Tsung Tsin Middle School is a secondary school affiliated to the Tsung Tsing Association of Hong Kong.

History

Founding

Tsung Tsin Middle School was formerly known as Tsung Tsin School founded by the Tsung Tsin Association of Hong Kong in 1922.[1] The Board of Directors of the Tsung Tsing Association decided to establish Tsung Tsin Middle School in May 1947, setting up temporary classrooms on the second floor of the Tsung Tsin Association on Morrison Hill Road in Happy Valley. The government allocated 30,000 square feet of land to build the school, with overseas guest groups also donating money.[2]

Pacific War

In view of the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Association resumed volunteer schools in 1947. In the same year, they decided to expand the size of the school and add a middle school department. Tsung Tsin Middle School was established in 1957. In 1959, the Association wanted an expanded school building, so preparations were made to build a new school.[3]

The new school building on Kwong Lee Road[4] was completed in 1965. The building is five stories high and L-shaped, with an auditorium on the ground floor, a laboratory on the fifth floor, a library, and 17 standard classrooms. This school building was also used as the class venue for Tsung Tsin Primary School. It was not until 1981 that the primary school affiliated to Tsung Tsin Middle School closed down and the school building was returned to the secondary school.

Charitable Organization

In 1993, the school sponsor group established Hong Kong Tsung Tsin Secondary School Co., Ltd. and began to operate the school independently as a charity organization.

Curriculum

In September 2015, the school signed a cooperation agreement with Think International School, who served as the curriculum director of the international curriculum of Tsung Tsin Middle School.[5]

Tsung Tsin Middle School has signed an agreement with Oxford International Education. Oxford International College in the UK will assist Tsung Tsin Middle School in providing IGCSE and A Levels college entrance examination courses.

Extracurricular Activities

In 2003, the school participated in the Hong Kong Green School Award organized by the Environmental Protection Department.[6]
