EDUCATION
Invictus School Hong Kong
Cheyelene Fontanilla takes a trip to Invictus in Chai Wan to get an inside scoop on the new secondary school Established in 2019, Invictus School was founded with the purpose of providing quality, affordable education that caters to both local and expatriate children. What they promise is a no-hiddencosts education for families in Hong Kong, or as they put it, “accessible secondary education at $120,000 per year.” Despite being new to the scene, the school already has two campuses. The Tseung Kwan O campus is a kindergarten and primary school, while the Chai Wan campus is for Year 7 to Year 13 students. Though Invictus is new to Hong Kong, it’s a part of the Invictus umbrella of schools that originally began in Singapore in 2015.

Test: Fourth Edition (CAT4) to gauge their ability to reason across four fields: verbal, non-verbal, mathematical and spatial reasoning. Once your child is accepted, they will be under one of the following curricula: Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum, International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) or Cambridge International Advanced Levels (A-Levels). It all depends on their age, recent qualifications and their CAT4 results.
A holistic learning environment Eager to get a firsthand look at the ins and outs of Invictus Secondary School, we took a trip to meet with Principal Lee Harvey. He is the man who, since he started working for the school in April 2020, is dedicated to fine tuning every element of Invictus Secondary School’s learning experience.
