The original Stubbs Road campus, located on Hong Kong Island, opened with three Primary School students and one teacher. This campus was known for the number of steps that needed to be climbed to reach the red front doors.
HKA was one of the first schools in Hong Kong to be awarded International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) authorisation. The school later achieved IB Diploma Programme (DP) authorisation in 2010 and Middle Years Programme (MYP) authorisation in 2013.
