The choice of a school is a highly personal one, and every child is different. At Invictus we provide a nurturing environment and a meaningful international education, through English and Mandarin.

What’s the difference between the IPC and IB primary programmes?

The two programmes have many similarities through their inquiry-based approaches to learning, their strong emphasis on a person’s learning skills, and their international perspective. Both programmes provide a strong foundation for the IGCSE and A-Level curricula offered in Invictus School’s secondary section in Chai Wan.

Is there an entry assessment for Invictus School?

Yes there is, but it is not a formal test. Our assessment is an encouraging one designed to give children an opportunity to showcase their skills and abilities in all academic areas, to let us see if they will be able to access our curriculum successfully. A high level of proficiency in both English and Mandarin is not necessarily required. The assessment also identifies any additional learning needs, including social or behavioural, which may require support.

What if my child does not perform well on the entry assessment?

Our assessment, conducted by teachers in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, is designed to identify where your child is at in his/her learning. If we feel that considerable extra support will be required to access our curriculum, we may discuss the nature of such support as an additional cost.

What are the fees at Invictus, and is there a debenture?

There are currently no debentures or entrance fees. The annual school fees are HK$111,400 for Kindergarten and HK$114,700 for Primary paid over ten months.
