Island School (Chinese: 港島中學) is a co-educational international school located on the Mid-levels, Hong Kong. Established in 1967, it is a founding member of the English Schools Foundation. The school has been accredited by international organisations such as the Council of International Schools[1] and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.[2] The school currently houses over 1,200 students across 33 nationalities.[3][4]

The school has relocated itself twice since its establishment. Using the site of a former British military hospital from 1967 to 1972, the school permanently settled in 20 Borrett Road, Mid-Levels from 1972 to 2017. However, due to redevelopment work, the school temporarily moved to two campuses in Sha Tin District in December 2017. The school has since returned to 20 Borrett Road as of August 2022 after 4 years of redevelopment work.[5]

Island School is a registered IB World School and offers the IB diploma program along with an alternative BTEC program in the senior years. Island School also offers the IGCSE in Years 10-11.
