Our approach is thoroughly multi-cultural and non denominational. A wide range of beliefs and philosophies are covered over the whole curriculum and there is  opportunity to discuss and study many ethical and contemporary issues.

We value the religions present in the school and the community of Hong Kong and encourage students to celebrate their beliefs and to understand the lives of religious believers both in school, in Hong Kong and the world community.
