CTFEG was established in 2017 within the family office of Chow Tai Fook Enterprises (CTFE). CTFE and its leadership team have enjoyed a long, celebrated history of involvement in education for over 40 years. From becoming a school-sponsoring body to supervising and managing K-12 schools, engaging in education philanthropy and research, and making education investments, to name a few key areas, CTFE’s many and varied education-related activities have operated independently of one another but, when taken together, have played a crucial role in impacting the kindergarten to secondary (K-12) education space in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
A Leading Integrated Education Group Based in Hong Kong
Today, K-12 education is at the heart of CTFEG’s vision and mission, serving students, parents and educators through kindergarten, primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong and partner schools in Mainland China. CTFEG schools include Victoria Educational Organisation, Victoria Playpark, DSC International School and ARCH Education. CTFEG is also the strategic partner of Benenden Bilingual School Guangzhou.
Our mission is to bring together a myriad of resources and stakeholders to achieve greater collaboration, efficiency and opportunities to drive K-12 schools and education forward to be future ready.
We achieve this by creating a synergistic education ecosystem, developing our network of stakeholders and services, and expanding and enhancing our K-12 schools.
We are passionate about educating, leading, innovating, serving and making an impact.
We maintain an ethical culture of trust, respect and open communication throughout the organisation.
We believe in the culture of teamwork, and the power of partnerships with devoted educators and stakeholders to encourage cross-disciplinary collaborations.
We seek excellence in our talented and diverse team of educators and staff who, in turn, drive the group to deliver high-quality education and opportunities.
We are curious, creative, reflective and adaptable. We imagine new possibilities and find novel ways to solve problems, drive progress and stay relevant.
By instilling a can-do attitude, we foster a growth mindset culture across our organisation to embrace opportunities and be responsive to the changing needs of the world and to deliver on our goals.
