OUR HONG KONG TEAM
Our Hong Kong office is in the heart of Causeway Bay. Conveniently located, parents can arrange an appointment or drop in any time they need. We thoroughly enjoy catching up with parents, and we love to meet new families too. Our team works night and day to ensure that all students are cared for from the moment they embark on their journey, to the time they arrive home. There is always someone at the end of a phone, and we always welcome a call, message or update to hear about how not just the student but how the whole family is getting on.
Whether it's seeking advice, signing important documents, organising a birthday treat or outing, or simply coming in for a conversation and a cup of tea to chat about how your child is doing, we are on hand to answer any questions you have.
