St. Stephen’s College was founded in 1903 as a Christian boys’ school and is one of Hong Kong’s oldest educational institutions. It relocated to its current campus in Stanley in 1928–1929, where several of its buildings have since been declared historic monuments. The school became co-educational in 1968 and has maintained its tradition of boarding education throughout its history. The campus features a Heritage Trail, established in 2008, which highlights the school’s historical buildings and commemorates its long-standing role in Hong Kong’s education system.
St. Stephen’s College promotes a vibrant community through its extensive co-curricular programme, chapel services, and campus-wide events. The school encourages students to engage in community service through initiatives such as the Service Learning Programme and environmental group Greenergy. Cultural and creative activities, including music performances, drama, and art exhibitions, form an integral part of student life. The school calendar also features major annual events such as Speech Day and inter-house competitions that strengthen school spirit.
