About Us
Established in 2009, JEMS Character Academy's vision is to see children as Junior Excellent Members of Society (JEMS) through partnering with parents in building character and helping children discover their true potential.
​
As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education". It is with this belief that character is foundational to the development of children in their learning, well-being and success.

The bright and dynamic environment in the new Wong Chuk Hang campus makes it fun to love learning. We provide a nurturing and accepting environment, which gives children the freedom to explore and express their creativity and opinions. Classrooms are creatively set up and accommodate for the dynamic ways of teaching, a common area consists of a children's library with over 1000 books and a play area with toys and games.
