Redefining Learning with Innovation

Enhancing Talent Attraction and Innovation Through World-Class Education

Hong Kong – March 20, 2025

Stamford American School Hong Kong (Stamford) is delighted to announce the expansion of its world-class educational offerings with the launch of a proposed second campus in West Kowloon. Strategically located in the dynamic neighborhood of Olympic, the new campus will offer a purpose-built harborfront pre-university learning space and is targeted to open in Fall 2025, subject to the successful registration of the proposed campus.

Located at No. 10 Hoi Fai Road at Tai Kok Tsui, this highly anticipated second campus will provide approximately 75,000 square feet of cutting-edge learning space across three stories, exclusively designed for approximately 550 Grades 9 to 12 High School students. The new campus will support Stamford’s High School program, culminating in the globally recognized International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). This milestone underscores Stamford’s ongoing commitment to nurturing future-ready students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Supporting Hong Kong’s Vision for Talent Attraction and Innovation

The establishment of this second campus of Stamford American School is a testament to the rising demand for quality international education in Hong Kong, both for the locals and the incoming global talents.

Andrew Noakes recently took the helm as Head of School at Stamford American School Hong Kong. He remarks, ‘In a short time since inception in 2017, Stamford has already earned a reputation for having an innovative STEMInn program and for the quality of our teaching and learning across the board. All these resulted in a remarkable surge of interest in enrollment, recording almost 60% increase in enquiries since COVID. I am pleased that we are about to expand our presence in Hong Kong, especially when the city confidently sets out to become a leading global innovation hub and cultivate a family-friendly, talent-rich environment.’

A New Era of Innovation and Growth

Stamford’s West Kowloon Campus is purpose-built to inspire autonomy, collaboration, and innovation, all key elements in a pre-university education.

Some key features of the proposed campus include:
● Thoughtful incorporation of design technology, such as circadian lighting and acoustic wall panels, to elevate the learning experience and well-being.
● Intentional planning and design of communal spaces to turn every area of the school into ‘learning neighborhoods’.
● Two music studios and four practice rooms for students to hone their musical talents.
● Two Art labs and exhibition space where creativity takes center stage.
● Dedicated science labs to foster curiosity and experimentation.
● Two drama studios and a black box theater for immersive artistic performances.
● Two Design and Technology labs for hands-on workshops where innovation takes shape.
● An open auditorium and a harbor-view library and research hub, overlooking the Olympic promenade.

The campus is intentionally designed with flexible learning spaces to support age-appropriate, out-of-classroom exploration, creating an environment where students and staff feel empowered to take ownership of their educational journey.

‘The launch of our second campus in fall 2025 will be a milestone moment for Stamford as we celebrate our 9th year in Hong Kong. We are determined to unveil a premium, bespoke pre-university campus to mark the occasion, and we have conducted a large-scale user engagement exercise with our faculty, staff, and students to capture their needs and aspirations for this second campus. These insights will further inform our decision in the space configuration, the fitting out of our campus, and the choice of furniture. I am excited that we can redefine high school education in the city through innovation in curriculum and campus design.’ Andrew Noakes adds.

Two Campuses, One Vision: Empowering Students for Future

This proposed second campus marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for Stamford, setting fresh horizons for academic rigor, creativity, and student autonomy. While the new campus offers a premium pre-university learning environment for Grades 9 to 12, Stamford’s Ho Man Tin campus continues to deliver world-class K-8 education, laying a strong foundation for students before transitioning into Stamford’s High School program.

As a through-train school, both campuses are united by Stamford’s vision, core values, and guiding principles. This ensures a cohesive K-12 educational journey that nurtures global-minded leaders and equips students with the skills, character, and knowledge to excel in a rapidly evolving world. This expansion also offers opportunities to reimagine and enhance the Ho Man Tin campus, allowing Stamford to strengthen further its Elementary and Middle School programs for long-term growth and success.

*Disclaimer
An application has been made for the registration of the proposed campus as a school under the Education Ordinance (Cap. 279 of the laws of Hong Kong) and is currently being reviewed by the relevant authorities. The opening, use, and operation of the proposed campus are subject to the successful registration of the proposed campus.
