What SSCPS does

St. Stephen's College Preparatory School (SSCPS) is a private, Anglican, co-educational primary school located at 30 Wong Ma Kok Road, Stanley, Hong Kong, in the Southern District. Founded in 1938, the school operates as a feeder institution to St. Stephen's College (established 1903) and is governed under the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (Anglican) education system. The school offers a six-year primary education programme (Grades 1–6) delivered in English as the medium of instruction, with a comprehensive bilingual (Chinese/English/Putonghua) curriculum and an operations footprint of approximately 24 classes, roughly 4 classes per grade level, with a stated 1:14 teacher-to-student ratio and 15 Native English-Speaking Teachers.

The school's core product is its primary education programme, supplemented by a compulsory one-year boarding programme for Grade 6 students (the only primary school in Hong Kong providing boarding facilities), STEM education delivered through a dedicated lab, a comprehensive extracurricular portfolio (orchestras, bands, choirs, sports teams), and a library holding approximately 22,083 items. Ancillary services include school bus transportation covering 12+ Hong Kong districts. Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring annual tuition (HK$94,350 for 2025-2026; HK$97,150 for 2026-2027), a mandatory Grade 6 boarding fee (HK$49,800), one-time application fees (HK$200 for G2–G6), and recurring bus subscriptions. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through a multi-stage admission process (online application, portfolio assessment, multi-language interviews, and written examinations for transfer students), with admissions briefs and community-led word-of-mouth as primary acquisition channels.

The school has no venture capital or private equity ownership and operates as a non-profit educational institution under a Preparatory School Committee chaired by Prof Christopher W. To. It has demonstrated steady physical and curricular expansion over decades—from 9 students in 1938, to 12 classes in 1983, 18 classes in 2005, and 24 classes by 2021—accompanied by capital investments including a 2008 facility block rebuild and a 2016 new block housing an auditorium, library, greenhouse, and staffroom.
