Parents

You may have heard that ESF will be opening a new Kindergarten in the Kornhill area of Hong Kong in August 2026. The new school will be directly linked to ESF Quarry Bay School and will offer students - who can access a mainstream education - a guaranteed place there in Y1.

I am aware that for some of you, a Y1 place for your child in Quarry Bay School may be an attractive option for your family. Accessing this, though, would mean your child leaving our kindergarten at the end of K1 and enroling in the new facility in Kornhill for K2.

With that in mind, ESF is hosting a seminar for interested parents on September 23 at 19:00hrs. This will be a chance for you to find out about the new school - which will be called ESF Quarry Bay School Kindergarten - and understand how you go about applying for a place.

You are a valued member of our school community and we hope that your child loves being here as much as we do having them. However, we know that securing the right Y1 place for your child is something that you care deeply about, so we want to make sure that you are aware of all the options that are open to you.

To register for the seminar, please click here.

Kind Regards,

Abacus Admin Team

If you have already paid the fee, please accept our thanks and disregard this reminder. For details, please click here to view the letter.

The advance fees for K2 students in the next academic year (2025/26) are HK$9,370 or HK$10,890 for children in the bilingual class.

Confirmation of School Place and Advance Fees for 2025/26 - ESF Abacus International Kindergarten

Dear Parents

As we approach the end of the school year, we are writing to let you know the procedure to confirm your child’s place for 2025/26. If you will be withdrawing your child and have submitted the Withdrawal Notice to your school, please ignore this letter.

Every year, parents need to reserve a school place for their child for the following year by making an advance payment of September’s fees as a surety.

Advance Payment

The advance fees for K2 students in the next academic year 2025/26 are HK$9,370 or HK$10,890 for children in the bilingual class. These advance fees will be used to offset the tuition fees for September 2025. If there is a revision of fees in the next academic year, the difference will be payable in September 2025.

Please note that your child’s school place will not be confirmed if we do not receive your advance fees before the payment due date or if there are any outstanding tuition fees on the account without prior arrangement at the beginning of the next academic year.

Settlement

The advance payment will be debited from your designated bank account on 1 August 2025. Please ensure that there are sufficient funds in the account.

If you have not set up the direct debit authorisation yet, please complete the Direct Debit Authorisation Form and send it back to ESF Centre, G.P.O. Box 11284, Hong Kong by 1 June 2025 as it may take up to six weeks for the bank to process the direct debit.

If your monthly tuition fees are being settled by your employer directly, please make the payment by cheque on or before 15 July 2025:

1. Click here to download and complete the Cheque Payment Slip;
2. Send the cheque payment slip together with a crossed cheque made payable to “The ESF Educational Services Ltd” to “G.P.O. Box 11284, Hong Kong” on or before 15 July 2025. Post-dated cheques are not accepted.

 Student Withdrawals

If you are withdrawing your child at the end of this academic year, please submit the student withdrawal notice via the ESF App by 1 June 2025. Otherwise, we will assume that your child is returning after summer and parents are liable for the tuition fees for September 2025 even if the student does not return to school.

Should you have any queries regarding the above, please contact our Billing Team at billing@esfcentre.edu.hk

We would like to thank you for your cooperation on this matter, and we wish your child every success in 2025/26.

Yours sincerely
