About this school
Hong Kong International School (HKIS) was founded in 1966 by Lutheran missionaries of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod together with American business leaders. It offers an American-style education grounded in the Christian faith while respecting the spiritual lives of all, and celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2026-27. The school began on a single campus in Repulse Bay.
The Repulse Bay campus, entered from 23 South Bay Road, houses both primary divisions:
- Lower Primary: around 770 students from Reception 1 to Grade 2 (ages 4-8) in a seven-storey building
- Upper Primary: around 660 students in Grades 3 to 5 (ages 8-11) in an eight-storey building linked by a bridge
Learning is play- and inquiry-based, using a standards-based curriculum designed with the Understanding by Design model. Homeroom teachers teach core subjects including religion, while specialists teach Chinese, art, music, library and PE. Upper Primary pupils also use spaces such as a Kid Kitchen, Media Lab, Farm and Design Garage. A Dual Language Immersion programme starts in Reception 1. Students wear uniforms and travel by school bus, and paid after-school activities are available.
