Causeway Bay Community Reacts to Education Centre Relocations, Programme Changes

ARCH Education Center completed its full relocation to China Taiping Tower in Causeway Bay, with all classes beginning on March 5, 2025. The Open Classroom Causeway Bay shifted to a new site on January 1, 2026 and immediately opened enrolment for K3-Primary English Bridging Classes plus PN Phonics sessions.

These timetable and location adjustments arrive ahead of the annual Primary One Admission cycle for School Net 12. The net covers government schools such as Hennessy Road Government Primary School and aided schools including St Paul's Convent School and Queen's College.

Programme details at the relocated sites

Kung Lee College continues to run its small-class model in Causeway Bay, focusing on experiential learning and entrepreneurship education that targets six core competencies. Causeway Bay Victoria Kindergarten, which received the HKV-Award 2022 Caring School designation, maintains its use of Columbia University's Teachers College Reading and Writing Project across daily lessons.

Parents note that the January 1, 2026 opening of new English bridging and phonics places at The Open Classroom aligns with the start of the 2025/26 school year planning window. Staff at ARCH Education Center report that the China Taiping Tower premises allow uninterrupted continuation of existing timetables after the March 5, 2025 transition.

Next steps for families

Community members recommend checking current registration status directly with each centre, as both the ARCH Education Center and The Open Classroom Causeway Bay have published updated contact channels following their respective moves. School Net 12 application deadlines remain governed by Education Bureau schedules, and families are advised to confirm supporting documents required by Hennessy Road Government Primary School and the aided schools in the same net.
