ESF

ESF Sports & Language (part of English School Foundation) is a registered charitable organisation and was established in 1994, and since then has provided English language and sports programmes in ESF schools and non ESF venues. Subsequently, Spanish as a foreign language was added in 2011. We offer classes in 22 ESF schools across Hong Kong and in ESF Language & Learning Centre, which opened in Wan Chai in 2016.

ESF Language & Learning offers playgroup (from 6 months up) and English and Spanish programmes for students 2.5 to 16 years old. Our language classes are age-appropriate and focus on key skills such as understanding, listening, speaking, reading and writing through hands-on and interactive activities. Our young students learn and master not only a second language but also team work, decision making, self-confidence and problem solving skills.

Purpose built ESF Language & Learning Centre, a registered centre with EDB, in Wan Chai caters to playgroup, pre-school and primary students. Our playgroup classes follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, which are play and enquiry-based.

ESF Sports offers both team and individual sports classes, including swimming, basketball, football, gymnastics, tennis, kung fu, and sports cubs for students of all ages. ESF Sports focus on developing children’s abilities from the moment they start a sport as a beginner and through to the advanced level and beyond where they participate at competitive level in our squads and academies. All of our sports classes are delivered in English. We pride ourselves on delivering structured skill-based classes, combining fun in a relaxed atmosphere, promoting discipline and mental and physical development.

Our students are at the centre of all we do. Our programmes promote learning in a fun and enjoyable way. Children are challenged to develop their skills and build their knowledge while actively encouraging involvement and interest. Each child is valued, supported, developed, taking account of their interests and abilities. Our aim is to provide opportunities to children and young people to explore, develop and grow their interests, skills and abilities.
