As part of the English Schools Foundation(ESF), our students are supported by the largest English-medium international school organisation in Hong Kong, providing them the resources and opportunities not found outside of ESF Schools.
Discovery College promotes a holistic continuum that nurtures students' intellectual, emotional, and physical well-being, fostering growth and development for lifelong learning and success.
At ESF Discovery College, students thrive in a vibrant multicultural environment, learning from diverse perspectives that foster understanding, respect, and global citizenship in our interconnected world.
Our stunning campus provides state-of-the-art facilities and inspiring spaces for learning, creativity, and collaboration, ensuring students enjoy a conducive environment that supports their educational journey.
We emphasise on a well-rounded education, integrating academics, arts, and athletics, empowering students to explore their passions, develop critical skills, and prepare for a successful future in any field.
At Discovery College, we celebrate exceptional students, offering scholarships to those excelling in academics, service, arts, and more. Our program recognizes talent and supports students to unlock their full potential.
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), for our students from Years 1 to 6, focuses on inquiry-based learning and developing internationally-minded individuals. The PYP provides a framework of six transdisciplinary themes to explore the world and foster a love of learning. The culmination of the experience is the PYP Exhibition where students showcase their learning in diverse and creative ways, evidencing their understanding and agency through taking action.
Tailored for our Year 7 to Year 11 students, the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) emphasises critical thinking and connecting learning to real-world issues. The programme culminates in a personal project demonstrating student inquiry and application of their acquired skills.
A rigorous pre-university course for students in Year 12 and Year 13, the IB Diploma Programme (DP) is recognised globally for its academic breadth and depth. Students study six subjects, while also undertaking core components such as the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge, which promote independent research and critical thinking skills.
The IB Career-related Programme (CP), offered to Year 12 and Year 13 students, combines real-word and practical career-related studies with academic rigour. The CP integrates a career-related core consisting of 4 components, with students offered to take two or more DP subjects. The CP prepares students for future pathways including apprenticeships, higher education and entry into employment.

A key aspect of the IB programmes is community engagement. From the Primary Years to the Diploma and Career-related Programmes, students explore, understand, and actively contribute to their communities through various initiatives.
The IB emphasises that languages are essential for nurturing international mindedness. At DC, we celebrate diverse cultures and encourage home language use through successful programmes, enhancing student confidence and communication skills.
The Year 11 collaborative Design project enables students to address design problems through social entrepreneurship, fostering empathy, innovation, and sustainability while aligning with the IB's caring learner profile attributes.

At Discovery College, there is a strong culture of mutual encouragement among students and teachers, driving everyone to continuously improve and achieve success.

After over a decade of attending Discovery College, I can proudly say that I have never felt more part of a community and DC has become my second home and my family. Whether it be students, parents or staff; every person in our community has shown immense passion and kindliness to my cultivation and education. I will be forever grateful to my school for raising me through my whole childhood.

As a DCPTA member, I seek to work alongside the school to further strengthen parent connections and to add to the wonderful experience our children are already having at Discovery College. I hope to understand the needs of the community better and work alongside other parents to create special memories and bonds that they will cherish.

I'm Fabiana Drew, passionate about creating an outstanding educational experience for our kids. I've worked as a School inspector in England, checking out schools and ensuring they're top-notch. That experience was eye-opening, and it made me realise the incredible power parents have in shaping the educational journey for our little ones and the support we can provide to our hardworking teachers. I'm beyond thrilled for the opportunity to serve our school community as a member of the DC PTA.

Since DC is a school that teaches IB, we have the opportunity to learn and present our learning through multiple methods other than essays and exams.

I think the best part of learning in DC is the open minded approach the school has about different concepts of learning. New ideas are allowed to be explored during classes but the crucial part is allowing these ideas to flourish beyond class.

One of the best things about DC was the open mindedness of staff and the sense of inclusiveness felt by every student, including those who were a little different. People often ask me in university - “Would you have gone to a different school if you could”? The simple answer is, No, I wouldn't do it any differently.

Discovery College has provided me with the opportunity to surround myself with an amazing group of people, both students and teachers. Their internationally-minded approach to learning has allowed me to foster an understanding of an ever-changing world around me. Additionally, their diverse range of extracurricular activities has not only helped me hone my interests and hobbies but also develop life-long friendships.

