Though the school holds the spread of the Gospel to be one of its missions, its culture and atmosphere remains relatively open and liberal in the socio-political aspect.

The school and its Student Union had previously held memorial service and activities concerning the Tiananmen Square protests and June Fourth Movement which happened in mainland China, 1989.

Apart from classrooms and congregation hall, the school equips with science laboratories, playgrounds, rooms for various kinds of art, language and multimedia facilities for modern education.
