The schools don't offer them, as they aren't a part of the public curriculum. People are still campaigning for it.
Apart from that there are free Chinese classes at some churches, that's about it.
Outside classes are simply not enough though, there's no way a foreign child could catch up to local children who've been immersed in Chinese since birth. And the public Chinese curriculum is a challenge even for locals.
Lastly, Hong Kong people speak Cantonese which is considerably more difficult that Putonghua which most of China speaks. (More complex characters, more than double the tones)
