Since its establishment in 1967, CCC Ming Kei College has remained steadfast in its mission of providing whole-person education. Guided by our school motto, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” we have, over the decades, laid a strong academic foundation while cultivating students’ character, with the vision of nurturing Ming Kei students to become Chinese citizens who are rooted in the nation and engaged with the world.

As the only co-educational Christian EMI grammar school in the Yau Tsim Mong District, our school offers a unique balance of academic excellence and holistic development. Except for Chinese Language, Chinese History and Putonghua, all subjects are taught in English. More than half of our teachers hold Master’s degrees, and our team includes native English-speaking teachers, ensuring that students build a solid foundation in biliteracy and trilingualism. While we attach importance to public examination results, we also nurture students’ talents through a three-tier gifted education framework. In collaboration with universities and external organisations, we have developed innovative programmes such as AI and cloud computing courses to equip students with the skills needed for a fast-changing era. At the same time, we enrich their artistic sensibilities through courses in ceramics and Cantonese opera, enabling them to grow in both intellect and aesthetics. In addition, our whole-school promotion of a growth mindset encourages students to build confidence, embrace challenges, and strive for continual improvement.

The integration of national education and signature programmes is central to our vision. Our patriotic education follows the four-tier framework of “knowledge, affection, intention and action.” Junior form curricula connect learning across subjects with themes such as Cantonese opera culture, contributions of overseas Chinese, and the spirit of martial arts. Beyond the classroom, students participate in cultural weeks, visit our Chinese Culture Room, and join study tours to Hunan and Gansu, where they gain firsthand insights into food security and deepen their sense of national identity. In our STREAM curriculum, “reading” is integrated with STEAM learning. Students apply laser technology to design campus models and compete in AI obstacle-avoidance car races. Our ceramics programme, launched in 1972, remains a hallmark of Ming Kei: from making terracotta warriors in junior forms to creating Chinese tea sets in senior forms, students now combine traditional craftsmanship with modern laser techniques, nurturing both creativity and cultural confidence.

Our motto, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” is not merely a slogan but a lived experience in our students’ daily lives. Through service-learning from S1 to S4, they care for the underprivileged in the community by supporting services such as Food Angel. At flag-raising ceremonies, student leaders honour the nation as flag bearers. In the Soyvestors’ Soybean STEAM Education Programmes, they reflect on the lives of farmers and learn compassion, empathy, and discernment, thereby cultivating positive values.

As we approach our 60th anniversary in 2027, we remain committed to our founding vision of whole-person education. We will continue to uphold the integration of academic excellence and character formation, and on this new journey, dedicate ourselves to nurturing Ming Kei students who are idealistic, capable, and responsible. In doing so, we pass on the torch of education from generation to generation, ensuring that our mission of nurturing young people endures for generations to come.
