The school first opened in 1906. The first principal was Miss Carden.[1] Originally on Caine Road, the school moved to its current location at Lyttelton Road, Mid-Levels, in 1923.[1] It has a history of voluntary social service and involvement in charitable work going back to 1920.[2]
In 2001, the school was one of a group of "traditional élite schools" criticised by the then Secretary of Education and Manpower Fanny Law for what she saw as reliance on rote teaching.[3] Staff from the school defended it.[3]
The Main Building of St. Stephen's Girls' College has been listed as a declared monuments of Hong Kong since 1992.[4][5]
