The Delia Group of Schools is an education organisation in Hong Kong founded in 1965 by J. W. Edmonds and his wife.[1] It is evolved from Delia Memorial School in Ashley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.
The couple chose Delia Tetreault, a religious sister, as the school's namesake to honour her for what she did in China as a Catholic missionary.
Delia Group of Schools consists of three different sections: Delia Memorial School, Delia English Primary School and Kindergarten, and Delia School of Canada.
There are multiple branches of Delia Memorial Schools across Hong Kong. The education provided is based on the local Hong Kong secondary curriculum. With their motto "Harmony in Diversity", their schools bring students of different nationalities under the local education system. For many years, the schools have supported the integration of local ethnic minorities with the local Hong Kong community.
