Guidepost Montessori Chai Wan

The school is located in a standalone building within the Harmony Garden residential estate at 9 Siu Sai Wan Road, Chai Wan. It is situated directly across from the Island Resort complex on the eastern side of Hong Kong Island, offering a convenient setting with access to a dedicated outdoor playground.

The school serves children from infancy to 6 years old through distinct programs: "Montessori Together" (accompanied, up to 18 months), "Transitional Toddler" and "Toddler" (1.5–3 years), and "Children's House" (3–6 years). They also offer enrichment programs for children aged 2.5 to 6 years.

Guidepost Montessori Chai Wan is a co-educational day school.

The school utilizes the Montessori method, which is inherently designed to provide individualized education that "follows the child." This approach allows for tailored learning plans that adapt to each student's unique developmental timeline and needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

The school is part of the global Guidepost Montessori network, which originated in the United States, but it does not function as a national school (e.g., British or American) and follows the international Montessori curriculum.

The school has no religious affiliation and provides a secular education.

The campus generally operates from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. A typical half-day session for the Children's House includes a "Montessori Work Period" (approx. 8:45 am – 11:00 am), followed by a snack, gross motor play, and a language circle before dismissal.

While Guidepost mentions that bus options can vary by location in Hong Kong, parents are encouraged to contact the admissions team directly to enquire about specific transport arrangements for this site.

Guidepost Hong Kong offers a Montessori-based curriculum for ages 0-12, organized into Montessori Together (up to 18 months, accompanied), Nido (1-2), Transitional Toddler (1.5-2.5, semi-accompanied), Toddler (2-3, unaccompanied), Children's House (3-6, unaccompanied), Enrichment Programs (2.5-6, unaccompanied), and Primary (6-12, unaccompanied). The Montessori environment is a carefully prepared, child-sized space where children direct their own activity, particularly in Children's House. The early programs emphasize development through warm care and independence, with Transitional Toddler described as semi-accompanied to ease separation and build focused attention. Enrichment Programs extend learning for ages 2.5-6, while the Primary stage emphasizes collaboration, creativity, and deep academic engagement in an unaccompanied classroom setting. Extended Day options provide flexible scheduling from half-day to full experience.

Step 1 — Research and campus visits: Start by researching Guidepost Hong Kong programs and locations. You can visit any campus for a private tour, attend events, or request a meeting with the Head of School. The admissions team can provide details on program availability, the daily schedule, and current tuition rates. Book a time that fits your schedule to obtain the most current information.

Step 2 — Submit the application: When you are ready, submit an online application form and specify your preferred program and location. If you are applying for the primary school, you should contact admissions for guidance on that option. The team will acknowledge receipt and outline the next steps in the process.

Step 3 — Space availability and offer: If space is available for your desired program and start date, the Head of School will offer your child a space. An offer is conditional on completing the enrollment steps and providing required information. You will receive a formal offer and instructions on how to proceed.

Step 4 — Enrollment form and administrative fee: After receiving an offer, submit the enrollment form to secure your child's place. A non-refundable administrative fee of HKD 1,500 applies to all new admissions, effective January 2026. The enrollment fee is paid to finalize the placement and begin the onboarding process.

Step 5 — Rolling admissions and primary-school note: Guidepost Hong Kong operates rolling admissions, enabling starting opportunities as spaces become available. For the primary school, a meeting with families is required ahead of an enrollment offer being made. Plan ahead to accommodate these steps and potential scheduling needs.

Step 6 — Start date and onboarding: Once you have an offer and have submitted the enrollment form and admin fee, you will set a start date with the Head of School. You will receive onboarding information and next-step guidance to prepare for your child's first days in the chosen program.
