The Middle School program uses a House system where each student belongs to a House and a Pastoral Care Group (PCG) to foster community and school spirit.
HKIS is governed by a volunteer Board of Managers with ultimate responsibility to fulfill the school's mission. The Board is self-perpetuating and comprises 12 members, including the Head of School. An Operating Agreement with the Lutheran Church––Missouri Synod stipulates that a majority of the Board are members of the Church of All Nations. The Board focuses on selecting and supporting the Head of School, developing institutional policies, and ensuring financial stewardship.
The Repulse Bay Campus of Hong Kong International School (HKIS) serves students from Reception One through Grade 5. Located at 23 South Bay Close, Repulse Bay, the campus was fully redeveloped in 2017–2018 to provide bespoke facilities for early childhood and primary education.

Facilities include 70 homeroom classrooms, 14 Chinese Studies rooms, 4 art rooms, 4 music rooms, 2 cafeterias, 2 libraries, 9 playgrounds, and a 700-seat chapel. Dedicated spaces such as the Kid Kitchen, Hydroponic Farm, Media Lab, and STEM Lab encourage hands-on inquiry and creativity.

The campus combines strong academic foundations with facilities designed specifically for younger learners.
