St Stephen's College (Chinese: 聖士提反書院) is a Christian Direct Subsidy Scheme co-educational secondary school located in Stanley, Hong Kong. With an area of about 150,000 m² (15 hectares), the College is the largest secondary school in Hong Kong, and is one of the very few boarding schools in the territory, many buildings in the campus are listed in the list of historic Buildings and Declared Monuments by the Antiquities Advisory Board. When the College is founded in 1903, there were only six boarders and one day student; in academic year 2011-2012, there were 1200 students. The current principal is Ms. Carol C. Yang. St Stephen's College uses English as a medium of instruction, except for Chinese, Chinese History, Chinese Language and Culture, Putonghua, Visual Arts and Physical Education. St Stephen's College is the first school in the territory having its own Heritage Trail in the school campus.
History
The establishment of the College dates back to 1902. A group of prominent Chinese businessmen approached the Church Missionary Society to administer a school for their sons. The inspiration came from Dr. Pibi Nay Nay Yan. The aim was to maintain the standard of teaching and level of equipment which is comparable to the best Public Schools in England. In 1903, St Stephen's College was officially established on Bonham Road in Western District. In the 1920s, the government granted the school 25 acres (101,000 m²) on the Stanley Peninsula in recognition of outstanding contributions to education. The foundation stone was laid in April 1928 by the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Cecil Clementi, and in May 1929, the college was fully functional in its new buildings, many of which are still in use today.
During the battle of Hong Kong in the Second World War heavy fighting took place around the College, which was among the last British strongholds to surrender to the Imperial Japanese Army. Shortly after surrendering the Imperial Japanese Army broke into the College (which served as a military hospital during the battle) and murdered wounded soldiers of the Allied forces. (see St. Stephen's College incident) The Japanese later merged the College with part of Stanley Prison to form the Stanley Internment Camp.
The College reopened after the war and a chapel was built in 1950 to remember those who died during the Japanese occupation.
Originally a private school, St Stephen's College became a government-funded public school during the late 1900s. Since the 2008-2009 academic year, the College has become a Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) School, which is a historic change to the College as it freed the school from the centralised funding system that currently administers secondary education in Hong Kong. Students enrolled in the 2002 Primary 1 class at St Stephen's College Preparatory School, also based in Stanley, were the first group of students to enter the DSS system. In order to upgrade the school administrative level, this is the first secondary school in Hong Kong to employ a Registered Professional Housing Manager on its staff to manage and handle all property and facilities-related issues for and on behalf of the school.

Curriculum
Before the 2009-2010 academic year, as a local school in Hong Kong, the College had been providing three years of junior secondary, two years of senior secondary and two years of matriculation education under the English 3223 education system.
After the educational system reform was launched by the government, the College has started providing three years of senior secondary education from Form 4 since the 2009-2010 academic year under the New Senior Secondary 334 Scheme. Meanwhile, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) will also commence in the academic year of 2014-2015. The IBDP is a two-year curriculum and is monitored under the International Baccalaureate Organization rather than the Education Bureau of Hong Kong. Since IBDP is two years long, the College will provide a one-year IBDP bridging course to help student adapt to the essay and discussion emphasized IBDP education mode.
Class Structure
This is the class structure of the College in the academic year of 2014-2015:
Junior Secondary
Form 1 students' Chinese Language and English Language lessons, and non-elite classes of Form 2 and Form 3 are subdivided into three groups every two classes; all Computer Literacy and Computer and Information Technology lessons are subdivided into two groups every class, in order to adopt "small class teaching". Students only have to take Design and Technology & Food and Home Management for one term each. Every class is divided into two groups, and one group takes Design and Technology while the other group takes Food and Home Management. Subjects are swapped in the second term. Putonghua lessons in Form 1 to Form 3 may be allocated with individual lesson time depending on teacher resources. If individual lessons are allocated, lesson time is taken from Chinese Language lessons. Otherwise, Putonghua subject contents will be taught during Chinese Language lessons.
Due to the implementation of Direct Subsidy Scheme, junior secondary students are divided into 6 classes in each form. One-third of the students in a grade, with better academic performance are allocated into "elite classes"
- Form 1: 1C, 1D, 1H, 1J, 1L, 1Y
- Form 2: 2C, 2D, 2H, 2J, 2L, 2Y
- Form 3: 3C, 3D, 3H, 3J, 3L, 3Y
The six letters represent six qualities of teenagers, namely Courage, Diligence, Honesty, Justice, Loyalty and Youthfulness.

334 Scheme Senior Secondary Curriculum
Senior secondary students are divided into five classes and remain unchanged throughout their three years senior secondary school life. Originally they are allocated according to their subject choices. However, the disparity of the language and mathematics standards of students are large. Moreover, the number of students taking some subject combinations are small, creating a waste of resources. As a result, student are allocated according to their academic results in Form 3, with considerations to their subject choices, with effect from the academic year 2012-2013. Classes with more students are subdivided into two groups form language subjects. As for Mathematics and Liberal Studies, student are divided into either two groups per class, three groups every two classes or five groups every three classes. The representation of the five class letter are the same as those in junior secondary.
