New Method College, Secondary school in Waterloo Road Hill, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
New Method College was a secondary school located on Man Fuk Road in Kowloon, Hong Kong, offering instruction in English from Form 1 through Form 7. The institution operated as a full educational campus serving students across all levels of secondary education.
The school was founded in 1951 as the fourth institution to bear this name, having started as a tutorial center in Wanchai before growing into a full college. This growth from a small teaching facility to a complete educational campus reflected the expanding educational opportunities in Hong Kong during that era.
The school's motto combined Chinese characters '格物致知' with the Latin phrase 'Veri Sequaces,' reflecting how the institution blended Eastern and Western educational approaches in its teaching methods and values.
The campus was located near KCR rail tracks, making it convenient for students commuting from different areas of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. The proximity to public transportation links meant that students from various parts of the city could reach the school easily.
The school was the first educational institution in Hong Kong to participate in the Direct Subsidy Scheme, a new funding model for private schools. This program changed how private education was subsidized and supported in the city.
