The Korean International School of Hong Kong (Korean: 홍콩한국국제학교; Chinese: 香港韓國國際學校) is an international school located in Lei King Wan, Sai Wan Ho, Hong Kong. It is located near the Tai Koo Shing area, which is home to a large number of Hong Kong's Korean families. It was founded in 1994.
The Korean International School is divided into two sections based on medium of instruction: the Korean section teaches in Korean, while the international section teaches in English. The school's chief operating officer is Byun Chang Suk. Each section has its own principal; Christopher Chadwick is the principal of the English section. It is one of the few overseas Korean educational institutions which also accepts non-Korean students. As of 2013, it enrolled 560 students. Roughly 5% of its ₩4 billion operating budget is subsidised by the South Korean government. Of the Korean students, who make up roughly 70% of the student body, 65% are the children of permanent residents.
