Mu Kuang English School is a secondary school in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, housed in a simple but neat building on Kung Lok Road. The school offers instruction with Chinese as the main language, supplemented by English classes, and has classrooms with enough space for learning activities.
The school was founded in the 1950s to provide free education to children from poor families, beginning with tents at Lo Fu Ngam. In 2013, it officially became a DSS school, giving it more freedom in curriculum planning and student selection.
The school was founded by Elsie Tu, a respected figure in Hong Kong who championed education and social justice. Visitors can see the Elsie Tu Museum, located in her former home, which displays her life and legacy.
The school is located in a busy but safe neighborhood, and students can use sports facilities nearby after classes. Visiting is best during regular school hours, when the school is in full operation and daily life is visible.
The school has an Amazon Biology Classroom with over 20 rare animals like chameleons and piranhas that students care for in teams, gaining real experience in biology and conservation. This special classroom brings science lessons to life through hands-on learning with living organisms.
