In 1841, Stanton had raised funds in England to start an Anglo-Chinese school Hong Kong.

The original purpose of the establishment of The Church of England Anglo-Chinese School was to train 'a body of native clergy and Christian teachers for the propagation of the Gospel in China...[and] to aid in the diffusion of Christian principles among the Chinese'.

Thus, the school had opened for the purpose of teaching English to Chinese boys in 1849
