The mission of Diocesan Boys' School stands as providing a liberal education based on Christian principles for the development of a whole person of good character, the acquisition of creative and critical thinking skills and the cultivation of multiple intelligence maximizing students' diverse talents. Our school policy reassures our prime concern of equipping students with sound knowledge, worthy personal qualities, dynamic social and technical skills to achieve success in this rapidly advancing pluralistic society.
The vision of our school is to equip our students with the sound knowledge, worthy qualities, dynamic social and technical skills they need to become contributors to society and leaders with integrity in a diverse and ever-changing world.
To realize this stated mission, the school has set the following objectives: To offer a well-balanced education for the development of the WHOLE person. To maintain well-established school traditions.To nurture a unique cultural identity. To achieve self-respect and self-esteem so that each student can be a man of integrity, discipline, devotion, industriousness, courage and gratitude. To promote multiple intelligence so that students can fully develop their talents. To equip our students to become life-long learners with a solid foundation of knowledge, essential qualities of good character and proper social and technical skills in order to achieve success in the future.
The Diocesan Boys' School Committee Incorporation Ordinance (Cap. 1123 of the Laws of Hong Kong) enacted in 1969 gives the School Committee the full power ‘to manage, administer and operate the Diocesan Boys' School'. The School Committee focuses on setting school policies, the mission and vision, the raising, management and allocation of funds and managing a relationship with the Diocese, relevant Government departments and other educational institutes. The working group of the School Committee closely monitors the use of fundings as well as the implementation of the school policies. Members of the School Committee also sit on the School Management Committee and the Consultative Committee to ensure the smooth running of the school and a continuous exchange of views between teachers, parents and students.
The recommended syllabuses specified by the Curriculum Development Institute form the backbone of the DBS curriculum. Starting from the school year 2009-2010, the new senior secondary curriculum is being adopted in all of the subsidized secondary schools as well as those under the Direct Subsidy scheme. Upon completing the final year of Secondary Six, students will take part in the first Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examinations in 2012.
The school is to provide a well-balanced education for the development of a whole person through effective means and agreeable strategies. Teaching and learning under both the reformed local curriculum and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme aims to enable our students to excel their language and numerical abilities, to broaden their knowledge base and to possess capabilities of critical thinking, independent learning and interpersonal skills.

This school is among the best of the best in Hong Kong, with a wide variety of facilities and talented students, as well as decent teachers. It provides an International Baccalaureate programme for its students. The school is versatile in all categories, with an emphasis on academics, music and sports. The sports grounds and gymnasium are large, and there is an entire Concert Hall for Musicians to perform in. Other than these wonderful features, there are also lots of school laboratories, and plenty of benches for students to sit on.

I came here to visit Diocesan Boys' School, a high-end school. Today, a large group of male students played Western music (I am a layman and I know a lot about appreciation). The students who played were very attentive. Parents, relatives and friends were also fascinated by what they heard. This high-end school is not only Cultivate talents. There is also an emphasis on sports and music. Hong Kong should vigorously develop these pillars of the future.

Teaches more than just books and curriculum. Focus on teaching students team work, loyalty, self worth, independent thinking and to strive for excellence in whatever they do.

One of the best boy’s school in Hong Kong. And it ain’t lying. With a wide variety of facilities(swimming pool, gym, basketball courts, football court, track and field and a lot more), if you are a student here, you are definitely very lucky to enjoy these. The air is fresh and you can go up at anytime to see this prestigious school. They hold events from time to time such as Garden Fete, Open Day and also concerts in third auditorium. A great place for studying ?

Sometimes called the best boys' school for a reason. Great facilities, especially considering its location. Site itself is historical. Feel almost too privileged for having the opportunity to be educated here.
