Vision

Kendall International Preschool is a learning community where children actively reach across borders and cultures to seek both the universality of our common paths as well as explore and embrace the unique nuances of passion that each child brings. Traveling a global journey of self-discovery, converges and blends the power of world communities while deeply respecting the value and cultural norms of our own neighborhoods. This unique blend of academic and worldly understanding equips our students with perspective, poise and the confidence to find their personal voice of agency.

ENVIRONMENT

CAMPUS DESIGN

There is no question that the quality of a child’s education is powerfully influenced by their learning environment. We at Kendall International Preschool have taken references from some of the best kindergarten designs over the world and engaged a dynamic and creative team of architects and artists to help us design a one-of-a-kind campus.

We have created a learning environment where classrooms and open areas seamlessly converge allowing students to move from a structured environment into a larger free-flowing open space. The unique five metre ceiling of the premises also provides greater flexibility for creative use of the campus both horizontally and vertically,

Grounded in the concept of community, the facilities warmly encourage interdisciplinary and interclass interaction where personal and structured learning can truly come together.

CAMPUS LOCATIONS

Our West Kowloon campus is located in Cheung Sha Wan (one minute from Exit A2 of Cheung Sha Wan MTR station) allowing easy access from all areas of Hong Kong. We are honoured to be in a neighborhood surrounded by several quality primary schools in the area.
