In Brief
Nord Anglia International School Hong Kong is a premium British curriculum school founded in 2014, operating across multiple campuses with fees ranging from HK$163,000-222,500 annually. While it benefits from the global Nord Anglia network's partnerships with MIT and Juilliard, the school maintains a surprisingly low profile in Hong Kong's competitive international education discussions despite its 'excellent' ISI rating.
Established in 2014 as part of the global Nord Anglia Education network, NAIS Hong Kong operates from renovated government buildings in Lam Tin for primary and secondary students, with dedicated Early Years campuses in Sai Kung and Tai Tam. The school follows the English National Curriculum through Key Stage 3, then offers IGCSEs and the IB Diploma Programme for Years 12-13. Students benefit from Nord Anglia's unique partnerships, including STEAM collaborations with MIT, performing arts programs with The Juilliard School, and Global Campus connections linking over 50,000 students worldwide. The school received an 'excellent' rating from the Independent Schools Inspectorate in 2017, particularly praised for creativity in arts, numeracy development, and early science education.
With approximately 800 students representing 35-40 nationalities at the main Lam Tin campus, NAIS maintains class sizes capped at 24 students while charging fees that position it among Hong Kong's premium international schools. The school's facilities include a STEAM Makerspace with robotics and 3D printing, recently renovated sports facilities, and a planned Sixth Form Centre opening in Hung Hom in August 2026. Despite these advantages and the established Nord Anglia brand recognition, the school operates with minimal visibility in Hong Kong's international education forums compared to established institutions like HKIS, CIS, or ESF schools, suggesting it serves a specific demographic rather than competing broadly in the expatriate education market.
