It is reaching the time of year where parents ask the question what’s more beneficial for my child? Studying at an international school in Hong Kong or sending my children to study abroad. 

In both cases, children will be exposed to an English language speaking environment with substantially less homework and less exam pressure than that of a Hong Kong local school. 

For those who want their children to understand more about their “home country” or to have international experiences similar to their own parents, they are more likely to study abroad in either a boarding school or staying with a homestay family. According to UNESCO in 2024, 35,361 students are studying overseas in the USA, U.K., Canada or Australia. These students are more likely to be more independent, more open minded, have a better understanding of different cultures, be exposed to the different types of the English language and therefore have more career opportunities as a result of that. 

Those who do not want their children to travel so far can choose for their child to study at an international school at a boarding school. In Hong Kong, only Harrow is the only international school in Hong Kong, which offers boarding. They offer an extensive after school program and strong pastoral care program and have the option for students to board Monday to Friday, returning home on the weekend.
