The school is located in the New Territories area of Hong Kong, Tai Po Kau and is accessible to a wide range of rural residential areas. It is situated on the edge of a large forested area of country park and few minutes from local universities and amenities. The school has two sections -an International (170 students, English medium) primary section and a Japanese primary section (around 440 students, Japanese medium).

Respect: For each other, relationships, surroundings, the environment, and learning.
Commitment: To make a difference, to stay resilient and strong through adversity, to persevere in learning, to develop, to improve, to move forwards.
Kindness: To all, to the world, to help, to support, to offer encouragement, to be open minded, to be fair.
