Kowloon True Light School is a Protestant girls' secondary school, founded in 1945, and situated in Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. This school is located near Kowloon Tong station.
Like all True Light Middle School in Hong Kong, the predecessor is True Light Seminary, which is the first girl school in South China.

It moved to Suffolk Road in 1960.

History

On 16June 1872, True Light School, a primary school, was founded in Guangzhou on the Chinese mainland by Harriet Newell Noyes, a missionary from the American Presbyterian Church. In 1917, the True Light Middle School was established in Guangzhou as a secondary section.
In 1949, due to the communist takeover of Guangzhou, the school transferred to Hong Kong. It was finally relocated to the current site in 1960, with an affiliated primary school and kindergarten opened on its original campus on Waterloo Road. In 1990, the basketball court was demolished, in order to build a new annex. In addition, a six-story new building was completed in 2006.
