Victoria Educational Organisation, Belcher Campus

With seven kindergartens and one nursery school, Victoria is the leading provider in Hong Kong of high quality education for over 3,500 children. Victoria was the first kindergarten to introduce English teachers into the classroom, and to establish a collaborative, co-teaching environment with Chinese and English native speaking teachers working side by side.

Victoria Educational Organisation offers the highest quality education; catering to children aged 8-36 months, to its eight nurseries and kindergartens situated throughout Hong Kong.

The schools share a common vision and curriculum, with each campus celebrating its own style and individual qualities.

At the heart of the Victoria is the desire to be at the forefront of top quality educational provision whilst nurturing happy, joyful, enthusiastic learners. To develop innovative learning and teaching environments that foster teachers’ professionalism and help children reach their full potential.

We deeply believe that the childhood years are the most important for growing and learning. Therefore, we must provide our children with.

Victoria Educational Organisation is one of the largest providers of early childhood education in Hong Kong, serving families of pre-nursery and kindergarten children at its eight kindergartens and nurseries. We have built a legacy and reputation for our experience in education as we continuously explore and embrace innovations to enhance our children’s learning.

We believe deeply that quality education is a necessary precondition for a better world, and pledge to ensure that our schools meet your children’s needs by providing well-equipped, well-resourced, and well-staffed campuses. We take pride in our commitment to offering programmes that draw upon leading early childhood research and best practices facilitated by an expert and knowledgeable faculty. Together, we aim to create a relevant, engaging and challenging educational experience for all children.

We stay true to our motto, “Multilingual Students Today, Global Citizens Tomorrow”, and to our objectives – Together we care, learn and inspire – by implementing programmes that emphasize exploratory and inquiry-based learning approaches, in environments designed to nurture children’s love of learning, academic and skills development. The International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, renowned for challenging the inquiring mind and engaging children with broader international perspective, is implemented in all of our campuses, that have been authorized as a IB World schools. Furthermore, a balanced curriculum to enforce literacy standards and enrich inquiry learning is adopted throughout our organisation.

Our entire staff is committed to establishing a school environment that allows students to enjoy their learning experiences, and to flourish and grow at all levels. The immersion setting we provide demonstrates our emphasis on developing children’s early biliteracy and trilingual skills. We facilitate such language development by implementing the “one teacher-one language” arrangements in classrooms, thus allowing children to learn and interact with native speakers of different languages: English, Cantonese, and Putonghua respectively.

It all began over 50 years ago, in 1965, when Ms. Christina Ting Yuk-Chee and her sister, Mrs. Cecilia Lee Ting Yuk-Kuen opened a nursery that would provide a more caring and enjoyable place for their own children and others to attend. From this family-based foundation, the school flourished under the visionary leadership of one of its first students; Ms Ting’s daughter, Dr. Maggie Koong May-Kay. Dr. Koong returned from university in America to become the Chief Principal of the two nursery schools, and expanded the "Victoria family" into what is now known as Victoria Educational Organisation (VEO).

With seven kindergartens and one nursery school, Victoria is the leading provider in Hong Kong of high quality education for over 3,500 children. Victoria was the first kindergarten to introduce English teachers into the classroom, and to establish a collaborative, co-teaching environment with Chinese and English native speaking teachers working side by side.

The Victoria vision continued, and the idea of trilingual (Cantonese, Putonghua and English) classrooms was born in 2007. This vision entailed the need for three qualified native speaking teachers in each classroom which was an enormously successful and popular teaching strategy. With a low student to teacher ratio, Victoria continues to provide a personalised and nurturing learning environment to students with an immersive trilingual approach.

It did not stop there. Dr. Koong has always been concerned with accountability and each child achieving the best they could. She looked for a programme that would incorporate creativity and play, whilst having academic rigour. She decided upon the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP). In December 2005, the first Victoria Kindergarten was authorised as an IB World School, and all the Victoria Kindergartens have since followed this path.

Victoria has a long history of educating and inspiring young minds. Our graduates are equipped as multilingual learners today, and have the foundations to become global citizens of tomorrow. We are proud of our network of global alumni with representation across diverse industries. Leading doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, CEO’s, educators, musicians, artists and many others all took their first important steps at Victoria.
