Established in 1995, L.I.S. is like no other school in Hong Kong. We are a private, apolitical and unaffiliated school that offers the greenest learning environment in Hong Kong. Nestled amidst the scenic splendour of South Lantau Island across three campuses in Cheung Sha (4,500sq.ft), Tong Fuk (12,000sq.ft) and Pui O (9,000sq.ft), it currently operates 13 classes from Reception Class to Primary 6 in low-rise buildings.
At L.I.S., children receive a well-rounded education of the highest academic standard that combines both classroom (in low-rise buildings only) and outdoor learning (such as P.E. classes on the beach), allowing them to flourish socially and academically.
The school boasts a unique balance between a primary education in English following the British curriculum and extensive Mandarin classes. All our teachers are native English speakers, hold graduate degrees in English in the Primary Education sector and are authorised or permitted teachers recognised by the Hong Kong Education Bureau. Our Mandarin teachers are native mainland speakers.
L.I.S. stands for Lantau International School but also:
L.I.S. provides high standards of education with a student-to-teacher ratio does not exceed 24:1. This is conducive to creating a highly effective learning environment. As a result, the amount of one-to-one attention our students get from their teachers is maximised. In turn, this environment supports learning and enables teachers to teach the curriculum as efficiently as possible.
Teachers provide homework as and when appropriate. This may vary from class to class or even child to child to support, reinforce or extend learning.
Educational research shows that there is a positive correlation between the ability to read and doing well academically. Therefore, the base homework assignment provided at L.I.S is for students to daily read. This should take no more than 20-30 minutes to complete, depending on the class level.
At L.I.S., we believe that education should be affordable for everyone and that the fees should accurately reflect what the actual costs of your child’s education will be. We also believe that we are unique in Hong Kong in providing all learning material free of charge to the students. This includes all stationary, workbooks to write in as well as any textbooks and books used as learning material from the extensive libraries located in each classroom.
Our school library holds over five thousand books including three thousand in our lower primary campus and two thousand in our upper primary campus.
While all our classrooms are equipped with an interactive board (ActivBoard) and we provide every student from Primary 4 to 6 with a computer in the classroom for educational use as and when appropriate, we focus on learning through reading and writing on paper from Reception Class to Primary 3 as we believe this is the best way to develop their learning and core motor skills, awareness of the environment and memory.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
LIS has been a perfect learning environment for all children. I am so grateful that the God has sent our family to LIS, enabling my two children to make many friends and have amazing learning experiences.My children have strong sense of belonging to the school. LIS has encouraged my children’s curiosity and motivated them to keep learning. We would recommend parents to visit the school and teaching team to understand the curriculum and environment of the school.

At Lantau International School, my child's confidence has soared, driven by dedicated staff and a robust British curriculum that truly inspires learning.

My two kids both went through LIS for the whole of their primary education. They thoroughly enjoyed it while receiving a solid educational grounding. It's not a typical Hong Kong primary school and that's a positive point. I'm aware of many alumni parents with similar views. Good luck to the school for the future.

Both of my children have attended LIS for their primary schooling. I am very happy with the experience. The school and the staff there strike a great balance between educating the kids and at the same time giving them a rounded experience. They have homework but it is not excessive, they get out into the surrounding nature frequently and they have always seemed to be happy there. I would highly recommend the school for those looking for a UK based curriculum and a unique school experience.

My daughters both attended LIS and enjoyed it ! The teachers were friendly and approachable so, my girls looked forward to going to school.PE on the beach was the best experience for them . This was so different from other HKG schools.Smaller class size meant better attention to each student too !Both are now studying in UK and have fond memories of LIS !

Our daughter went to the school through primary. A great school with a family atmosphere. Very committed teachers. We couldn’t have chosen a better school for our daughter and we still miss those sports days. “Go L.I.S.”

We love L.I.S.! This is not a typical international school with fancy facilities, but having the nature as your classroom is best, let alone that teachers are amazing, accessible, and attentive. My son loves going to school everyday and is very happy there. We see a lot of positive changes in him since he started attending the school. L.I.S. strikes a great balance between academic work and activities, we highly recommend this school!

Nice school for my children to grow up. Three of them enjoy their childhood in this school. All teacher so helpful, especially to my oldest daughter who didn't speak English when she joined. Ms. Lambert patiently teach her English in P2. She just finish her second master degree. Thanks to all teacher in Lantau International School.

The perfect environment for kids to grow up in a hectic city like Hong Kong. Set away in the south side of Lantau, kids can learn efficiently in classes of suitable sizes while keeping in touch with nature. My two daughters have attended primary there and performed pretty well in secondary school afterward. I highly recommend it.
