Kiangsu and Chekiang Primary School is a primary school in North Point, Hong Kong founded in 1953 by the Kiangsu and Chekiang Residents' Association of Hong Kong. It was the first school in Hong Kong to teach primarily in Mandarin Chinese, and for many years continued to be the only school to do so.
The school has a nursery and kindergarten section,and children are admitted from their second birthday, into the nursery class.
[edit] History
The school project was initiated by the Kiangsu and Chekiang Residents' Association of Hong Kong in 1949. Donations of HK$256,722 were raised to build a school on a 2,500 square foot plot of land donated by its Vice Chairman.
The school moved to its present location in 1958 after the Government allocated land for the school's expansion. The first stone of the foundation was laid by Governor Sir Robert Brown Black on February 26, 1958, and the school was ready for the new intake in August of the same year.
The international section of the school opened in 1993.