What's New at DC?
Theatre at DC has been buzzing with energy and creativity this week with a host of activities across year levels and our students have eagerly embraced these experiences.
Year 7 and 8 students explored stage combat with Mr Lee from Faust International Youth Theatre, learning everything from stage slaps to sword fights. Year 11 wowed us with their Romeo and Juliet performances, blending Shakespeare’s text with combat techniques and last but not the least Year 12 delivered some stunning original productions that showcased technical creativity.
Thank you to the Theatre Department, all our students and to those who came to support!
Over the past few days, our school has been buzzing with collaboration and innovation! We've had the privilege of hosting two literacy consultants who have been working closely with our amazing Primary teachers to elevate reading and writing practices in the classroom.
Together, they've been: - Sharing strategies to engage students in literacy. - Exploring new techniques to strengthen writing skill - Fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment where all readers and writers can thrive.
This partnership is already making a difference, and we’re excited to see the positive impact it will have on our students' learning journeys. Huge thanks to our teachers and consultants for their dedication to excellence!
Our Parent Ed workshops held yesterday brought together parents and domestic helpers to explore the impact of screens on social-emotional learning. From the apps and devices children are using, to the risks they face, school policies, and practical parenting tips, there were rich group discussions and shared insights.
We are grateful to our facilitators, Parent Ed team, and all parents for your valuable time and support! We have more workshops on the horizon. Visit our Parent Education page to explore upcoming events and register at https://parents.discovery.edu.hk/parent-education-events.
Last evening, our Year 10 students took to the stage with powerful monologues, bringing challenging themes to life through bold physical and vocal skills. Each performance was unique and executed with confidence and creativity.
It was a truly exceptional evening of talent, allowing parents and family to take a sneak peek into Theatre at DC.
A big thank you to our Theatre team, Theatre Captains, and everyone who came to support!
Welcome back to a new school term! It is wonderful to see our students and staff back from the holidays, ready to embrace new beginnings. We wish all our families a joyful and successful year ahead! We can’t wait to celebrate all the growth and success our students will accomplish this year.
Flashback DC - From our founding days to the vibrant community we are today, Discovery College’s journey has been one of growth, spirit, and shared milestones. We invite you to look back with us through these photos and celebrate the story we’ve built together....
As we turn the page to a new year, we look forward with excitement and wish all DC families a wonderful start to the year ahead.

Last Friday’s End of Term Assembly was a true celebration of our community spirit! Our audience of 1500 was treated to a delightful array of musical performances and a dance rendition from our recent production of Little Shop of Horrors.
Our student leaders reflected on the highlights of the term—from House events and cultural celebrations to achievements in sports and the arts. What a wonderful way to close our first term and welcome the holidays!
On 21 Nov, our Year 11 students explored the Hotel & Tourism Institute / International Culinary Institute (HTI/ICI), gaining a taste of the IB Career-related Programme. From touring the campus to watching a live cooking demo, they discovered how hands-on training prepares students for global careers in hotels, catering, cruise ships, and beyond.
Equipped with communication, problem‑solving, and sustainable practices, our graduates become more aware of sustainable practices and effective budgeting and cost management, which helps them step confidently into higher education, internships, and career opportunities across the hospitality industry.
Book Week was a tremendous success. With the theme, 'Symphony of Stories', it brought together both primary and secondary students in friendly competition in a wide variety of activities ranging from bakeoffs to storytelling, quizzes to reading camps. DC was buzzing with the love of reading!
We thank all parent volunteers, teachers, staff, and students for their contributions and support in nurturing our readers and we hope the joy of reading continues into the holiday season!
Yesterday evening was truly special! After a 2-year gap, some of our DC alumni reunited on campus to reconnect with classmates and teachers. From the Class of 2014 to our newest graduates of 2025, it was heartwarming to see alumni sharing stories and laughter.
A few of our ex-staff joined us to celebrate this occasion. Staff and alumni connected on a personal level and moments like these reflect the true spirit of DC, which lasts beyond a student's time at school.
Thank you to everyone who came back to make this gathering so memorable. We can’t wait to see you again at next year’s alumni meet-up!
