This year, as we look toward our 60th anniversary, we invite you to continue this tradition. An HKIS education goes beyond academics. It helps students grow in knowledge, character, and faith. Tuition covers the basics, but the Annual Fund brings learning to life—in classrooms and on stages, in sports and service projects, in music and in spiritual growth.
When you give to the Annual Fund, you show care for the community your family loves.

FAQs
Like all non-profit schools and organizations around the world, HKIS generates the funds needed to operate the school through limited revenue sources. Tuition and fees, on average, cover approximately 90% of the cost of providing an HKIS education. The HKIS Annual Fund helps meet the full revenue needed to operate the school. It supports the Mission and Student Learning Results by providing the means to attract and retain the finest teachers, develop and expand academic and co-curricular programs, and maintain and enhance the school infrastructure.
Everyone in the HKIS community – parents, alumni, faculty and staff – is encouraged to contribute to the Annual Fund each year. Further support is provided by corporations, trustees, and friends.
Yes! You can choose to direct your Annual Fund giving to the programmatic area of the school that you and your family want to support. When you choose one of these core school-wide needs, your donation will be used only on that need, not for anything else. You can choose from these core school-wide needs:
- Academic Programs
- Area of Greatest Need
- Arts and Design/Drama and Theatre
- Athletics and After-school Programs
- Music
- Religion and Spirituality Program
- Service & Experiential Learning Programs
Tuition increases are necessary to offset the impact of inflation as well as school initiatives including improvements to or additional programs. The Annual Fund ensures that tuition increases, when necessary, are as reasonable as possible. Past increases have also been reflective of fluctuations in the Hong Kong economy and have been lower than those announced by peer schools.
Everyone is encouraged to contribute, no matter the size of the donation. What is important is participation in the Annual Fund, which demonstrates commitment and support of the school’s Mission and Student Learning Results. Further, broad participation is a key factor when securing grants from corporations and foundations.
