In 2018, Stamford announced its on-campus facilities enhancement project[5] to support the development of its high school curriculum; the project was completed in 2021.[6]

Campus

[edit]

Stamford American School Hong Kong took over the former premises of New Method College on 25 Man Fuk Road, Ho Man Tin, Kowloon, Hong Kong as its campus.[7] The school was refurbished before opening and fitted with new facilities including a swimming pool and a technology lab.[8]
