Campus and facilities: After moving to its new location at Braemar Hill in 1985, Quarry Bay School recently had a major refurbishment of the campus. The internal and external premises of the school are now updated to a very high standard. The new remodel allows for active learning both inside and outside the classroom. To promote the arts, the facilities have a large stage with seating for 150 people and a professional digital sound and lighting system. There are also basketball and netball courts, a computer suite and rooftop educational areas.

Competitive advantage: Quarry Bay School uses the IB PYP as its curriculum framework. This transdisciplinary, concept-driven approach allows the school to meet the challenges of educating in the 21st century by constructing a personalised programme that is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant for its diverse school population.
