Adequate and comprehensive support is given to the students.  Over the years, the school has recruited professionals from different disciplines, teachers with special education training, Native English-speaking teacher, speech therapist, occupational therapist, play therapist, nurse, social worker and educational psychologist.  It is expected that the professional knowledge and capacity of the school staff will not only provide holistic education for the students but also nurture and inspire their potentials.

At Kei Shun School, the ethos of excellence is a long-established source of pride for the teachers.  The school adheres to the principle of diversified teaching by developing tailor-made learning materials and assigning students into different groups according to their learning capacities.

Besides, with the focus on e-learning and career planning, the school would not only imbue the students with a strong moral compass and a social conscience but also equip them with independent living skills that will guide them through their lives.

The school promises:

• To provide indiscriminatory support to the students.  No one will be left behind.
