History

True Light School, established in Guangzhou in 1872 by Harriet Newell Noyes.[1] "Thou Art the Light of the World" was chosen as school motto. Six students were enrolled. It was the pioneer of Chinese women's education in Southern China. The women's education that it advocates not only raised the status of women in society but also helped nurture the talents needed by the country and made a great contribution to the overall development of society.

In 1935, a branch primary school was established in Hong Kong. The secondary section was added in the post-war period. In 1951, the school was relocated to Tai Hang Road. The True Light Middle School of Hong Kong has grown to encompass 3 sections: a kindergarten, primary school and secondary school with a total enrollment of ~2000 students.
