Are there any schools in Hong Kong that teach in Mandarin?


Are there any schools in Hong Kong that teach in Mandarin?
I decided I wanted to become a foreign exchange student to Hong Kong, and I am learning Mandarin. Then I read somewhere that in schools, they teach in Cantonese. I will be a junior in high school. Are there any schools that teach in Mandarin?

I lived there for 25 years and taught in local and international schools. Most local schools do not accept foreign exchange students. They are overcrowded and teach mostly in Cantonese, which is the southern Chinese dialect. Contact the Chinese International School. I dont know if they take foreign exchange students, but they might be open to the idea. They do an IB diploma and all students are required to take Mandarin. Otherwise, you might check out programs in Shanghai or Beijing.
