WYHK Mission H3
As we celebrate our 105th anniversary, we proudly unveiled Mission H3—our strategic blueprint for the College’s second century, anchored in Heritage, Hope, and Humanity. Developed through a year of spiritual conversations, meetings, and collaborative discernment with the Jesuit Education Board, IMC members, staff, past students, parents, and students, Mission H3 embodies our shared vision for the future of Wah Yan education. This roadmap not only honors our storied legacy but also charts a transformative path forward, ensuring we remain a beacon of Jesuit education in a rapidly evolving world.
All That’s Noble and True
OUR COLLEGE
We offer a holistic, liberating and transforming Catholic education within a learning community of students and teachers. Our goal is to nurture progressively competent, committed, compassionate, spiritual and ethically discerning persons. Wahyanites share a universal heart in contributing to the welfare and happiness of all, particularly the poor and the neglected.
We are Proud of Our Heritage
From our founding days to the present, we have been upholding our mission for more than a century. The Wah Yan story is one of adaptation and growth. Wah Yan College was founded on 16th December 1919 by Mr. Tsui Yan Sau, Peter. There were four students on the first day of school. It was not long before we became the first Grant-In-Aid school founded and managed by a Chinese in 1922. Our extraordinary performance in the early days drew the attention of the Jesuits, who agreed to take over in 1932.

What makes a Wahyanite?
WE DON’T HAVE A MOLD.
We have a method — a method that enables each to flourish in his unique way gifted by God. We treasure each young man’s special talents. We care for the whole person and provide life-transforming education. Every Wahyanite is a unique story, and Wah Yan celebrates all.
We Nurture Reflective Learners
As a Jesuit school, we believe that the learning experience at school should move beyond rote learning to the development of the more complex learning skills of understanding, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. We apply the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP) in our teaching and learning. We believe that the teacher’s primary role is to facilitate the growing relationship of the learner with truth, particularly in the matter of the subject being studied under the guiding influence of the teacher.
