Mission Statement

The school adopts "至善至正" as its motto. It aims to offer students a holistic education upon Christian principles and Confucianism "止於至善" from Great Learning (大學).

"Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the eyes of the LORD thy God." -- Deuteronomy 12:28

"Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he instruct sinners in the way." -- Psalm 25:8 King James Bible

History

The Hong Kong branch was established in 1933 in Ho Man Tin. Initially, only primary school education was offered; a junior high school division using Chinese as medium of instruction was established in 1938, a senior high division was established in 1940. The school was suspended during Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II. Students and staff went to Macau and mainland China. In 1945, the school moved back to a temporary site in Kowloon Tong and in 1946, the school moved back to Ho Man Tin. In 1950, the school was renamed from a Hong Kong branch of the Canton school to the present name. In 1952, a new extension on the land donated by Hong Kong Government was built and completed in September 1953. The premises are located at Pui Ching Road which was named after the school.
