Renaissance College (Chinese: 啓新書院, abbreviated: RCHK) is one of the two private independent international schools in Hong Kong, the other being Discovery College. RCHK is in Ma On Shan, Hong Kong, serving primary and secondary students. It is managed by the English Schools Foundation (ESF). It provides IB Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme , Diploma Programme and International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme to all students according to their year level. It is one of three ESF schools in Kowloon and the New Territories that provide schooling for secondary students, the others being King George V School and Sha Tin College. The location of this school is at 5 Hang Ming Street, which is near the MTR Heng On station of the Ma On Shan Line.
On 26 October 2001, Phoenix International School's former school, Canadian Overseas International School, closed because of financial difficulties owing to the bankruptcy of the company which provided financial support to the school. This resulted in approximately 380 students unable to attend school. The Education and Manpower Bureau (EMB) decided to set up a temporary school named Phoenix International School that was managed by ESF. Meanwhile, the EMB promised the ESF to give them land for a permanent campus. The permanent campus was completed in 2006 and named Renaissance College, officially replacing Phoenix International School in September. The school was officially given its status of IB World School in 2007. Mr. Peter Kenny, principal of the College since its foundation, was succeeded by Dr. Harry Brown in summer 2009, the current Principal.
