Ymca Christian Academy Hong Kong
Operating under the YMCA of Hong Kong's educational mission since the organization's 1901 founding, the school emphasizes Christian values and whole person development within an international curriculum framework.
In brief
YMCA Christian Academy is a small private primary school in Hong Kong, opened in 2022 and teaching around 100 pupils aged 5–11 through the International Primary Curriculum. It holds accreditation from the Council of International Schools, and principal Geoff Blaik brings more than 28 years in international education across Australia, Turkey, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Fees are HKD 144,470 a year across Years 1 to 6, with a HKD 2,000 application fee.
Parents and former pupils describe a warm, close-knit community where children feel known by their teachers and school leaders. Individual attention is the strongest theme in parent feedback: small classes, caring teachers, moral education and a family-like feel come up repeatedly.
The weaker area is facilities breadth. Parent feedback runs much warmer on care and teaching than on facilities and specialist provision in music, arts and science.
