YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College

As a school operated under the DSS scheme and receives a subvention from the Education Bureau.  The school also collects fees from parents.  The subvention and school fees received from the EDB and parents respectively are used to fund a diverse range of quality educational programmes and provide excellent facilities. 

 

Since the school is a non-profit making school, the fee structure is determined according to the school's needs.  Parents are consulted before making changes to existing school fees and the proposed changes are approved by the School Management Committee (SMC) and the EDB. 

 

Income received by the school is used to pay staff salaries, purchase teaching and learning and teaching materials, student activities, maintain school facilities, and pay for utilities and other operating expenses. Any financial surplus at the end of each academic year is reinvested into the school by upgrading facilities and equipment.
