YMCA Christian Academy (YCA) is a unique, community-oriented private primary school situated in the heart of Hong Kong Island. A premier Christian international school in Hong Kong, we offer a vibrant, future-ready curriculum delivered through the International Primary Curriculum (IPC).
YCA empowers students to ignite bright futures of abundance and fulfillment, providing them with the best possible learning environment and primary education to succeed academically and personally.
People come first at YCA – as we are a community united in serving and prioritising the needs of our students in a nurturing Christian school culture. With the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong as our school sponsoring body, we wish to develop young people of integrity, who are equipped with skills to flourish in a rapidly changing world.
At the heart of YCA is the mission to foster a new generation of future-ready, Christ-like ambassadors. Through engaging, relevant learning in an environment that's both nurturing and challenging, it is our mission to guide and support each and every child on their journey to achieving their God given potential.
As a Christian international school, we prioritise developing a community of well-rounded young people with integrity and character. With this in mind, our school's primary education is firmly rooted in the Christian values of Love & Hope, Wisdom, Creativity, Thankfulness, Excellence, and Hope & Joy. These principal pillars form our unique approach to education and allow our campus community to thrive.
Based in Hong Kong, our school offers an English-medium International Primary Curriculum (IPC) designed for students 5-11 years old. Incorporating service-learning, experiential learning, and project-based learning, the IPC champions a clear process of learning with specific learning goals for every subject, international mindedness, and personal learning. Going hand in-hand-with the IPC curriculum is our "AGENCY" teaching philosophy, which stands for being "aware," "green," "entrepreneurial," "iNnovative," "community-minded," and "youthful." By embedding this model across our staff and student communities, we empower a community of future-ready, supportive, and aspirational individuals.
YCA is a hidden gem located in the heart of Central. A unique community of learning based on the firm foundation of authentic, meaningful relationships. Mutual trust and respect are highly valued, building a strong sense of shared understanding and purpose within our community. Building on this foundation, YCA is an aspirational school with a keen future-focused orientation, offering all students a personalised, meaningful learning journey. We achieve this through international best-practice pedagogical approaches such as service-learning, experiential learning, and project-based learning.
We have a strong sense of shared community values, and are a place where success in various forms is attainable by all, with each child being known and supported to be their best selves. Our experienced and passionate staff are committed to accompany our students on every step of their learning journey. We believe that school should be a place where a love of learning is ignited through co-constructed learning opportunities that empower students, while giving them real world, transferrable skills.
We are committed to continuous improvement and maintaining a culture of adaptability so that we can stay in tune with the needs of the modern learner in an ever-changing world. Our membership with Future Schools Alliance reinforces our commitment to providing our students with an education that supports them in prospering from the opportunities and navigating the challenges of their bright futures.

Young children get the care, love and attention they need from smaller class teaching environment. A very close knit community which parents are kept in close loop at all times. A happy school for both children and parents :)

A hidden gem in Hong Kong. A rare mix of innovative teaching methods, top notch staff, reasonable fees, small class sizes and community focused ethos. My son is excited to be in school every day and gets to experience a wide variety of subjects/topics/activities through the regular classes as well as their vast after school extra-curricular activities.
