The Kadoories were well-known for their charitable endowments, particularly in the sphere of education. Among other things, Ellis Kadoorie established a school for Chinese boys in Hong Kong which was acknowledged by the British authorities there to be "one of the finest school buildings in the Colony".

He also set up a school for Indian boys in Hong Kong as he believed that their requirements were different from those of Chinese students.
