Tutoring in Sai Kung: 40 Primary and 38 Secondary Schools, Transport and Study Resources

2026-10-28

Tutoring by district · Sai Kung

Sai Kung has 242 schools, 40 primary and 38 secondary, and all 242 are co-ed, with no single-sex school at all. Four MTR stations in Tseung Kwan O carry most of the population while Sai Kung town and Clear Water Bay depend on buses, so living in Sai Kung means two very different tutoring arrangements.

4. Three things the numbers say

All 242 schools are co-ed: no boys school and no girls school, one of five districts in Hong Kong where that holds, with Yuen Long, Tai Po, North and Islands.
Eleven direct-subsidy schools, 2 ESF and 3 government schools against just 47 aided ones (19.4%), the lowest aided share in this dataset, so the direct-subsidy and private routes around Tseung Kwan O are more visible than the traditional aided route.
Private schools reach 179, or 74.0%, the highest of any district, but most are kindergartens (79) and child-care centres; only 78 schools are actually primary or secondary, so the headline total overstates provision.

Religion and gender: None 157, Christian 68, Catholic 9, Buddhist 4. Boys-only schools 0, girls-only 0, co-educational 242. Single-gender schools are few, yet this is the first column most families ask about.

5. Getting around the district

Main MTR stations: Po Lam, Hang Hau, Tseung Kwan O and LOHAS Park stations, with minibus and bus for Sai Kung town. Door-to-door travel between a school and a lesson usually stays under half an hour; when a timetable leaves only one free hour, an online lesson beats crossing stations.

Fix the school station first, then the tutor station, and only then look at travel time: inside one district the difference between stations can reach twenty minutes.

6. Lesson-prep guides that match

Tutoring does not start from nothing. Each guide below names the prior knowledge, a 45 or 60 minute lesson flow, a read-aloud script and an exit check, so tutor and parent can follow one process.

Resource	What it covers
Lesson-prep guides, full index	one page per chapter, with a read-aloud script
Primary maths guides	20 chapters: fractions, area, rate, percentages
Primary English guides	12 chapters: grammar, reading, writing
Primary Chinese guides	12 chapters: comprehension, punctuation, rhetoric
Primary general studies guides	8 chapters: health, environment, science
Secondary (DSE) guides	ten subjects, 60-minute chapters mapped to DSE
IB guides	maths AA, biology and economics: method and evaluation

How many primary and secondary schools are there in Sai Kung?

The EDB school location data (October 2026) lists 40 primary schools, 38 secondary schools and 79 kindergartens in Sai Kung, 242 schools in total.

How long is Sai Kung town to Tseung Kwan O?

There is no MTR in Sai Kung town; minibus 101M and bus 92 take about 25 to 30 minutes to Po Lam, so for two lessons a week most families go online or find a tutor in town.

None. All 242 schools are co-ed; five districts have no single-sex school at all: Sai Kung, Yuen Long, Tai Po, North and Islands.
