ELCHK Lutheran Secondary School (LSS) 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, which is near Yau Ma Tei station.

History

The school was founded by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong in April 1958 and initially borrowed 28B Grampian Road, Kowloon City, in order 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, 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.

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. In recent years, the school has used both Chinese and English as mediums of instruction.

Campus

The school has a non-standard campus, covering 13,000 square meters with 29 classrooms and various special-use rooms. Completed in 1964 and having undergone expansion in 1997, the architecture exemplifies the Bauhaus style.[1]
