1. Under the kindergarten education scheme (Scheme), each child who can receive education in Hong Kong will only be issued a registration document and all Scheme-KGs can only admit children holding valid registration documents, i.e.“Registration Certificate for Kindergarten Admission” (hereafter referred to as “RC”) or “Kindergarten Admission Pass” (hereafter referred to as “AP”). In line with the Government’s policy objective of digitalisation of public services, EDB plans to introduce the electronic “Registration Certificate for Kindergarten Admission” (“e-RC”) in the second quarter of 2025. Each e-RC would contain an encrypted QR code. When parents are registering with the KGs, KG staff would only need to scan the QR code on the e-RC and the registration process will be completed automatically. Hence, KGs would no longer need to collect and keep the RC of their students. Upon completion of the registration process, relevant personal information of the student will be uploaded onto EDB’s system automatically.

2. Parents are required to submit RC applications to EDB from September to November 2025. Upon receipt of the applications with all necessary information and documents provided, it generally takes six to eight weeks for EDB to complete processing of the applications. Depending on the method of submission of application form (including completing and submitting e-application via EDB’s website, applying through “iAM SMART” mobile app, mailing the application form by post and submitting the application form in person), EDB would issue the RC by different methods to applicants who are eligible for subsidy under the Scheme. If a child can receive education in Hong Kong but cannot obtain an RC because he/she is not eligible for subsidy under the Scheme1, EDB will issue an AP to the child concerned for registration to a Scheme-KG, but the parents concerned are required to pay full school fees (i.e. before deduction of subsidy under the Scheme) as shown on the Fees Certificate of the KG admitting the child.

¹ Upon obtaining permission from the Director of Immigration, non-local children (such as children holding a form of recognizance, children whose parent(s) is/are holding a student visa, etc.) can receive education in Hong Kong but they are not eligible for subsidy under the Scheme.

1. Successful applicants: Parents should complete the registration procedures for their child from 8^th to 10^th January 2026 (“Centralised Registration Dates”) by submitting the “RC” / “AP” to the school and paying the registration fee.

2. Unsuccessful applicants: Your child will be placed on our waiting list automatically. Parents will be informed by phone if there is a vacancy. If parents accept our offer, please register at our school in person by submitting the “RC” / “AP” and paying the registration fee.

3. Please be reminded that if parents cannot submit the “RC” / “AP” during registration, the school may not be able to complete registration for their child. Hence, parents are required to submit application for the registration document to EDB within the specified period.

4. The registration fee for 2026/27 half day class is HK$970 and whole day class is $1570. If the child concerned studies in the school, the registration fee paid will be refunded in September. Should parents decide to change school after registration, please notify the school in writing. The school will return the “RC” / “AP” as soon as possible but the registration fee will not be refunded. Upon obtaining the “RC” / “AP”, the school will no longer keep the school place for the child.

1. When interviewing NCS children and parents, interpretation and / or translation services will be provided. If required, please notify our school in advance.
