History
Kiangsu & Chekiang Primary School was founded in 1953 by Kiangsu and Chekiang Residents Association. Proposed by P.Y. Chow, the Supervisor, its International Section first opened in September 1993. The school was one of the first in Hong Kong to offer an English-medium curriculum coupled with a daily lesson in Mandarin for all students aged 3 to 11. This allowed the school to serve more students in the Hong Kong area. Due to the high demand for schools, a new extension in Braemar Hill, North Point was established in September 2002.This extension, branching from Kiangsu and Chekiang Primary School, was known as the Upper School Campus. It used part of the Kiangsu-Chekiang College campus on Braemar Hill for the upper Primary classes and International Secondary section.
The number of students in the school can range from 300 to 400, depending on the number of classes in each grade from year 7 to 13. From years 7 to 9, students take the Key Stage 3 program; from years 10 to 11, they take the IGCSE program; and in years 12 to 13, they take the IB Diploma/IB Certificate.
