Student life at Small World
Creating an environment where students can learn, develop, and thrive.
August-June (three terms)
Our school calendar is aligned with Generations Christian Education schools and other international schools in Hong Kong.
Morning Session – 9AM-12PM
Afternoon Session – 1PM-4PM
At Small World, children attend either Junior Kindergarten (K1) or Senior Kindergarten (K2) classes according to age, so that each child receives developmentally appropriate learning experiences that best support and enhance his or her growth.
Each class has 2 qualified Early Years classroom teachers at all times, with learning assistants offering additional support as needed.
Our school buses are operated by a private bus company, which runs multiple routes to cover a wide area of Hong Kong Island. The buses are fitted with seat belts, and bus mothers along with drivers take great care of children while on the road.
Small World Christian Kindergarten is housed in a historic Victorian brick complex, formerly a British military hospital, now renovated and adapted for school use. The building, located in the Mid-Levels District of Hong Kong Island, is surrounded by large, shady old trees and large outdoor playground space.
Unstructured outdoor play is part of our children’s daily lives. Small World children learn to seek out exercise, explore their creativity and appreciate the beauty of nature in our enclosed, leafy playground. The outdoors is also incorporated into teaching time: children learn about the growing cycle as they plant seeds and watch them sprout.
