Lantau International School (LIS) was founded in 1995, making it one of the longer-established international primary schools on Lantau Island. The school has grown from a single campus in Tong Fuk to three campuses—Cheung Sha, Tong Fuk, and Pui O—serving Reception through Primary 6. It remains a privately owned institution, independently operated rather than part of a larger education group. Over time, LIS has maintained its focus on small class sizes and English-medium teaching following the British Curriculum.
Lantau International School’s community is centred around its close-knit island setting, bringing together families from the local and expatriate populations of South Lantau. The school organises annual celebrations, outdoor activities, and whole-school events such as the Summer Reading Challenge and sports days. Outdoor learning is a regular feature, with students taking part in beach PE, hikes, and nature-based projects, reflecting the school’s connection to the surrounding environment.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) or related events.
Located in the village of Tong Fuk on South Lantau Island, the Lower Primary campus of Lantau International School (Primary 1-3) offers English-medium instruction under the British Curriculum with regular Mandarin lessons. The campus enjoys a tranquil setting near beach and greenery, allowing children to benefit from outdoor play and physical education next to the village’s football pitch. Class sizes are capped at 24 students, and all learning materials are provided at no extra cost. Children access the campus easily via dedicated school buses or public transport from Tung Chung. The Principal, James Lambert, and his teaching team emphasise foundational skills, daily reading and friendly teacher-student interactions. With strong transport links, beach-side play space and a curriculum trusted by expatriate families, the Tong Fuk campus is suited for families relocating to Hong Kong who value a smaller-scale primary environment in a natural island location.
