Christian Zheng Sheng College, private school in Hong Kong
Christian Zheng Sheng College is a secondary school in the Islands District on Lantau Island in Hong Kong that serves young people facing drug-related or behavioral challenges. The campus provides boarding facilities and combines classroom instruction with vocational training in areas such as cooking and manual skills.
The school was established in 1985 and registered as a private institution in 1998 to serve young people with drug-related issues. It remains the only school in Hong Kong specifically designed for students involved in drug offenses.
The school is named after a doctor and philanthropist, reflecting its roots in medical care and spiritual support for those in need. This heritage shapes how the place approaches helping students rebuild their lives through both practical learning and personal reflection.
The campus is located in a remote part of Lantau and is accessible by boat from Cheung Chau or by road, so visitors should plan extra travel time. Facilities are basic and functional without air conditioning or hot water, so it helps to prepare for simple conditions.
The school operates a small shop on Cheung Chau where students prepare and sell fast food like pizza as part of their training program. This hands-on work experience outside campus helps them develop social skills and improve their chances of finding employment.
