HKIS provides supplemental services for students with mild learning needs. Students with special needs are admitted when their individual needs can be met through the amount and kind of support that HKIS currently provides. This does not exclude students who receive additional specialized support outside HKIS, provided this support helps them to be successful in the regular school program. It should be understood however, that those students who need extensive support by the school outside the regular classroom setting, may have difficulty gaining admission. Parents whose child has special needs are encouraged to consult directly with HKIS before applying for admission, to determine if the specific necessary resources are available. Supporting documents for the admission of students with special needs should include the child's most recent Educational and Psychological Assessment reports as well as copies of the Individual Education Plan (IEP) from the applicant's current school.

All students accepted into HKIS, including those students with special needs, join regular HKIS classes and study alongside the other students.

Primary has a wonderful cafeteria that offers healthy and balanced lunch options for our children. Purchasing lunch is an option. Parents may purchase lunches online and view monthly menus. The cafeteria will serve meal options daily, or students may also opt to only purchase a snack option, which will be served family-style on a daily basis at the tables. Parents who prefer to send healthy lunches from home are welcome to do so. Middle and High School - a catering company provides a balanced hot lunch program. Students have a choice of daily lunch specials, noodle bar, salad bar, sandwiches and also a range of hot/child snacks, fruits, health bars, dim sum, and bakery items. Items can be purchased using an Octopus card.
