The Committee on Home-School Co-operation (CHSC) in Hong Kong is set to launch the Secondary School Profiles 2025/26 tomorrow, December 5, providing critical, verified data to help parents navigate the transition from primary to secondary education. This essential resource, available in both Chinese and English, compiles detailed information on over 400 local secondary schools, aiming to empower families to make informed choices for their Primary Six students as crucial application deadlines loom.
The annual publication serves as the definitive reference guide for those undertaking the complex task of selecting a secondary institution. The CHSC Chairman’s message within the Profiles emphasizes key factors parents should consider during the decision-making process. The data presented covers a comprehensive range of academic and operational aspects, all verified by the individual schools themselves and reflecting their status as of September 2025.
Navigating School Offerings
The new Profiles offer an unparalleled look into the inner workings of each participating secondary school. Key categories detailed for every institution include:
- Mission and Vision: Understanding the core educational philosophy.
- Facilities and Resources: Highlighting available infrastructure and amenities.
- Staffing and Class Structure: Reporting on teacher qualifications and class size ratios.
- Curriculum and Subject Offerings: Detailing required and elective courses.
- Student Support Services: Information on counseling, academic assistance, and welfare programs.
- Learning and Teaching Plans: Outlining pedagogical approaches and educational goals.
Crucially, the CHSC has ensured the utility of the guide by making the online edition a dynamic resource. Schools retain the ability to update their digital profiles as necessary, guaranteeing that parents always have access to the most immediate and accurate information available.
Accessing the Comprehensive Guide
While all Primary Six parents will receive printed copies of the Profiles via their respective primary schools, the electronic version ensures maximum accessibility for the wider public.

Hard copies will also be placed at several public locations for general reference. These reference points include all District Offices, public libraries across the territory, and the Education Bureau’s Regional Education Offices.
This annual publication underscores the collaborative effort between the CHSC and the Education Bureau to provide transparency and support for parents during a stressful period.
