To provide a steady stream of financial support, and build a platform for society to participate in the development of the school, the foundation has introduced Associate and Corporate Membership programmes. Please contact the Pao School Foundation Office regarding the application criteria and procedures.
The founders of Pao School established the Pao School Scholarship Programme a decade ago with the goal of ensuring the long-term growth and development of the school. Initially, the founders took the lead by making donations to the programme, and over time, an increasing number of generous donors have contributed to the Pao School Foundation to support this initiative. The scholarship programme's primary objective is to foster a culturally diverse and talented student body, while also recognizing outstanding students and promoting the school's diversified development.
Since its inception, the scholarship programme has successfully awarded scholarships to over 700 students. These awards include academic scholarships for students who have shown outstanding achievements in academic or specialty areas, and international scholarships that aim to brings international perspective within the school community. Recipients of these scholarships exemplify the core values of the school and exhibit exceptional talent, ambition, character, and a wide range of personal interests.
"The classmates I have met at Pao School over the years have an open mind, and everyone is willing to share what they are good at, whether academically or in other areas. This creates a fantastic atmosphere on campus and is what I think makes Pao School most distinct."
——Daniel, Scholarship Student
"I'd like to thank YK Pao School for establishing such a fair and impartial scholarship policy. Winning a scholarship is a wonderful recognition of my hard work, and motivates me to study harder. In the future, I shall redouble my efforts to earn the IB diploma, and grow into a successful, happy and international citizen."
——Frank Zhuang, Scholarship Student
Campus development is a key strategic area supported by the Foundation.
We believe that an outstanding campus environment facilitates the success of students in their endeavours. With the Naming Right Programme, our Primary School and High School campuses will be continuously improved. Furthermore, we intend for this programme to help instil a philanthropic spirit in the student body, allowing our young scholars to become devoted global citizens.
Your generous support in the Naming Right Programme will play a key role in Pao School's long-term development. Currently, both the Primary School and High School campuses are participating in the programme. Please contact the Pao School Foundation Office for more details.
I am truly impressed and touched by the founders' efforts on behalf of Pao School. The challenges are tremendous, and the obstacles are great, but the experience can be most rewarding too. I am very proud of all that you have done. The Woo family is more than happy to support such a good cause.

Pao is a person I deeply admire. My experience with him had a profound impact on my life, helping shape me for the better. Throughout his life, Sir YK Pao continued to promote his motto: 'exercise persistently, use sparingly, work diligently'. As such, I made a donation to help build the fitness centre, naming it the Persistence Fitness Centre in hopes that Pao School can carry on Sir YK Pao's spirit and continue to cultivate excellent talent.

I have always believed that 'knowledge can change one's destiny,' and that an investment in education yields the greatest returns. YK Pao School represents a new model for education in China, emphasising whole-person education and cultivating a new generation of talents with an international perspective. My wife and I have donated to a pottery classroom, in hopes that students not only be able to 'mould' their spirits in the creative process, but also learn about traditional arts and crafts. We hope to see them pass on Chinese cultures and traditions, develop their knowledge of the world's many cultures, and become leaders in the international arena.

Teaching is one of the worthiest career pursuits. Devoted to the mission of bringing world-class global education to China, Sir YK Pao and his family founded Pao School. We can learn much from their great accomplishments. The Pao family has been a pioneer in the field of philanthropy in China; from them, we learn about the importance of social responsibility. As such, we have donated to build this club. It is our modest contribution to the development of Pao School.
