True Light Middle School of Hong Kong, school in Hong Kong
True Light Middle School of Hong Kong is a secondary school in the Wan Chai District, on Hong Kong Island. The campus includes classrooms, science laboratories, and outdoor areas spread across a compact urban site typical of this part of the city.
The school was founded by American Presbyterian missionaries who started educating girls in Guangzhou in the 19th century. It later moved to Hong Kong, where it has continued operating without interruption to this day.
The name "True Light" reflects the school's roots in Christian mission education, a tradition still visible in its motto and chapel activities on campus. Many alumni maintain close ties with the school, returning for events that mark the school year.
Because this is an active school, access to the campus is generally restricted during school hours on weekdays. Anyone wishing to see the grounds should consider visiting during school holidays or on weekends.
The school began as a girls-only institution in China, making it one of the earliest places to offer formal education to women in the region. This history makes it one of the oldest schools of its kind in Hong Kong with direct roots on the Chinese mainland.
