[3 July 2026] Hong Kong Baptist University Affiliated School Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School (HKBUAS Wong Kam Fai) has once again achieved remarkable success in English education. In the 2026 TOEFL Junior® examination, the school ranked first among all participating schools in Hong Kong. With over 100 Grade 7–9 candidates, the school achieved an impressive overall average score of 874 out of 900. Notably, 22 students attained a perfect score of 900—representing nearly 18% of all candidates—a testament to the school’s strong foundation and long-term commitment to excellence in English Language.

In addition, Grade 6 students from the primary division have continued to participate in the TOEFL Junior examination, and this year 11 of them achieved a perfect score—once again demonstrating the solid English foundation built at the primary level. Participation was entirely voluntary—reflecting students’ intrinsic motivation and self-driven learning attitude.

Chief Principal Dr. Benjamin Chan, expressed his pride in the students’ accomplishments and encouraged them to continue striving for excellence in language learning. Associate Vice Principal (Academic Affairs) and English Language Panel Head Mr. Jeff Chong believed “winning this award not only demonstrates our students' solid English proficiency, but also highlights the joint efforts of HKBUAS's primary and secondary divisions in nurturing an immersive English learning environment.”

Several perfect-score students also shared their joy and reflections:

Global Recognition of English Proficiency  

The TOEFL Junior® test, designed by ETS for students aged 11–17, is an internationally recognized assessment of English proficiency. It evaluates listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in academic contexts, with scores aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and the Lexile Framework for Reading.

Such international certification is invaluable for students’ academic and future development:

• Foundation for Further Studies: TOEFL Junior® serves as a bridge to the TOEFL iBT, preparing students for higher-level international English examinations and applications to overseas schools and universities.
• Learning Progress Planning: Detailed score reports highlight strengths and areas for improvement, enabling teachers and parents to tailor learning plans for balanced development across all language skills.
• Enhancing Global Competitiveness: Strong TOEFL and IELTS results are key entry requirements for top universities worldwide. HKBUAS Wong Kam Fai students consistently excel, with an average IELTS score of 7.8—surpassing the admission requirements of many leading institutions.

Building Strong Foundations for Excellence  

HKBUAS Wong Kam Fai has long emphasized building a solid language foundation through its school-based curriculum and diverse teaching activities. The outstanding results in TOEFL Junior® and IELTS reaffirm the effectiveness of its educational approach.

Guided by the philosophy of “12‑year through‑train primary and secondary education”, the school provides students with a coherent and systematic learning journey — from building strong language fundamentals in the primary years to developing advanced thinking skills and preparing for international examinations in the secondary years.

English proficiency is not only a cornerstone of academic success but also a vital asset for students to broaden their horizons and thrive on the global stage. Looking ahead, HKBUAS Wong Kam Fai remains committed to its educational mission, providing the highest quality learning experiences and empowering students to shine internationally.
