01Taught in Sydney’s evening, not overnight
Sydney runs two to three hours ahead of Hong Kong, so an after-school Hong Kong class lands in the Sydney evening and weekend groups sit comfortably in the day. Nina, one of our teachers, is based in Melbourne and keeps Australian hours.
02Writing, speaking, thinking
Writing like a scholar, speaking like a leader, thinking independently. Eight of our secondary entrants reached the John Locke Institute Global Essay Prize shortlist, roughly double the rate across more than a hundred thousand entries worldwide, and others went from never volunteering an answer to the TED-Ed Student Talks stage.
03Peers your child would never otherwise meet
A Sydney student argues the same motion as classmates in Hong Kong, Singapore, London and Shanghai, and has to answer them. Our students already include children at Abbotsleigh, and that international room is the part they remember.
Questions from Sydney parents
When do classes run for Sydney students?+
Sydney is two to three hours ahead of Hong Kong depending on daylight saving, so our after-school Hong Kong classes fall in the Sydney evening, and weekend groups sit comfortably in the day. Your child’s exact group is set after the interview.
Is this selective-school or HSC preparation?+
No. This is closer to a university tutorial: writing, discussion and public speaking, taught so a child can think for themselves. Results tend to follow, but if drilling past papers is what you want, we will say honestly that we are not it.
Do you teach Australian students already?+
Yes. Our students come from schools including Abbotsleigh in Sydney, alongside families in Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing and beyond.
How do we start?+
