HKMA David Li Kwok Po College is a directly subsidised (DSS) college in Hong Kong, using English as the primary medium of instruction.[1]
Founded in 2000, HKMA David Li Kwok Po College[2] provides bilingual and multicultural education to learners in Hong Kong. As an English Medium of Instruction school, all school subjects are taught in English, except Chinese language for junior forms, which is taught in Putonghua.

Mission statement
The College's mission is to promote a well-rounded English style education for the total development of our students, encompassing moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic aspects. The College believes that each student has worth and is endowed with potential and that the school can and should develop its students to the fullest. The College also believes that every child has talent and this should be nurtured. Each student should also become an effective and independent learner by learning to accept responsibility for his or her learning outcomes. In 2012, it was the college's first year to take the HKDSE and most of their students achieved good results, with superior passing percentages in most subjects. In addition, one of their students, Hui Yuet, Reading, obtained a fantastic result in Five 2, One 3 and Two level 4’s.
