Background
In a 2014 school allocation exercise organized by the Hong Kong Government, Esol Education was one of five successful groups amongst 46 who submitted bids for new international school site licences.[3] Esol was assigned the former Buddhist Hui Yuan College in Tai Po.
The seven-story, 12,000 m2 facility was built in 1992. In 2004, a new wing was added. In 2012, Buddhist Hui Yuan College was closed due to declining enrolment. Esol Education retrofitted the entire exterior and interior of the building. In addition to providing all new floors, ceilings, walls, plumbing, electrical, millwork, etc., Esol also refitted the premises to increase multi-purpose space, added learning technology capabilities, and altered the Science and specialty areas to bring them in line with curriculum plans and the current pedagogical approach to teaching and learning.
