About Us

Philosophy

Smarticle English was created after several individuals working in the schools and education centers in Hong Kong recognized the strong need for a center that makes learning fun and engages children in a variety of activities that encompass all types of learners. Many centers in Hong Kong fail to identify the needs of the individual child. Smarticle English has created a place that caters to the specific needs of students. Smarticle English is determined to provide your child with the fundamentals of English while making it an exciting and invigorating process.  In addition, Smarticle’s English classes incorporate the important social and developmental skills into its curriculum. Smarticle English caters to the individual learning needs of each of its students, while maintaining the highest educational standards.
