Medium of Instruction & Curriculum
Chinese is the primary Medium of Instruction (MOI).
Curriculum: Secondary education comprises three years of junior secondary and three years of senior secondary education leading to the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) Examination.
Teaching Language Policy: In S.1 to S.3, we conduct Extended Learning Activities in English for some non-language subjects. In addition, various English activities, such as English drama and English Days, are organized as extra-curricular activities. Besides, S.2 and S.3 Mathematics are taught in English in some classes according to the ability of students. In senior forms, either medium of instruction are adopted according to the ability of students and nature of subjects. We organize various bridging courses to help pre-S.4 students adapt to the change in medium of instruction (English).
Secondary One Admission
The Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) System is Hong Kong's official mechanism for distributing subsidized Secondary One places to primary school graduates. The allocation operates in two distinct, consecutive phases. First, the Discretionary Places (DP) stage allows students to apply directly to individual schools based on academic and interview merits. Second, remaining places are funneled into the Central Allocation (CA) stage, which is subdivided into Part A (unrestricted, territory-wide choices) and Part B (restricted, district-based choices). The table below summarises past years’ allocation figures, including DP places, Central Allocation Part A and Part B places, reserved places, and total places.
| Year | DP | CA:A | CA:B | Resv | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 40 | 8 | 76 | 8 | 132 |
| 2021 | 40 | 8 | 76 | 8 | 132 |
| 2022 | 40 | 8 | 76 | 8 | 132 |
| 2023 | 40 | 8 | 76 | 8 | 132 |
| 2024 | 40 | 8 | 76 | 8 | 132 |
| 2025 | 40 | 8 | 76 | 8 | 132 |
| 2026 | 40 | 8 | 76 | 8 | 132 |
Note: SSPA-related figures were obtained from the EDB in December and in April of each year.

Aided schools account for approximately 76% of all secondary schools and receive government funding to provide free secondary education. No school fee is charged. By comparison, around 12% are DSS schools, 6% are government schools, and 5% are private schools. Only DSS and private schools generally charge school fees.
