It offers both primary and secondary education on one campus. The school opened in August 2008, replacing another ESF school, Bauhinia School. Discovery College has five houses, and provides education from year 1 to year 13. Discovery College was established by the English Schools Foundation to serve the needs of the local and expatriate communities in Hong Kong. It is a full Years 1 to 13 school offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) for Years 1-6, Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Years 7-11, and Diploma Programme (DP) for Years 12-13. Under the Private Independent School Scheme, 70% of the students of Discovery College must be Hong Kong permanent residents.[2] HistoryPlans to set up Discovery College as one of ESF's first private schools began in 1999.[3] As a private ESF school, Discovery College would not receive recurrent government subsidy. In 2001, the Education and Manpower Bureau (EMB) granted ESF a lot of land in Ma On Shan and in Discovery Bay to build two primary-cum-secondary schools under the Private Independent School Scheme.[2] The Discovery Bay site would eventually become the permanent campus of Discovery College. Designed by Integrated Design Associates, the permanent campus was built between 2003 and 2008.[4] The 70,000 sq ft campus cost HK$290 million,[5] of which HK$137 million was granted by the Hong Kong Government.[6] Operated by ESF Educational Services Limited (ESL), an ESF subsidiary, Discovery College needs to repay ESF its capital costs of HK$168 million within 20 years of opening.[7] In 2007, the primary section of Discovery College opened in a temporary site in Lai King, merging with former ESF primary school Bauhinia School.[8] About two thirds of the school's students were transferred from Bauhinia School.[5] The 450 students moved into the Discovery Bay campus when it began operation on 20 August 2008.[5] CurriculumDiscovery College adopts all three of the International Baccalaureate programmes.[9] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dbpis.esf.edu.hk/index.aspx?nodeID=1061&langNo=1|title=Principal Appointment Confirmed|accessdate=2007-07-31|author=English Schools Foundation|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://archive.is/20070927021248/http://www.dbpis.esf.edu.hk/index.aspx?nodeID=1061&langNo=1|archivedate=27 September 2007|df=dmy-all}} {{Esfschool}}{{International schools in Hong Kong}}{{coord|22.3038|114.0142|display=t}}{{HongKong-edu-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite report |date=23 October 2004 |title=Government subsidies to the English Schools Foundation |url=http://www.aud.gov.hk/pdf_e/e43ch03.pdf |publisher= Audit Commission|page= 2-3|docket= |access-date= 28 March 2018|location= Hong Kong}} 3. ^{{cite news |last=Forestier |first=Katherine |date=2 September 2006 |title=Renaissance College Puts Fresh Face on the ESF |url=http://www.scmp.com/article/562500/renaissance-college-puts-fresh-face-esf |work=South China Morning Post |location=Hong Kong |access-date=28 March 2018 }} 4. ^{{cite magazine |author= |title=Discovery College |url= http://www.building.com.hk/feature/2009_0630discovery.pdf|magazine= Building Journal|location= Hong Kong|publisher= |date= November 2008|access-date= 30 November 2018|page=36}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news |last1=Heron |first1=Liz |title=ESF on a mission of green Discovery |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/642385/esf-mission-green-discovery |accessdate=30 November 2018 |work=South China Morning Post |date=21 June 2008}} 6. ^{{cite hansard|jurisdiction= Hong Kong Special Administrative Region |title= Official Record of Proceedings|url= http://www.legco.gov.hk/yr10-11/english/counmtg/hansard/cm0601-translate-e.pdf|house= Legislative Council|date= 1 June 2011|page=11192|speaker= Jasper Tsang Yok-Sing|position=President}} 7. ^{{cite news |last1=Heron |first1=Liz |title=ESF chief admits levy could have been avoided |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/731989/esf-chief-admits-levy-could-have-been-avoided |work=South China Morning Post |date=30 November 2010}} 8. ^{{cite news |last1=Heron |first1=Liz |title=Discovery day at new DB college |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/641457/discovery-day-new-db-college |accessdate=30 November 2018 |work=South China Morning Post |date=14 June 2008}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.discovery.edu.hk/content.php?contentid=7|title=Curriculum – General|accessdate=2007-08-30|author=Discovery College|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928181933/http://www.discovery.edu.hk/content.php?contentid=7|archivedate=28 September 2007|df=dmy-all}} 3 : English Schools Foundation schools|Association of China and Mongolia International Schools|International Baccalaureate schools in Hong Kong |
