As part of the English Schools Foundation (ESF), our students are supported by the largest English-medium international school organisation in Hong Kong, providing them the resources and opportunities not found outside of ESF Schools.
At ESF schools, we provide a world-class education that is renowned for its academic excellence and rigorous curriculum. Our dedicated teachers and staff ensure that every student receives the best possible learning experience.
Our schools offer comprehensive support systems, including personalised guidance, pastoral care, and counselling services, to help students thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
We believe in fostering a strong partnership between schools and families. We actively encourage parental involvement and maintain open lines of communication to ensure that parents are fully engaged in their child's educational journey.
Alongside academic excellence, our well-rounded education cultivates talents, interests, and character through diverse co-curricular activities in sports, arts, music, and community service.
Our schools embrace diversity and create a multicultural environment where students from different backgrounds come together to learn and grow. We celebrate cultural differences, promote inclusivity, and prepare students to thrive in a globalised world.
As an IB World School, we're proud to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP) - a transformative curriculum that nurtures the whole child. Through transdisciplinary learning, our students develop the knowledge, skills, and mindset to become globally-minded, principled contributors committed to shaping a better world.
At QBS, we cultivate an equitable, inclusive environment where every individual is valued and empowered to reach their full potential. As a leading international school, we are steadfastly committed to continuously improving our diversity, equity, and inclusion practices to shape compassionate global citizens.
Well-being is intrinsically linked to all aspects of a student’s experience at school and beyond. It encompasses physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual and social health and development, and contributes to an understanding of self, to developing and maintaining relationships with others, and to participation in an active, healthy lifestyle.
At QBS, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We are committed to fostering a place where working and learning go hand-in-hand with environmental stewardship. Through the seamless integration of sustainable practices across our campus, we strive to lead by example and cultivate environmental awareness within our wider community.
The QBS student leadership program empowers Year 6 students to develop leadership, responsibility, and teamwork skills, enabling them to make a positive impact within the school community while embodying our core values and IB learner profile.

I think Quarry Bay School is a great place to be because the teachers are very kind and help us a lot. Lessons are fun and we get to work together with our friends.

I absolutely loved being a part of Quarry Bay School. The vast array of learning opportunities available here was truly remarkable, and I always felt supported when I needed extra help. My fondest memory is the joy of talking and playing with my friends during recess in the vibrant school playground.

As a parent of 3 children in Quarry Bay School, I believe QBS offers the best of both worlds, an international yet local community. With a down-to-earth feel, QBS is a school where academics go hand in hand with happiness, lots of love and enthusiasm and a passion for learning in a variety of ways. QBS is a school that brings out the best in my children no matter their differences and personalities.

I've had the privilege of being part of the Quarry Bay School (QBS) community twice - first as a student and now as a parent for over 7 years. The excellent leadership team, the teachers and staff are friendly, enthusiastic, and caring towards every student. Both of my children have been very happy at QBS, learning in a positive environment and developing meaningful friendships. I highly recommend QBS to other parents.

As a former Quarry Bay School student from 2012-2015, I was thrilled to work at the school for a year. I'm deeply passionate about QBS's core values and the caring, supportive community that empowers the student body. QBS is a highly creative school that encourages self-expression across all subjects. I love being a part of this positive environment surrounded by a friendly, social community. QBS provides students with diverse opportunities that enhance their overall school experience. During my time as a student, I was heavily involved in sports, representing the school in various internal and external events. I believe student participation in school activities is crucial for building confidence, developing social skills, and forming strong relationships.

Quarry Bay School manages to combine high expectations and academic rigour with some of the softer skills that will be so necessary for our children's future. Children here are happy, curious and kind. Most important of all, they love learning and enjoy coming to school. Parents, children and teachers all play a part in the supportive school community which creates a great sense of belonging.

What's New at QBS?
What a week of Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations at QBS!
A massive thank you to our incredible PTA and Chinese Department for their wonderful efforts in bringing the festive spirit to life!
This week, our students enjoyed the pleasure of making and tasting delicious mooncakes 🥮. Yesterday, the QBS community came together for the traditional Lantern Walk, which was beautifully lit up by the amazing self-made lanterns from our competition! 🏮 And to top it all off, today our students ran a fantastic and engaging Mid-Autumn Festival Assembly.
Truly a memorable way to celebrate this tradition!
For the last two weeks, QBS has been celebrating the joy of reading and taking part in the International 'Make Room to Read' Challenge! Our students did a fantastic job of reading every day. We wrapped up the challenge last Friday with a fun Book Celebration Day! The school was filled with incredible characters and book-inspired creations. Thanks to everyone who supported our charity book sale! Proceeds will be donated to @roomtoreadhk, helping bring literacy to underprivileged children worldwide. Well done QBS! 📚🎉
👏 Special shoutout to our incredible site staff! We're so grateful for your hard work this week, prepping the school before the typhoon and then cleaning up to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for our students. #esfqbs #incrediblesitestaff #aftertyphooncleanup #weareqbs
Following the EDB Announcement, all primary schools will be closed Tuesday 23rd September and Wednesday 24th September, due to the impending threat of Super Typhoon Ragasa. Parents can check App messages on the ESF App for updates. #esfqbs #schoolclosure
QBS Year 3 students began their new transdisciplinary unit, "How the World Works"!
This week, they had their first trip to the Science Museum, where they explored interactive exhibits and observed how different natural systems function. Back at school, they ran some exciting experiments, diving deeper into their understanding of the natural world.
With the recent typhoons reaching Hong Kong, our students may even get a chance to analyse some natural phenomena firsthand!
Quarry Bay School is turning 100 years old! If you’ve been part of our school community, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at alumni@qbs.edu.hk.
Thank you to our Year 6 students for stepping up as ambassadors of QBS, demonstrating confidence, knowledge, and teamwork. As part of their unit of inquiry, they guided prospective parents on a school tour, showcasing their incredible communication skills and deep understanding of community connections. Parents not only got a first-hand look at our facilities but also gained valuable insights directly from our students about their learning journey.
Time flies when you're having fun, and we're already in the 4th week of school! It's been a joy to see our students thriving, smiling, and making the most of every moment.
They wouldn’t dare miss their play and break times—exploring new equipment, trying out exciting activities, and discovering the wonders of our rooftop spaces.
#esfqbs #learningthroughplay #playtime
Today marked a brand-new adventure for our Year 1 students as they experienced their first full day at school with their whole class. It was heartwarming to see so many smiles, laughter, and happy faces as they began their exciting primary school journey.
Welcome to the 2025/26 school year QBS! We wish all our community new opportunities, new challenges, and endless possibilities to learn, grow, and shine! Let’s make it the best one yet!
