Brief History of Amoy College
Amoy College was founded by The Chinese Christian Church of Amoy. The school was built on a government-granted plot of land covering over 40,000 square feet. Construction began on 4 December 1955 and was completed in September 1957, initially providing eight single-storey classrooms to accommodate both morning and afternoon sessions of an English primary school.
On 7 July 1958, a main assembly hall was added, followed by a dedication ceremony on 28 November 1959 to mark its completion.
In March 1967, the school expanded with the addition of second and third floors, which included ten classrooms and two science laboratories. In September of the same year, an English secondary school was established. Further development took place in March 1972, with the construction of a three-storey North Wing housing nine classrooms. In May 1975, the East Wing was added, consisting of seven classrooms, administrative offices for both the primary and secondary schools, a library, and an indoor sports facility. These expansions increased the total number of classrooms to 34, alongside other facilities.
The secondary school initially offered three Form 1 classes and one Form 2 class in 1967, gradually adding new classes each year until it extended to Form 7. Following the government’s termination of the Bought-Place Scheme for private schools in 2000, Amoy College transitioned into a senior secondary school. In response to the implementation of the “3-3-4” education reform in Hong Kong, the secondary school temporarily ceased operations in 2014. The institution later applied to the Education Bureau to establish a kindergarten and specialized courses.
