ELCHK Lutheran Academy

During the 10 years from 2000 to 2010, we have encountered various problems during the lead time for the Academy - from the opposition regarding the proposed building location at Ping Shan by the locals to the suspension of the whole project as decided by the Education Bureau due to decreasing birth rate - and yet we do not give up our faith in creating a new school with an epochal curriculum for our young generations. Eventually in 2008 the Legislative Council has accepted and approved the School Development Project. A sum of around 280 million dollars has been granted for building the school premise and it has been ready for use since 2010.

Our school is founded by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong (ELCHK) whose aim is to follow the Great Commandment of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:16 - 20), and to imitate His example of teaching and serving. Addressing the physical and spiritual needs of our society and leads people to accept the Gospel, the Good news of Jesus Christ.

LA is determined to provide our future leaders with quality education and become one of the best schools that the community could always look up to.

Through Christian education, LA pledges to cultivate students’ ethics and morality to act with integrity and honesty. They think, inquire, interact, reflect, strive and excel within and beyond our school-based international curriculum framework. As a school that values and celebrates respect for diversity, we are dedicated to fostering students' consciousness of Chinese culture, and equipping them with international-mindedness and holistic abilities for lifelong learning.

The school premises are spacious and covers about 9,900 sq. meters in area. Its facilities have been delicately designed with the aim of giving impetus to students' learning. Key design features include:

• Two teaching blocks which divide the Primary Year Level section and Secondary Year Level section. The components of every classroom can be freely re-combined to fit the specific needs of different learning activities. Connected corridors in every storey of the two teaching blocks fully illustrate the spirit of 'integration'.
• Outdoors running track and other sports facilities that cultivate students' kinesthetic ability and develop their physical fitness and aesthetic appreciation.
• Performing Art Room to exhibit students' art talents in music, visual arts and drama, holding a capacity of 1000 people, in which enables a variety of group activities to take place.
• A semi-open designed Library with window outer walls that line it up with the green garden outside, providing an ideal place for students to enjoy reading
• WIFI Internet connections throughout the campus, allowing wireless communications and scalable use of software programs
• Other facilities such as Special-purpose Building, Integrated Humanities Room, Science Laboratory, Technology Laboratory, Global Languages Learning Room and Multi-media Learning Room that provide a unique learning experience for students to explore the world.
