History

Sheng Kung was originally founded in Tianjin, China, in 1914, but was forced to leave during the Chinese Civil War. The school was re-founded in Tainan, Taiwan, in 1964. Sheng Kung is a private, all-girls Catholic school. Our school has a great academic reputation and is known for its emphasis on holistic education. Due to our founding by the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, an order of nuns that has also opened schools in Germany, the US, Brazil, Namibia, and the Philippines, our school has a distinctive international perspective.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, a group of Catholics who cared about girls' education proposed to establish schools in the concession. This proposal was strongly supported by Catholic priests Li, Lu-yi, Yang, Ren-zhi, church members Chen, Jin-ren, Ying, Shi-fu, etc., and each of them used money as the cost of running the school.

At first, Ying, Shi-fu's wife ─ Mrs. Ying, Huai-qing served as the principal of "Sheng Kung School", also known as "Sheng Kung Girls' School".(elementary school)

In 1915, Ms. Shia, Jing-ru took over as the principal, and established the middle school.
