Christian Alliance International School to open next year in Butterfly Valley
The school, planned to open in phases from August 2017, will provide space for 300 students
A new Christian international school, scheduled to open in phases in August next year, will add 300 more places to the international school scene.
The Christian Alliance International School will open its 2-hectare campus in Butterfly Valley, Lai Chi Kok, and will also take in around 900 students currently enrolled in its sister school Christian Alliance P. C. Lau Memorial International School.
The school’s Kowloon City campus is scheduled to undergo renovation before reopening, while its interim Lai Yiu Campus would be returned to the government when the new school open, said Clarence Chan Ka-yan, Christian Alliance International School’s chairman.
The additional 300 students in the new school, which provides education from prep school to grade 12, will be spread across various levels.
He added student enrolment would be increased to 1,800 three to five years from opening.
Martin Lau Kwok-kit, a council member of the Christian Alliance International School, also revealed the school will introduce an individual capital note of at least HK$400,000 per student, which its sister school did not have.
He explained the sum, which is refundable in full after the student leaves the school, was to help out with the development cost of HK$1.2 billion for the school campus.
