Increasingly, international schools in Hong Kong require students to have Chinese (Putonghua). Some schools choose to do that in an immersion like setting.

Schools such as Chinese International School (CIS), Dalton School, Han Academy, International Montessori School (IMS), Independent Schools Foundation (ISF) Academy, Invictus School Hong Kong, Singapore International School, Victoria Shanghai Academy (VSA), Yew Chung International School (YCIS) offer strong Chinese (Putonghua) programs.

Additionally, since January 2025, Shrewsbury International School has offered the Hanqing Bilingual Program, which is 50% English – 50% and Chinese instruction including Chinese Mathematics.

There is also the option of a bilingual track at Canadian International School from the Early Years with 50% English and 50% Chinese.
