2026-10-28

Tutoring by district · Wan Chai

Wan Chai has 108 schools, the fewest of the 18 districts and level with Tsuen Wan: 24 primary and 22 secondary, almost one to one. With 11 girls schools and 4 boys schools, and Queen’s College, Wah Yan, Marymount, St Paul’s and True Light all within three MTR stops, the school a child attends matters more than the district.

4. Three things the numbers say

Twenty-four primary against 22 secondary schools, a gap of just 2 (-8.3%), the most even split in Hong Kong; the traditional names sit inside two kilometres of each other between Wan Chai and Tin Hau.
Aided schools number 26 (24.1%), government schools 6 (fourth highest of the 18 districts), direct-subsidy 3 and ESF 1; the 72 private schools (66.7%) are mostly kindergartens and international schools such as the French International School, Dalton and Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau.
Eleven girls schools tie with Central and Western for second place behind Kowloon City’s 15; there are 4 boys schools and 93 co-ed schools. Girls schools are 10.2% of the district, the highest share on Hong Kong Island.

Religion and gender: None 53, Christian 27, Catholic 21, Buddhist 3. Boys-only schools 4, girls-only 11, co-educational 93. Single-gender schools are few, yet this is the first column most families ask about.

5. Getting around the district

Main MTR stations: Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Tin Hau and Fortress Hill stations. 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.

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

7. Common questions

How many primary and secondary schools are there in Wan Chai?

The EDB school location data of October 2026 lists 24 primary schools, 22 secondary schools and 29 kindergartens in Wan Chai, 108 schools in total, the fewest of the 18 districts.

Is Causeway Bay or Tin Hau a cross-district trip from Wan Chai?

No. Causeway Bay is one stop and Tin Hau two stops from Wan Chai, and most schools between those stations are within a 15-minute walk, so match the school station to the tutor station and the trip is settled.

Are Wan Chai schools hard to get into?
