General Information

Renaissance College is a Private Independent School (PIS) run by ESF Educational Services Ltd.

We are a fully accredited, through-train IB School, offering all three IB programmes on one campus. 

Renaissance College is an English medium school. Mandarin will be offered as a specialist language subject for all students. 

The following conditions apply to Private Independent Schools:  

• At capacity, 70 per cent of students enrolled must have one parent with Hong Kong Permanent Resident status. 

• Renaissance College has no catchment area. 

• Children of full-time teachers at RCHK, Discovery College and ESF schools are guaranteed a place within a PIS or ESF school. 

Application to ESF and ESF Private Independent Schools (PIS) 

Dual applications are permitted, so you may apply to both ESF and Private Independent Schools.  

ESF Schools and PIS require separate applications. For statistical purposes, parents are asked to indicate the schools to which they have applied by ticking the appropriate boxes on the individual application forms.  

PLEASE NOTE: Application forms for Discovery College (PIS) and other ESF Schools can be downloaded from Discovery College or the official ESF website.

Applicants’ academic background, previous school reports and supporting documents will also be taken into account. Applicants must be able to demonstrate behavioral responsibility and the principles of good citizenship.
