School Profile Victoria Educational Organisation (VEO) has been a leader in early childhood education in Hong Kong since its establishment in 1965. With the motto, “Bilingual Learners Today, World Citizens Tomorrow – Love to Read, Eager to Inspire, Learn to Care”, VEO aims to instil a love of learning, a strong sense of social responsibility, and global vision at an early age. It has a strong, well-established presence throughout Hong Kong with eight nurseries and kindergartens located around the city. Setting itself apart from other preschools in Hong Kong, VEO provides an all-encompassing, rich multicultural learning environment that blends both Eastern and Western cultures. It offers two streams of classes: Trilingual (English, Putonghua, and Cantonese) and Bilingual (English and Putonghua). Through its effective one teacher-one language co-teaching approach, teachers who are native speakers of the languages work as a team to provide a total immersion language environment.

Being the pioneer in early childhood education, VEO took the lead to conduct a research initiative with Project Zero, at the Harvard Graduate School of Education to understand how maker-centered learning can provide a framework for early years students to develop skills and knowledge within and beyond the STEAM disciplines. With its tireless efforts in providing quality curriculum, VEO is the only Columbia University Teachers College “Reading and Writing” Project (TCRWP) preschool in Hong Kong that is also accredited by the International Baccalaureate (IB) Organisation. Subject to interview results, VEO students are given priority in admission to affiliated Victoria Shanghai Academy.
