We are extremely pleased to share some wonderful news with you regarding ICHK. In a press release on October 3rd, 2008, the Government announced its approval for ICHK's bid for vacant school premises. ICHK will be the first International Secondary School in the Northern New Territories, and is a result of a partnership between Kingston International School, Japanese International School and Hong Lok Yuen International School. The site is approximately 8105 square metres. We are very excited about these developments as it marks a significant milestone for Kingston and for the future of our students to be able to offer through train education for all our Primary graduates through both ICHK (GCSE / IBDP) and Creative Secondary School (MYP- IBDP/ HK Certificate). We will continue to keep you well informed regarding the development of ICHK and the steps involved in the application process.
