Sear Rogers International School (SRIS; Chinese: 弘爵國際學校) is a co-educational international secondary private school. Currently serving around 100 students in Tsuen Wan, it is one of the oldest schools in Hong Kong. Its students take the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) followed by the GCE A/AS-Level.
History
Sear Rogers International School (SRIS) was established in 1982.[2] Students at the school mostly are from Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.[3] SRIS is a co-educational English medium school for pupils aged 12–18 years (Grades 7 to 13, equivalent to F1 to F7).[4]
In 1996, the school purchased Royden House International School, a school founded in 1958.[2] According to the scholar Yoko Yamato, SRIS tuition fees in 2003 were less expensive than "most other" international schools.[2] RHIS considered and rejected a merge with Pegasus Social Service Christian Organisation's Pegasus Philip Wong Kin Hang Christian Primary School in 2007 owing to Pegasus offering HK$1 rather than HK$50 million for the Tsuen Wan property.[5]
Curriculum
The school teaches the National Curriculum for England, which it adjusts for Hong Kong.[3] Instruction is in English, and students who do not have English-language experience receive several hours of instruction in the language every week.[6][7] It teaches Mandarin and French and offers extracurricular activities including dancing, performing arts, badminton, association football, and basketball.[4]
