History
The YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College (YHKCC) was established in September 2003. It is the first directly subsidized international Christian secondary school sponsored by the YMCA of Hong Kong since its establishment in 1901.
The YMCA of Hong Kong has a record of providing all-round social and educational services by means of continuing education, kindergarten education, physical and health education, employment related services, volunteer schemes, personal development and family services. Its hostel, food and beverage services, recreation programmes and international linkage offer strong support to the school.
The YMCA of Hong Kong's stated mission is to fulfill its role as a leading Christian organisation dedicated to the furtherance of justice, peace, hope and truth in our local and international community by:
- Providing opportunities for personal growth and understanding of civic responsibility for our young people, members and the community at large.
- Striving to ascertain social needs and offering services aimed at improving the quality of life of all persons regardless of age, gender, race, culture or religion.
- Fostering international understanding and intercultural harmony.
The school, which is operated under the Direct Subsidy Scheme of the Education Bureau, uses English as the medium of instruction.
Academics and curriculum
All subjects at YHKCC are taught in English (except second languages). YHKCC offers both the Hong Kong and British National Curriculum. The Hong Kong curriculum consisted of the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) and the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE), which has been replaced by the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) as of 2012. The British National Curriculum comprises the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and GCE A/AS-Level .
