Learning Habitat began modestly in 2000 with one campus and just 4 students. We’ve since grown to eight campuses across Hong Kong providing high quality bilingual education to over 3200 students every year. Our balanced curriculum, passionate teachers and strong parent network have enabled our students to learn happily while achieving outstanding placements in competitive primary schools. These powerful partnerships are what allow us to continually exceed our community’s expectations.
Looking ahead, we aim to evolve our growing campus network into an early childhood ecosystem that fosters thriving children and families. One important aspect will be the introduction of appropriate educational technology that helps us to refine and share our best teaching practices. Beyond improved language fluency in Chinese and English, the result will be a more impactful learning experience for children that incorporates 21st century skills such as self awareness and relationship building.
