In Brief
The Jockey Club Sarah Roe School is Hong Kong's specialized ESF institution serving students aged 5-19 with special educational needs, offering individualized support and alternative qualifications through ASDAN and AQA pathways. Operating since 1967 in Ho Man Tin, it provides dedicated SEN education within the established ESF network, though with limited public information about specific outcomes or facilities.
As part of the English Schools Foundation network, JCSRS operates with the backing of Hong Kong's oldest international school group while maintaining a specialized focus on students requiring additional learning support. The school delivers individualized curricula tailored to each student's needs, with secondary students working toward ASDAN and AQA unit accreditations rather than traditional GCSE or IB pathways. Located in Ho Man Tin, Kowloon, the campus serves families seeking English-medium special education within an established international framework.
The school's positioning within the ESF system provides access to the foundation's resources and expertise while maintaining specialized facilities and approaches for students with diverse learning needs. Annual fees starting from HK$139,000 reflect the intensive support model and small class sizes typical of special education provision. Recent recruitment for specialized roles like occupational therapists indicates ongoing investment in therapeutic support services alongside academic programming.
