School Vision

We offer a holistic, liberating and transforming Catholic education within a learning community for students and staff to become progressively competent, committed, compassionate, spiritual, and ethically discerning persons with a universal heart contributing to the welfare and happiness of all, in particular the poor and the neglected.

Wah Yan College, Kowloon was founded in 1924. We are a Jesuit boys' school offering secondary Catholic education from S1 through S6 (Grades 7 to 12).
We nurture Men of Human Excellence and form Men for and with Others. The 4Cs embody the true spirit of excellence at the heart of Jesuit education.
