Discovery Mind International Play Centre

Founded in 1996, our early mission was to provide high quality education to the local and overseas community of Hong Kong in the post-handover era. Our focus was, and remains until today, to offer all-round, multi-dimensional teaching to our children, to prepare them for growing up in a multi-cultural environment in Hong Kong and worldwide. The decision to set up our campus in Discovery Bay, one of the greenest living environments in Hong Kong, is a natural ‘fit’ for the community we serve.

With the tireless dedication and care of our teaching staff through the years, our graduates are a healthy mix of overseas and local students. They excel academically, and in many cases have gone on to pursue higher education at various prestigious institutions. We are proud to have contributed to their success.

As the global society has evolved a great deal during the past two decades, we have also adapted to suit an ever-changing environment. We have maintained the four pillars of our teaching principles, and tailored our syllabus to these core values. We strive to instill in our children a Worldly Perspective; we focus on nurturing the Creative Minds of our students; we ensure our children enjoy a Caring Environment as if they were at home; and we hope our graduates leave our school with a Happy Soul.

At Play Centre, our focus is on creating a harmonious play environment where children of different cultural backgrounds, often speak different languages, can learn to cope and accept each other, instilling in them at an early stage the belief that, while we are all unique, it is essential to respect others in the diversity of these beliefs, cultures and languages. At Kindergarten, we place emphasis on small class teaching so that the teachers can devote more attention to individual students, allowing the potential of each student to be developed and flourished. At Primary School, we engage with our class on an individual level, and with much attention dedicated to the character building of these young boys and girls, so that they can develop into adaptable and socially responsible citizens with the ability to shape our society in future.

As demand for our quality education and children care services grew, we have expanded beyond Discovery Bay, to other parts of Hong Kong and across the border. We have attracted the attention of many parents who wish to broaden their children’s horizons and provide them with a more global scope, either in the pursuit of knowledge or life experience.

The ‘Discovery Mind’ family will continue to grow. We welcome you as one of our family members to start the journey to discover the world with a global mind.

At Discovery Mind, we believe that education plays a fundamental role in shaping the next generation of well-rounded, emotionally healthy individuals. We believe in cultivating enduring human values and time-tested life skills. We want to prepare our children to be forward thinkers in an ever changing and increasing borderless world.

Our vision at Discovery Mind is simple – to inspire every child to discover the world with a global mind.

Discovery Mind offers international educational standards in a multi-cultural setting that helps children understand cultural dynamics, mutual respect and a worldly perspective. The vibrant, diverse communities of Hong Kong’s Discovery Bay and Tung Chung have a strong presence at Discovery Mind, where there are nearly 40 different nationalities from five continents around the world.

Discovery Mind provides a caring and intimate environment that ensures students get both academic and emotional support. Teachers extend the best level of love and attention to students at school – just as parents would at home. The small teacher-student ratio allows for a better understanding of every student’s learning needs and provides them with support to develop at their own pace.

At Discovery Mind Schools, we cultivate optimistic individuals who can realise their dreams confidently and happily. We emphasise a flexible, interactive learning experience that encourages critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills from an early age. Our curriculum offers excellent mobility for further study opportunities in Hong Kong and overseas.

Discovery Mind provides tomorrow’s global citizens with a progressive, engaging and human learning experience. Our journey begins today by helping your child discover the world with a global mind.
