefits from a wealth of resources, expertise, and international connections. This includes collaborations with world-leading institutions such as The Juilliard School, MIT, and UNICEF, offering students unique opportunities to engage with global experts and real-world challenges.
