Pui Kiu Middle School (培僑中學) is a secondary school located in North Point, in the Eastern District of Hong Kong. The school was founded in 1946 by Chinese investors from Southeast Asia and the children of overseas Chinese. In 1949, the People's Republic of China was founded, and the school agreed that it would uphold education based on Communist disciplines. In the late 1970s the Hong Kong government gained control over the school and emphasized British disciplines. The school was originally established in Pui Kiu Lang Park (around Happy Valley to the Mid-Levels area). In the 1980s it relocated to its current location in the Pacific Palisades in Braemar Hill.^[1]

Currently, Pui Kiu Middle School is part of the Direct Subsidy Scheme. The campus features a swimming pool, student dormitories, laboratories, computer rooms, classrooms, an indoor dining hall, an auditorium, a library and an indoor stadium.

A notable alumnus is Ma Lik, former Legislative Councillor and former Chairman of the The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong.

There is also an alumni association that organizes reunions, fund raisers, and other events. It also publishes a quarterly magazine that is sent to former students.
