The Delia Group of Schools is an educational organisation in Hong Kong founded in 1965 by J. W. Edmonds and his wife. [1] [2] The first location was Delia Memorial School on Ashley Road, in Tsim Sha Tsui. [3]

The couple chose Délia Tétreault, a Canadian religious sister, as the school's namesake, to honour her and the work that her congregation, the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, did in China. [1]

The Delia Group of Schools consists of three different sections: Delia Memorial School, Delia English Primary School and Kindergarten, and Delia School of Canada.

Delia Memorial Schools

There are several Delia Memorial Schools across Hong Kong, with the education provided being based on the local Hong Kong secondary curriculum. The school's motto is "Harmony in Diversity", and it brings students of different nationalities under the local education system.
