As a former homeschool student in Hong Kong, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and The University of Hong Kong (HKU).

​

In my heart, PolyU and HKU are truly international and forward-looking universities. They recognize that students come from a wide range of educational backgrounds and that there are different pathways to learning and achievement. Their openness to considering students with diverse educational experiences reflects a genuine commitment to educational diversity, equal opportunity, inclusion, and resilience in education.

​

For many homeschool students, the journey is not always easy. Homeschooling families in Hong Kong often face misunderstanding, social pressure, and uncertainty about future academic opportunities. At times, the path to university can seem unclear for students who choose a route different from the mainstream.

​

PolyU and HKU have given hope to many of us. By being open to applicants from non-traditional educational backgrounds, they demonstrate that potential, dedication, character, and a love of learning are qualities worth recognizing. To me, this reflects the spirit of an inclusive and internationally minded university.

​

I am deeply grateful for your vision and your willingness to recognize talent in its many forms. Your openness has encouraged many homeschool students to dream bigger and to believe that their educational journey is valued and respected.

​

Thank you, PolyU and HKU, for embracing diversity, supporting different pathways to learning, and giving hope to homeschool students and their families in Hong Kong.

With sincere appreciation,

​​​
