Schools in South Side

Hong Kong's South Side encompasses the southern coastal strip of Hong Kong Island, taking in the affluent residential enclaves of Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, Stanley, Shouson Hill, and Aberdeen. The area has long been a preferred location for senior executives and diplomatic families, drawn by its relative tranquillity, proximity to beaches, and more spacious residential properties compared to the dense urban core.

The South Side is home to some of Hong Kong's most prestigious and long-established international schools, several of which occupy substantial campus sites with extensive sports facilities that would be impossible to replicate in the city's more built-up districts. Generous outdoor spaces, including playing fields, swimming pools, and tennis courts, are features of South Side campuses that are highly valued by sports-active families. The campuses tend to have a more traditional collegiate feel, with a mix of heritage buildings and modern educational facilities.

Access to the rest of the island is provided by bus routes through the Aberdeen Tunnel and Wong Chuk Hang, with the MTR South Island Line significantly improving connectivity in recent years. The combination of an established international school ecosystem, high-quality residential housing, beach and outdoor lifestyle access, and growing transport links makes the South Side consistently popular with expatriate families relocating to Hong Kong, particularly those coming from suburban environments in the UK, Australia, and North America.
