Junior sport and experience programmes

Short, well-chosen experiences that end in a credential: ski instructor pathways in Niseko, Hakuba and New Zealand; sailing certificates in Hong Kong; and the portfolio that makes them count.


Why credentials, not camps

Admissions readers trust what someone else has examined.

A fortnight’s skiing is a holiday. A fortnight that ends in an NZSIA, CSIA or BASI Level 1 examination is a credential, with a card, a date and an assessor. The same is true of RYA and HKSF sailing certificates. We design programmes around the examination, choose providers that are accredited to run it, and keep the child supervised and safe throughout.

Programmes are not padding. One sport pursued over years, with progression and eventually responsibility for others, is what distinguishes a file. The programmes below are entry points to that kind of commitment, and the activity portfolio is how it is recorded.

  • Ski instructor pathways: Niseko, Hakuba and New Zealand

    Two to four weeks on snow, finishing with a recognised instructor or race qualification, in Japan over the winter holidays or in New Zealand during the Northern summer.

  • Sailing certificates in Hong Kong

    Hong Kong is one of Asia's best places to learn to sail. Juniors from abroad earn internationally recognised RYA and HKSF certificates in a summer; Hong Kong juniors build toward racing and club life.

  • The activity portfolio

    Schools do not count activities; they read for depth. The portfolio turns sport, service and certificates into a record an admissions reader can trust.


Fees

A coordination fee from HK$18,000 per programme, with course fees, lift passes, accommodation, travel and insurance paid at cost and itemised in advance. Guardian supervision is arranged for children travelling without a parent. See the fees page.
