Hong Kong Baptist University Affiliated School Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School

A 12-year through-train Direct Subsidy school in Shek Mun, Sha Tin, founded 2006, the first university-affiliated through-train DSS school in Hong Kong. Around 940 students at secondary, Putonghua and English bilingual immersion.

HKBUAS Wong Kam Fai sits on the HKBU campus and operates as an English-medium school for most subjects, with Putonghua used widely for Chinese language and humanities. Two pathways open at senior secondary: the local HKDSE route and an international stream offering IGCSE and AS/A Levels. The Form 1 admissions interview tests English and Chinese language, communication skills, character, and parental fit.

Families pick this school for the rare combination of through-train continuity from primary into secondary, the bilingual immersion, and the option to switch to A Levels in senior years for overseas university routes. The HKBU connection brings access to university facilities and outreach. Place pressure is high, with admissions competitive at both Primary 1 and Form 1 entry. Best fit for Hong Kong families wanting a strong bilingual through-train DSS with both DSE and A Level options.

• HKBUAS Wong Kam Fai is a co-educational Direct Subsidy School in Shek Mun, Sha Tin, opened in 2006 as the first university-affiliated school in Hong Kong. It runs an EMI programme to HKDSE and a parallel GCE A-Level pathway.
• Big Exam and the school's own results pages place it as a Band 1B to 1C school. In 2024, around 70 per cent of HKDSE candidates achieved Level 4 or above in English and Mathematics. In 2025, eleven A-Level candidates posted straight A sets and 76 per cent of A-Level grades were A or A.
• University destinations skew strongly to Oxford, Imperial, UCL, Edinburgh, HKU, CUHK and HKUST, which reviewers cite when they distinguish HKBUAS from typical local Band 1 schools.
• Glassdoor's sixteen-review staff pool is small. Recurring positives: students described by teachers as a joy to teach and the school as a happy place. Recurring negatives: management, lunch and a critique that staff often switch to Cantonese in what is meant to be an English-medium environment.
• Wikipedia documents two notable controversies. In 2020, students alleged restrictions on black and yellow surgical masks associated with the protest movement, and the school blurred yearbook images and discouraged group singing of "Glory to Hong Kong." In 2021, the school mandated bi-weekly COVID testing for staff without prior consultation.
• Independent parent forum voice in English is thin. The school's reputation in Hong Kong is built on DSE and A-Level outcomes and the HKBU pipeline rather than expat-forum chatter.
