History

[edit]

Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL), formerly known as Christian Alliance International School (CAIS) in short,[1] opened as a primary and secondary Christian school owned and operated by Kowloon Tong Church of the Chinese Christian and Missionary Alliance [zh] (KTAC). CAIS began operations in September 1992 with approximately 40 secondary school students. In 1995, the school expanded to include elementary education.[citation needed] The school used the former campus of Christian Alliance College [zh] in Ma Tau Chung, Kowloon City District, which was also founded by KTAC. Christian Alliance College relocated to Tuen Mun, New Territories, in 1992 in phases. The last class of Christian Alliance College in the Ma Tau Chung campus was held in 1995–1996 academic year.[2]

Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School closed for renovations in 2017.

In 2020, the original campus in Ma Tau Chung re-opened as a primary school under the original full name Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School.[3]

The school maintains an evangelical Christian environment and requires all students to speak English. CAPCL uses the curriculum of Alberta Education with a bilingual program at all grade levels. The medium of instruction is "approximately 65% English and 35% Chinese (Mandarin with traditional script)".[4]
