ELCHK Lutheran Secondary School (LSS) (Chinese: 基督教香港信義會信義中學) is a Lutheran aided mixed-sex secondary school in King's Park, Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong established in 1958. The school moved to its current location in 1964, near Yau Ma Tei station.
History
[edit]The school was founded by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong in April 1958 and initially borrowed 28B Grampian Road, Kowloon City, to operate, adopting a half-day timetable. 2 years later, as the church that owned the address stopped renting it out to the school, they moved to a vacated campus at 23 Ho Man Tin Hill Road. In 1959, the school was approved to build a new campus at 52 Waterloo Road,[2] which remains their address. They also opened a branch campus in Yuen Long, now ELCHK Yuen Long Lutheran Secondary School. As the permanent campus was completed in 1964, the school officially moved into it.[3]
In its early days, the school had both Chinese and English classes and switched to using English as the sole medium of instruction from 1981 to 1998.[4] In recent years, the school has used both Chinese and English as mediums of instruction.
Campus
[edit]The school has a non-standard campus, covering 13,000 square meters with 29 classrooms and various special-use rooms.[5] Completed in 1964 and having undergone expansion in 1997, the architecture exemplifies the Bauhaus style.[6]
