The campus overlooks the South China Sea and has regular use of the adjacent Stanley Ho Sports Centre. Kennedy takes pride in being a Green School, complete with a school garden, compost capabilities and sustainable facilities.

Competitive advantage: Kennedy School offers a high-quality, modern, liberal education based on the IB PYP, with links to the English National Curriculum and adapted to meet the needs of children living in Asia. Music, performing arts and physical education are strengths of the school. A strong interest in environmental and ecological issues is also a feature of the school. The school can provide rich and varied extracurriculars because of its connection to Hong Kong University’s Stanley Ho Centre, located next door.
