OutreachProgramme

Since 1996, the award-winning KG Group has been the market leader in children's arts and English language education and learning enrichment programmes across Hong Kong, China, and other Asian countries. We have developed a unique set of learning programmes to provide balanced co-curricular education which enhances academic ability and develops creativity and critical thinking skills.

n A view to the future

Our vision is to be the �rst platform of choice for art and English language courses, known for our quality programmes, demonstrable results with students, and outstanding communication with parents, while being highly professional, innovative, creative, and effective. We work closely with our partner schools and education providers to deliver top quality learning to children and young people aged 6 months to 18 years.

Our Kids' Gallery courses provide inspirational tuition in Playgroup and arts classes, communication arts, performing arts, and visual arts. We develop self-con�dence, excellent presentation skills, and the ability to enhance learning through the arts.

At Star English, students develop pro�ciency not only in English but also in critical thinking and problem-solving skills, gaining all-round expertise in the language. We specialise in and are known for our strong curriculum in phonics, reading, writing, grammar, and debating.

Face Productions provides event and talent management services, and organises youth productions in professional theatres. Our aim is to stimulate, build, and develop lasting engagement with the performing arts, through the core disciplines of acting, singing, and dancing. We actively achieve this through providing a combination of high quality performances, education, and training with an international focus.

Mills International Preschool gives children a balanced start in their earliest educational experiences. We follow the UK Early Years curriculum framework, and teach bilingually in English and Mandarin. We specialise in enquiry-based learning where children learn through play as well as academic rigour, and discover new knowledge for themselves through guided activities.
