A formal signing ceremony was held on Thursday. Founding co-chairs of the new institution, David Cardwell and Danny Wang Tak-chi, signed the collaborative agreement with the school supervisor of Anchors Academy, Margaret Choi Lee Wai-lai; the executive director and school manager of Anchors Academy, Carmen Choi Ka-man; and the founder and executive chair of GEC Academy, Yan Sheng.
The institution is set to become Hong Kong's first independent sixth-form college. It will cater specifically to older students from Year 10 through Year 13, dedicating its entire focus to the International General Certificate of Secondary Education and A-Level academic programs.
Its registration application is currently under review by the Education Bureau, with an official opening targeted for the 2027/28 academic year.
David Cardwell, a former pro-vice-chancellor at the University of Cambridge, has been appointed as the founding co-chair to spearhead the school's academic planning and curriculum design.
He said that the college aims to deliver future-ready learning experiences and nurture well-rounded leaders for the global stage.
This approach will be supplemented by regular guest lectures from visiting international academics, with the overarching goal of developing well-rounded global leaders.
The two-story campus will feature 18 classrooms and five laboratories, as well as computer, dance and fitness facilities.
