St. Francis of Assisi's English Primary School (Chinese: 聖方濟各英文小學) is a private Catholic whole-day English primary school in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The school uses English as the medium of instruction.
St. Francis of Assisi's English Primary School was founded in 1955. At the time, the school was a building with two storeys, including the ground floor of St. Francis of Assisi Church, a school hall, a playground, and twelve classrooms.[2]
A second five-storey school building was built alongside the playground in 1962. The number of classrooms was then increased to 26 and the school was officially named the present school name.[2]
A gifted student programme was created in 1998, admitting only students with IQ above 130 "to help them maximise their high potential".[2][3]
Whole-day school policy was implemented in 1999.[2]
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) was implemented in 2012 as part of the school’s development in eLearning.[2]
Architecture
The school's architect was Chien Nai-jen (錢乃仁). The school was built in 1955 as a replacement of a previous church building demolished by the Japanese military for expanding Kai Tak during the Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong. The building was built in the Chinese renaissance architectural style, which was exceptionally rare and the only project by Chien to use this type of architectural style.[4]
