Post dives into Hong Kong International School’s background and its ties with Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, offering more insight into legal drama

A US-based church has recently dropped a bombshell by suing a top Hong Kong international school it co-founded for allegedly breaching an operating agreement, threatening to evict the institution from its campuses and set up a new one.

The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) from the United States has also accused the operator of Hong Kong International School (HKIS) of turning the not-for-profit institution into a business, an allegation that the school has denied.

The Post dives into the school’s background and its relationship with LCMS to offer more insight into the unfolding legal drama.

The school provides an American-style education to students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12, with the primary section based in Repulse Bay and the secondary section in Tai Tam.
