Mr. Charles Vath was the director of the Hong Kong Catholic Center, and the founder and president of
Caritas Hong Kong since 1953. Caritas Hong Kong believes in caring for love and creating hope. Until the 2000s, a group of Form 3 students were taken from every school without promoting to Form 4. Then there were a large number of Form 5 students leaving the school after
Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE). Under the past
elitism system, students with poor academic performance would be eliminated. These students also had the right to receive education. Hong Kong's support for high school students is quite inadequate. This was also the reason for the appearance of senior high school in those years, which only admit students of Form 4 or above. Caritas Charles Vath College is a DSS high school that was funded by the government in 2003. The school is a senior high school in Hong Kong, which mainly runs Form 4 and above. Before the implementation of the new high school curriculum, the students needed to go through the HKCEE and
Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE). During the two public examinations, many students became victims of
the system and lost the opportunity to go directly to senior forms in the original school. For the students who intend to continue their studies, Caritas Charles Vath College's senior secondary courses opened up another path. In the past, the school provided a series of one-year professional certificate courses including the HKCEE, the HKALE. The emergence of the HKDSE has brought shocks to the school. The school transformed. Starting from the 2020/2021 school year, the school set up junior high form classes. However, the school pays special attention to the purpose of helping the most lost and unsaved students did not change. Due to the shrinking amount of Hong Kong students, Caritas moved Caritas Wu Cheng-chung Secondary School into Caritas Charles Vath College campus, with latter ceasing operations. ==Campus environment==
