Introduction

G.T. (Ellen Yeung) College, founded in 1996 by the Gifted Education Council, is a co-educational through-train school offering both primary and secondary education, now operating under the Direct Subsidy Scheme. Its secondary campus sits in Tiu Keng Leng, Tseung Kwan O, in the eastern New Territories, somewhat removed from central Hong Kong but accessible by public transport. The school offers a dual pathway: the local New Senior Secondary (NSS) curriculum leading to the HKDSE examination, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme in the final years. Class sizes are modest and emphasis is placed on gifted education, small class instruction, and academic enrichment. A signature offering is its G.T. International Science Project Competition, which connects students across the Greater Bay Area and beyond. Students may also engage in a “Third Languages Group,” and arts, drama, leadership, and service programmes round out opportunities.
