Background

Our premises is located in Kowloon Bay, equipped with top-notch facilities to ensure students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) a diversified and pristine learning environment and school life.
Since 2006, APF has been committed to supporting children with ASD and their families, also advocated the need for a designated school for children with ASD, in which they can receive adequate attention for their individual needs and to build upon their strengths effectively, so as to integrate into the community smoothly. APF started the school service in 2007 and our current clinical team consists of over 50 people. To expand our service scale, we began to develop a new school – AP School in 2021, aiming to provide professional and appropriate educational services for more children with ASD.

AP School provides a bilingual curriculum for students with ASD ranging from 5 years 6 months old to 15 years old. We provide each student with a tailor-made Individualised Education Programme (IEP) which paints a clear picture for their specific learning areas, execution plans, and their perceived outcomes. With high teacher-student ratio of 1:2, enabling us to work extensively with each student and their needs.
We use the evidence-based teaching approach Autism Partnership Method (APM) which stems from one of the most studied and trusted therapies for ASD students, the Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) system. The contemporary and natural application of Progressive ABA therapy, which helps students generalise their learning conditions in any environment.
Apart from the formal curriculum like Language, Mathematics, General Studies, Visual Arts, IT, PE, we also provide distinctive curriculum for ASD students offering essential subjects to improve social skills, emotions, behaviours, life skills and other educational needs not offered elsewhere. Extra-curricular activities such as piano, drama and dance lessons are also provided for enhancing the learning abilities and exploring the strengths of each student, so as to help them integrate into the community and lead a fruitful life ahead.
