In Hong Kong, a realistic annual budget per child sits around US$28,500, with most families landing somewhere between roughly US$9,700 and US$33,500; at senior level, that corresponds to about HK$252,000 at the median, with an interquartile spread from roughly HK$88,800 to HK$277,500. With citywide school-fee inflation running at a median 7.8% a year, a five-year posting is unlikely to leave that number static. The market is broad enough to offer genuine curricular choice — 8 IB schools, 5 British and 4 HKDSE across the 11 schools tracked — but admission is not especially forgiving: pressure is rated High, with half of assessed schools constrained, and 4 schools currently operating waitlists.
