Founded in 2000, HKMA David Li Kwok Po College[2] provides bilingual and multicultural education to learners in Hong Kong. As an English Medium of Instruction school, all school subjects are taught in English, except Chinese language for junior forms, which is taught in Putonghua.

The college's team of teachers come from Anglophone countries such as Hong Kong, Canada, Malaysia, France, India and the UK. In 2010, the College has maintained a ratio whereby more than 15% of their teaching staff has been recruited from outside of Hong Kong. Furthermore, 97% of its teaching staff possess both recognized university degrees and teaching qualifications.

The Student Council

Opened in 2012, the College has set up a Student Council as a representative of the student body as a whole. The aims of the council are:

  • To develop a sense of belonging and a good practice of citizenship in students through the involvement and the organization of activities.
  • To reflect the opinions of our schoolmates to the school and enhance the relationship between teachers and the students.
  • To strive for the welfare of our schoolmates
  • To hold diversified internal school activities and encourage our schoolmates to participate.
  • To encourage our schoolmates to show concern about others in the society.
  • To enhance friendships among schoolmates
  • To act as role models to the students of the school.
  • To broaden the students horizons through joint school activities.

During holidays and school breaks, the College organizes overseas study tours (e.g. linguistic and cultural immersion experiences in the UK, Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, New Zealand, France and Mainland China).
