UWC LPC is a 100% residential community. Students live in 4 residences on campus, each of them sharing a room with three other students. Whenever possible, rooms are composed of two second year and two first year students, two from Hong Kong and two from different overseas regions. All full-time teaching staff live on campus and are tutors. The tutors and the tutor groups are important lines of support providing guidance, a ‘home away from home’ atmosphere, a shoulder to cry in time of need and a group with whom to share good news. The campus also includes a sports hall, assembly hall, swimming pool, tennis court, basketball court, canteen, library, classrooms, and laboratories.

Situated in a beautiful setting in Ma On Shan, and overlooking the waters of Starfish Bay and Tolo Harbour, the school campus is less than 10 minutes’ walk from Wu Kai Sha MTR station, making its location very convenient.
