At ICHK learning is everything: students, staff and parents individually and collectively learning together. At the heart of everything we do is a dual commitment to ensuring that every student is happy and cared for; and to provide our students with the very best education we can offer, day in, day out, year on year. Our 5+1 pastoral care model places student wellbeing at the centre of school life and underpins all learning and teaching. In an environment of safety and trust, growth, mutual understanding and shared respect, all students are enabled to flourish. Our unique and innovative curriculum offers students a stimulating and challenging learning journey. Key to this journey is ensuring that they develop resilience and the attitudes and mindsets that will underpin ongoing enjoyment of life, performance and success. All students, not just a minority, participate in the full range of school activities – sports teams, drama productions, outdoor expeditions, service projects – which stretch and stimulate them as fully rounded young learners. Our students are encouraged to be thoughtful, to care for others, to understand the importance of serving the community and how, through their actions, they can make a difference. We help students develop international-mindedness through an exploration of different perspectives related to local and global issues, guided by our definition of global citizenship: Global citizenship commits to an informed recognition that human beings share a common humanity that both underlies and transcends other aspects of their identity; that the fate of all humans is tied to the state of the planet beyond as well as within geographical or national borders; and that, once considerations of the ultimate sustainability of lifestyles are confirmed, the quality of human life in general is improved through a compassionate understanding of cultures, actively promoting inclusion, and advocacy for social justice and equity. Our guiding statements are informed by four strategic directions: Thriving Students, Best Possible Teacher, Environment for Sustainable Living and Learning, and Community and Partnership.

自中華人民共和國成立以後，1950年代開始已有不少港生回國升學，文化大革命期間回國升學活動停止， 1977年中國恢復高考後，香港學生亦有報考，但人數一直不多， 回內地升學學生人數回歸後初期亦未見大幅增加，至2001年及2002年，回國升學學生人數才有較大幅增長， 2007年約有4000多香港學生到內地升讀大學本科或預科課程。 隨著內地經濟及教育起飛，中國大學學歷在世界上獲得廣泛認可， 北京大學、清華大學等知名高校近年亦打入世界大學排名榜的前列。 世界上不少經濟學家更預言中國在三十到五十年內經濟上就可趕上甚至超越美國成為世界第一大經濟體系， 中文現在亦已成為僅次於英語的最重要國際語言，連不少跨國公司亦開始聘請熟悉中國文化、 掌握簡體字及普通話的員工。加上國家「十一五規劃」的實施及內地與香港更緊密經貿關係CEPA的推行， 越來越多港人穿梭中港兩地從事商貿工作或長駐內地工作，在內地大學取得大學學位， 將有助港生了解內地文化，建立社交網絡，為將來事業發展奠定良好基礎。 2006年國家教育部更公報，回內地升學的港生在學費上享有國民待遇， 即每年學費為4000多至5000多元，大大減輕家長的負擔。 2007年及2008年報考內地大學的學生人數都繼續增加，一個內地升學的熱潮正在形成中。 我們預計，幾年內，每年到內地升中小學、預科、大學及研究院的學生總人數可大幅增加至上萬人。
