YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College

The YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College ("YHKCC") was established in September 2003. It is the first secondary school sponsored by the YMCA of Hong Kong. Our school, which is operated under the Direct Subsidy Scheme of the Education Bureau, uses English as the medium of instruction and we are the only English-medium school in the islands district in Hong Kong.

YHKCC now has over 70% international students from over 45 countries, offering a dynamic international environment for students. All of our teachers are university graduates; 42% of our teachers possess master's qualifications. Over 40% of our teachers are from overseas including UK, USA, Canada, Ireland, France, Spain, Japan, India, Korea, Australia, Nigeria, Philippines, etc. They bring with them their own country's history and culture. Our students' education is enriched by this cultural diversity which gives a great preparation for life in today's globalised world. Our aim is to enable our students to become confident and happy 'global citizens', with equal respect for and values of one other's cultures.

The YHKCC is a direct subsidy secondary school with English as a medium instruction. We are located in Tung Chung on a beautiful campus with great facilities, and offer an international style education based on Christian values.

Our students come from over 40 countries and most are able to speak at least 3 languages. On our campus, you will find smiling and happy faces both inside and outside the classroom. We pride ourselves in our diverse student body, who are talented in sports, music, visual and performing arts, and showcase their talents confidently and with pride.

Currently the school has 36 classes in 6 year groups, with an average class size of 25 students. The YHKCC offers both the Hong Kong Curriculum (HKDSE) and an International Curriculum (IGCSE / GCE A-levels). Both curricula are internationally recognized and the majority of our students pursue higher education after they graduate. We use student-centered teaching approaches with an emphasis on whole-person growth, and believe that academics, extra-curricular activities, life skills and values are all important parts of a young person’s growth and education. We hope you will come to the school and meet our team of committed and hard working teaching staff. They not only look after our students’ academic learning, but also care for them pastorally and provide other types of learning experiences.

We strive to provide different platforms for our students to grow and shine. Whether it is an on-campus programme, an exchange programme, overseas tour or a service opportunity, we are always looking for ways to allow each student to further develop their talents. As a Christian school, we also emphasize “values education” based on the Christian faith. We believe that a young person’s values shape who they become, so instilling the YHKCC’s five core values in our students is vitally important in preparation for the future. In addition to striving for academic excellence, we also wish our graduates to be citizens who live out our five core values: act with integrity, being responsible, serve one another in love, respect ourselves and others, and build a community that cares.
