Founded in 1970 as Islamic College, the school was formally renamed Islamic Kasim Tuet Memorial College in 1997. It is founded and sponsored by the Chinese Muslim Cultural and Fraternal Association.[3] The school motto is composed of four key Chinese characters: Prolific, Academic, Affectionate, and Cooperative, which represent the fraternal nature and peace-loving spirit of Islamic teachings.[4]

Academics[5]

  • Physical Education.

The school implements the New Secondary School Curriculum at Secondary 4. Apart from the 4 core subjects (i.e. Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics, and Liberal Studies), students may choose to study 3 or 2 more other subjects.

At present, students in S1-S6 are taught according to the HKDSE syllabuses and helped to prepare for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education.

Special arrangements are made and school-based curriculum is utilized for non-Chinese students, who will sit for the GCSE and GCE Chinese Language examination conducted in Hong Kong.
