L.I.S. provides primary schooling in the English language from Reception Class to Primary 6. The curriculum follows the requirements of the British National Curriculum and administers annual National Foundation for Educational Research Tests from Primary 1 to Primary 6.

According to the British Curriculum, children must be in Reception Class when turning four years old during the school year and in Primary 1 when turning five.

As we have students and teachers from all over the world and are based in Hong Kong, we have slightly adapted the British National Curriculum so that it may be tailored to these unique circumstances.

L.I.S. provides one of the highest ratios of teachers per children, with no class exceeding 22 children per teacher in lower primary (Reception Class to Primary 3) and 24 children in upper primary (Primary 4 to 6).

Thematic work focuses on local history and geography, as well as the traditional culture of Hong Kong and China. These areas of study are connected to broader topics in European and North American history, geography, and culture.

World religions are taught with the aim of promoting understanding, tolerance, and the appreciation of the rich collective histories and cultures of this part of the world.

Some of our pupils are bilingual if not trilingual at a very early age. L.I.S. provides training in Mandarin starting from the Reception Class in order to encourage fluency in Chinese as well as English.

L.I.S. takes full advantage of its green surroundings with outdoor education programs, such as camping trips, P.E. on the beach, school hikes, outdoor nature lessons and sometimes unexpected encounters with the rich wild fauna of Lantau South!
