Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Application Submission
Parents start by completing the online registration form and paying a non-refundable application fee of HKD 1,300. Required documents (such as a birth certificate and, where applicable, school reports) must accompany the application. Applications can be made up to five years in advance.
2. Registration and Priority
Once payment is received, the child is added to the registration list. Priority is given to siblings of current LIS students; all other applicants are placed on a first-come, first-served basis. Families must reconfirm their application once each year by email to remain on the list.
3. Interview
When a space becomes available, the school invites the applicant for an interview with an LIS teacher. This includes a level assessment to ensure placement is appropriate to the child’s academic, social, and emotional development.
4. Offer and Acceptance
If the student is accepted, parents must pay the Capital Contribution Fund (CCF), equal to three months of tuition fees and return the signed Terms & Conditions Form and Statement of Waiver to confirm the place.
5. Payment and Enrolment
Tuition fees are paid monthly via Direct Debit Authorisation (DDA) or autopay. Once these steps are completed, enrolment is confirmed.
Lantau International School operates a waiting-list system, not a pool or lottery. Applicants are listed in order of application date, with sibling priority for current families. The list is reviewed and updated annually, and parents must reconfirm interest by email each year to keep their child’s place. If reconfirmation is missed, the application is removed, and a new one is required.
The school does not publicly disclose any scholarships; limited financial assistance may be available upon request.
Located in Upper Cheung Sha Village on South Lantau Island, the Reception campus of Lantau International School serves children aged four to five in a bilingual English–Mandarin environment. Following the British Early Years Foundation Stage framework, the programme focuses on early literacy, numeracy, creative arts, and social development through structured play and exploration. The seaside setting near Cheung Sha Beach allows for outdoor activities and nature-based learning as part of daily routines. Class sizes are limited to 22 students, ensuring close teacher support. Families can reach the campus via school bus routes and local transport from Tung Chung and Mui Wo, making it accessible while maintaining a peaceful coastal environment.
